BetMGM vs DraftKings: Who Actually Pays More?

BetMGM had the better price more often, which carries into parlays because a parlay multiplies its legs' prices: head to head, it had the better moneyline price on 65.1% of 106,637 markets where both books quoted the same game, across 1925 games in the last 30 days. DraftKings had it on 57.0%, and the two posted the identical price on 22.1% of the prices compared, which is why the shares add to more than 100. Across the 6 major US books together, theScore Bet leads, and that is neither book here. Both are true, and which one matters depends on how many books you actually have.

Head to Head

2. DraftKings 57.0% best price on 106,637 matched markets

What This Number Means

A market counts here only when both books quoted that same side of that same game at the same line. Anything either book skipped is thrown out, so neither is credited for coverage the other did not have. That is the whole point: it is the only way to compare two books on price rather than on how many markets they choose to post.

Where both books posted the identical number, both are counted as best, which is why the two percentages sum above 100. On this pair that overlap is 22.1% of the prices compared, so on roughly 22.1 in every hundred there was nothing to choose between them.

Does This Mean You Should Bet at BetMGM?

No, and the site's whole position is the opposite. No single book has the best odds, and the leader depends entirely on which books you compare: this page is that argument at two books. BetMGM leading DraftKings says nothing about either against a third book, and the best price on any individual game routinely sits somewhere else again. The useful move is to hold both and take whichever is better on the bet you actually want.
