Right now BeatVig prices 13 NFL props at both. BetMGM is the cheaper side on 2 of them and DraftKings on 11. That is fewer than 30 comparable props, which is too small a sample to state as a percentage, so the counts are published on their own. This is the board as it stands at 01 Nov 23:48 ET, not an average over any period — BeatVig measures live prices and keeps no price history.
How they differ
BetMGM and DraftKings are both sportsbooks: each posts its own line and keeps its margin inside the two prices rather than charging it separately. Which of them is cheaper is not a constant and is not something this page asserts: every prop BetMGM and DraftKings 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
- BetMGM
- BetMGM 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.
- BetMGM'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 BetMGM 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 BetMGM. What it quotes right now is measured directly from the board below rather than described from memory.
- 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.
In short
BetMGM and DraftKings currently price 13 NFL props in common, which is too few to state a reliable percentage yet.
