Why This Matters

DraftKings typically runs 4-6% margins on NFL spreads and 6-8% on player props. Higher-hold prop markets are where the most vig hides — and where de-vigging reveals the most value. Understanding DraftKings' margin structure helps you know where to look for +EV opportunities.

Step-by-Step: De-Vig Calculator on DraftKings

  1. 1

    Open a DraftKings market and note both sides of the line (e.g., -110/-110 or -130/+110).

  2. 2

    Enter both odds into the De-Vig Calculator — select American format.

  3. 3

    Review the 7 de-vig methods. For standard 2-way markets, the multiplicative method is the go-to.

  4. 4

    Compare the no-vig probability to the actual line. If a sharp book (Pinnacle, Circa) shows a different price, you may have found value.

  5. 5

    Use the fair odds to calculate expected value on DraftKings' actual offered line.

Worked Example

DraftKings NFL spread: Chiefs -3 (-115) / Bengals +3 (-105). The calculator shows the multiplicative true probabilities are 53.5% / 46.5%, with 4.7% total margin. The Pinnacle no-vig line implies Chiefs 52.0% — so DraftKings is shading toward the public-side Chiefs by 1.5 points of probability.
