Right now BeatVig prices 71 NBA props at both. Tonybet is the cheaper side 4% of the time (3 of 71), and Novig is cheaper on 66. This is the board as it stands at 29 Oct 05:34 ET, not an average over any period — BeatVig measures live prices and keeps no price history.
How they differ
Tonybet 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 Tonybet 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.

How each one charges
- Tonybet
- Tonybet is a sportsbook: it posts its own line and prices both sides itself, taking the other side of the bet rather than matching two users against each other.
- Tonybet's margin sits inside the two prices rather than arriving as a separate charge, so it is paid on every bet whether that bet wins or loses. The hold measured below is what that costs on the props Tonybet is quoting right now — add both sides' implied probabilities together and the amount past 100% is the margin on that market.
- BeatVig has not written a coverage note for Tonybet. What it quotes right now is measured directly from the board below rather than described from memory.
- 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.
