No-Vig Calculator

Remove the bookmaker margin from a market to reveal the vig-free fair odds and probabilities — the sharp price behind the line.

e.g. +150 or -110

Bookmaker margin (vig): 4.76%

Side B52.4%50.0%+100

The math, step by step

  1. 1. Convert each price to an implied probability — divide 1 by the decimal odds:
    Side A: 52.38% · Side B: 52.38%
  2. 2. Add them up — a fair market would sum to exactly 100%; the excess is the bookmaker's margin:
    52.38% + 52.38% = 104.76% → vig = 4.76%
  3. 3. Divide each implied probability by that total — this rescales the market back to 100%, giving the no-vig fair probability, and 1 ÷ fair probability is the fair price:
    Side A: 52.38% ÷ 104.76% = 50.00% (fair +100) · Side B: 52.38% ÷ 104.76% = 50.00% (fair +100)

Omenizer devigs the sharpest markets automatically and flags every book priced above the fair line.

How it works

implied_i = 1 / decimal_odds_i
overround = Σ implied_i           (> 100% — the extra is the vig)
fair_prob_i = implied_i / overround
fair_odds_i = 1 / fair_prob_i

This tool removes the book’s edge. To measure how much vig a book is charging rather than remove it, use the vig / hold calculator.

Worked example

A sharp book prices a match −180 / +155. Implied probabilities are 1 ÷ 1.556 = 64.3% and 1 ÷ 2.55 = 39.2%, totalling 103.5% — a 3.5% vig. Divide each by 1.035: fair probabilities become 62.1% and 37.9%, i.e. fair odds of −164 / +164. If another book offers that underdog at +185, you’re getting a price well above the fair line — a positive-EV bet.

3-way no-vig calculator (soccer 1X2)

Three-way vig removal is the same proportional rescale, just spread across three prices. Say a book prices a match Home −120 / Draw +260 / Away +310. Implied probabilities are 1 ÷ 1.833 = 54.5%, 1 ÷ 3.60 = 27.8% and 1 ÷ 4.10 = 24.4%, totalling 106.7% — a 6.7% overround. Divide each by 1.067: fair probabilities become 51.1%, 26.0% and 22.9% (summing to exactly 100%), i.e. fair odds of −105 / +284 / +338. Switch the calculator above to 3-way to run your own 1X2 prices.

FAQ

What is the vig?
The vig (or juice / margin / overround) is the bookmaker’s built-in edge. If you add up the implied probabilities of every outcome they price, the total is over 100% — that extra is the vig.
How do you remove it?
Divide each outcome’s implied probability by the total (the overround). That rescales them back to 100% and gives the no-vig fair probability; invert it for the fair odds.
Why does the fair price matter?
The no-vig fair price is the market’s best estimate of the true probability. Comparing a book’s price to the no-vig fair price is how you find positive expected value.
Which prices should I devig?
Devig the sharpest, most efficient market you can find (a low-margin book or exchange). The sharper the source, the closer the no-vig line is to the true probability.
How much vig is in a −110/−110 line?
A standard −110 on both sides implies 52.38% + 52.38% = 104.76%, so the vig is about 4.76%. Removing it gives fair odds of +100 (50%) on each side.
What is the multiplicative vs additive method?
This calculator uses the simple (multiplicative) method: divide each implied probability by the total. Some sharps prefer additive or power/Shin methods on lopsided lines, which shift a bit of probability toward favorites. For most 2-way markets the difference is small.
How do I remove the vig from 3-way (1X2) odds?
The same proportional method works across three outcomes. Convert the home, draw and away prices to implied probabilities, add all three (the total will exceed 100%), then divide each by that total. The rescaled probabilities are the fair 1X2 chances; invert each for the fair odds. Switch this tool to 3-way to do it automatically.
Is the no-vig price the same as the true probability?
It’s the market’s best estimate, not a guarantee. A sharp book’s no-vig line is close to true; a soft book’s is noisier. Devig the sharpest source you can.
What does a vig free calculator show?
It shows the market with the bookmaker’s cut taken out: fair probabilities that sum to exactly 100%, and the fair odds they imply. Comparing any book’s price to that vig-free line tells you whether you’re getting value.
