No NBA props are priced by both Pinnacle and Novig at this moment. Prices repopulate as each slate's boards open.
How they differ
Pinnacle is a sportsbook: it posts its own line and keeps its margin inside the two prices. Novig is an exchange: traders set the price between themselves and the fee sits outside it. Which of them is cheaper is not a constant and is not something this page asserts: every prop Pinnacle and Novig both price right now is converted to the implied probability of the same outcome and counted below, so the answer moves with the two boards rather than with the date this page was written.
Where Pinnacle is cheaper
Counted above: every prop Pinnacle prices lower than Novig. Listed below: the ones that also beat a de-vigged fair price, which is the stricter test and the only one worth acting on.
Pinnacle is not currently beating fair value on any NBA props both venues list.
How each one charges
- Pinnacle
- Pinnacle is a low-margin sportsbook that prices sharp and tolerates winning accounts, which is why its number is the reference many bettors de-vig against.
- Pinnacle still embeds its margin in the line, but the margin is thinner than a mainstream US book's.
- Pinnacle is not licensed in most US states.
- 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.
In short
Pinnacle and Novig are not currently pricing any of the same NBA props at this moment; a percentage will appear here once both venues quote something in common.
