Introduction

When selecting a sports book for your wagers, there are several factors to take into account. If you enjoy watching the games where you place your bets, then the amenities and atmosphere of the sports book will matter greatly to you. Conversely, if you prefer to place your bets quickly and leave, then the competitiveness of the odds available is what you should focus on. A good way to gauge how generous a sports book is can be seen in their rewards programs, particularly the comp percentage, as well as their parlay and teaser odds. This section outlines the performance of various sports book groups in these aspects.

It’s worth noting that while the Las Vegas area boasts around 100 casinos, there are only approximately 15 distinct groups of sports books. Casinos that belong to the same group typically share betting lines and demonstrate similar levels of generosity. I maintain a comprehensive list of these groups along with their associated casinos on my accompanying website. Wizard of Odds This section assumes that readers are already familiar with standard sports betting terms like parlay and teaser. If you aren't, I recommend visiting my page that explains these concepts. sports betting first.

Comp Rebates

Compared to many other casino games, sports betting tends to have lower profit margins, which means most sports books reward players with only a modest percentage of their total sports bets as comps, if they offer any at all. There is a higher profit margin on races, so sports books can afford to be more generous in that category. The subsequent table illustrates the payout structures for various sports book families. For traditional sports bets, the rebate shown applies to straight bets, while unique bets such as parlays and teasers often garner higher percentages. Similarly, the percentage for race betting is based on win, place, and show bets, with exotic wagers like exactas and trifectas usually offering more substantial returns.

Comp Rebates
Family Sports Racing
Caesars 0.25% 2.00%
LVH 0.45% 3.00%
MGM 0.00% 3.00%
Stations 0.20% 2.08%
Stratophere 0.20% 2.00%

The LVH stands out as the leader in sports betting rebates, offering a 0.45% return (or $1 worth of comps for every $220 wagered), earning it the title of best rebate provider.

MLB Money Lines

The following table provides a breakdown of the basis points between the two sides of Major League Baseball money lines, giving insight into how many 'cents' are represented within these lines. For instance, a set of 10-cent lines might be displayed as follows:

  • L.A. Dodgers +110
  • Arizona -120

The subsequent table lists the minimum basis points associated with MLB money lines from different sports books.

Parlays

Parlays are a popular type of wager within sports books. The next table focuses on off-the-board parlays, where players generally risk 11 to win 10 on each selection. It's worth noting that players often secure better odds by parlaying events that don’t carry -110 odds, as this results in a more advantageous mathematical calculation compared to the parlay table odds. However, for two-team parlays, the payout of 2.6 to 1 is marginally better than the mathematical approach typically suggests. Players should be aware that if any legs in a parlay have -110 odds, the calculations for those will default to the parlay table, while the others will be computed mathematically.
