Average Juice (Vig) Comparison

Juice, or vig, is the sportsbook's built-in margin. Lower juice means better value for bettors. The industry standard is around 4.5% for moneylines. Books with consistently lower juice give you more value on every bet, even when they don't have the absolute best line.

Methodology

This analysis uses real-time odds data from The Odds API, comparing prices across all available US sportsbooks for upcoming NHL games. We count how many times each book offers the best available price for each side of every market (moneyline, spread, totals). Juice is calculated as the sum of implied probabilities minus 100% for two-way markets. Data is refreshed every 30 minutes.
