Offshore Sportsbook Vig is not a single price tag. It changes by market type, operator, sport, and timing. For U.S. bettors comparing offshore books with regulated options before the 2026 NFL betting cycle, the useful question is narrower than “which book is cheaper?” The better question is: where does lower juice appear, where does it disappear, and what non-price risks sit beside it?
