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.

Go PremiumHow 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.
