No-vig calculator: fair odds and sportsbook margin

Enter the odds for every outcome of a market. For hockey 3-way (regulation time) fill in the draw too.

How it works

Add up the implied probability of every outcome. Anything over 100% is the margin the sportsbook builds into the line.

To get the fair probability of each outcome, divide its implied probability by the total. Fair odds are 1 divided by that fair probability.

Compare margins across sportsbooks on the same game. A book that charges 3% instead of 6% pays you more on every bet you make there over time.

Frequently asked questions

What is a normal sportsbook margin?
On main markets such as an NHL moneyline, sharp books charge around 2 to 4%. Recreational books and props are often 5 to 10% or more.
Is no-vig the same as true odds?
It is the fair price according to that sportsbook. It removes the margin evenly, which is a good estimate but not a guarantee of the real chance.
Why does this matter for parlays?
The margin applies to every leg, so a 5% margin on each of four legs adds up to a much larger edge against you on the parlay.

Key terms

Vig (vigorish)
The bookmaker's commission embedded in the odds, measured as the share of total stakes it keeps on a balanced market.
Implied probability
The probability an odds price represents, calculated as one divided by the decimal odds, before the bookmaker's margin is removed.
Closing line value (CLV)
The difference between the odds you took and the final pre-event price, used as the most reliable indicator of long-run edge.
Moneyline
An outright winner bet; in two-way sports like tennis it is the match price, while soccer adds the draw as a third outcome.
