Vig (Vigorish)

Also known as: juice, the cut

The commission a sportsbook builds into its odds.

Vigorish — vig or juice — is the margin a book charges by offering odds slightly worse than the true probability. A standard -110 on both sides of a bet bakes in roughly 4.5% of vig.

The vig is the house edge you have to overcome; beating a market means winning by more than the juice.

Know your real number.

Be first to turn scattered bets into one honest, finance-grade ledger.
