| | Sports betting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | If the 7 point favorite is getting the most wagers, a bookmaker may change the vigorish on that team from -7 (-110) to -7 (-120), and move the underdog to +7 (+100). | | | In areas where sports betting is illegal, bettors usually make their sports wagers with illicit bookmakers (known colloquially as "bookies") and on the Internet, where thousands of online bookmakers accept wagers on sporting events around the world. | | | In this situation, the bookmaker may choose to adjust the vigorish in response to unbalanced action, rather than move the point spread. |

| | Although it may appear to be the loser, it is the winner that pays the vigorish. | | | To be a profitable sports bettor you must overcome the vigorish the book charges you when you win. | | | It should be obvious to you now that the winners, not losers, pay the vigorish, and the more you win the more vigorish you pay. |

| | Vigorish, however, is an unavoidable cost of gambling on sports. | | | If over the course of the season you wager on 80 games at $100 each, your total net return would be $1,120 (14% x 80 x 100). | | | So with a beginning bankroll of $5,000 the total net return at the end of the season would be $2,520 ($5,000 x 50.4%). |

| | Ignoring the vigorish, you should be breakeven, but you’re behind due to changing your bet size. | | | Although some professional football handicappers believe you should place a wager on any game that offers you a chance of winning that is greater than that required to breakeven after accounting for vigorish (approximately 52.4%), this is not the most effective approach to NFL betting. | | | However, in order to wager on a large number of NFL picks, the typical NFL football handicapper is forced to wager smaller amounts on each game so that he doesn’t risk losing his entire bankroll in just one or two weeks. |

| | Even money is a gambling term describing a wagering proposition in which the odds are even -- in other words, if one were to lose the bet, one stood to lose the same amount of money that the winner of the bet would win (less, of course, the vigorish or "juice"). | | | The term has come to have meaning in the wider English usage beyond actual gambling, however, as a way of describing an event whose occurrence is somewhat likely to happen, but far from inevitable, as in "It's even money that it will rain today." |

| | In a perfect world, sportsbooks in Nevada and worldwide could take in a proportionate amount of money on each side of a football game without ever moving their line. | | | The profit on balanced action comes from the vig, or juice, that is charged on sports bets. | | | The vig - short for vigorish -- gives the books a built-in edge against the betting public. |

It derives from the Russian "vyigrysh," meaning "winnings" or "profit from gambling," and was brought to America early in the 20th century by speakers of Yiddish. |
