Why do I have to risk $110 to win $100 on straight football wagers?
10% is a standard fee used by sportsbooks worldwide and is commonly known as the “juice” or “vig” (vigorish). In an ideal situation, the same amount of money will be wagered on both sides of the football line and the sportsbook will take its 10% fee from the losing side. In the event of a tie or “push”, all bets are refunded and no “juice” is charged.
