Head to head

Novig vs DraftKings

Which venue is currently the cheaper side of the same player props, de-vigged and counted live.

Right now BeatVig prices 1,024 player props at both. Novig is the cheaper side 70% of the time (723 of 1,024), and DraftKings is cheaper on 278. This is the board as it stands at 31 Oct 13:35 ET, not an average over any period — BeatVig measures live prices and keeps no price history.

How they differ

Novig looks like a sportsbook and prices like an exchange. That is the entire point of it: instead of a trading desk taking the other side of your bet and keeping a margin, another user takes it and Novig takes a small fee. Against DraftKings that should show up as a straight price improvement on the same outcome rather than a difference of opinion about the outcome. The board below is how often it actually does.

How each one charges

Novig
Novig is a peer-to-peer exchange wearing a sportsbook interface: your price comes from another user rather than from a trading desk that sets a margin.
Novig takes a small per-contract fee from the taker and pays makers a rebate rather than baking vig into the line. It is low-fee rather than fee-free, and when Novig steps in as counterparty in a thin market a spread comes back into the price.
Novig covers the mainstream major-league slate with real depth and thins out quickly past it.
DraftKings
The DraftKings sportsbook sets the line, prices both sides with its margin included, and takes the other side of your bet itself. DraftKings Predictions is a separate, CFTC-regulated product with its own pricing and its own state list.
DraftKings' margin is inside the price. You pay it on every bet you place, whether that bet wins or loses.
DraftKings offers the widest US player-prop menu of any venue on this site.
