Hold (Vig) Calculator

See how much margin the book has baked into a market.

How it works

Hold is the book's built-in margin: the sum of every side's implied probability minus 100%. A standard -110/-110 spread market holds about 4.5%. Three-way soccer markets often hold more.

Lower hold means better prices for you. Comparing hold across books on the same game is one of the simplest ways to find the better place to bet.

Calculators show the math. The CappingAlpha rankings do the rest: every game, every day, run through our proprietary scoring engine.
