The "vig," or vigorish, is the built-in commission sportsbooks include in their odds to make a profit. Legal Sports Report explains that it's a hidden fee that directly impacts a bettor's potential profits. According to Esports Insider, even a small vig like 5% significantly alters the break-even win rate, meaning you need to win a higher percentage of your bets just to avoid losing money.
