Does DraftKings or Caesars have better odds?

Neither one, every time. It changes by bet type and by day: Caesars is often the cheaper of the two on football and basketball, while DraftKings covers more leagues and more kinds of bets.

What is the sportsbook's cut (vig, juice or hold)?

It is the margin a book builds into its own prices. Price both sides of a bet at -110 and the two implied chances add up to about 104.8% — that extra 4.8% is the book's cut. A smaller cut means you keep more of what you win.

Is it worth having both accounts?

Usually. Caesars posts the better number on plenty of bets even on days when its average cut is the bigger of the two, so checking the price at both before you bet — bettors call it line shopping — beats picking one book and staying there.

Which has better limits, DraftKings or Caesars?

Neither publishes its limits, and both reduce them for accounts that keep winning. DraftKings has the stronger reputation for doing it quickly. Either book takes its largest bets on major-league games.

Beyond the price
