The sportsbook's cut (hold and vig)
Every pair of odds has a fee built into both sides — see how big it is on your market, and whether that's normal.
Sportsbook's expected cut· in the normal range

The cut is the share of every dollar wagered the sportsbook expects to keep. Two prices with nothing added to them would imply chances adding to exactly 100% — everything above that is the cut.
