Now, we can compare the odds between each sportsbook. Odds, or the vig, is what the sportsbook charges you to place your bet. To compile rankings, we examined odds for spread, moneyline, and total markets for seven different leagues, covering over 100 games for each league. Golden Nugget is a better option with a N/A star rating over FanDuel (DFS)'s 4.00 star rating.
Odds aside, we can now compare educational features. Bettors new to sports betting will want high-quality education informing them of what different betting markets are available and how to bet them. FanDuel (DFS) offers education explaining how to bet, while Golden Nugget does not. Next, comparing the total number of sports offered, Golden Nugget takes bets on 16 sports while FanDuel (DFS) takes bets on7 sports, a difference of 9 sports.
