FAQ

What is 'vig' or 'juice'?

Vig (vigorish) or juice is the built-in profit margin bookmakers add to their odds, ensuring they make money over time regardless of the outcome.

Why do I need to calculate 'fair' odds?

Removing the vig helps you find the true probability of an outcome as estimated by the market, which is crucial for identifying +EV (Expected Value) bets.

What is overround?

Overround is the percentage by which the sum of the implied probabilities of all possible outcomes exceeds 100%. This excess represents the bookmaker's margin.

Which de-vigging method is best?

Each method estimates probabilities under different assumptions. Shin models insider trading; no method is universally most accurate.

Can I use this for 3-way markets like soccer?

Yes, this calculator supports both 2-way (e.g., basketball spreads) and 3-way (e.g., soccer match winner) markets.
