Identify low-hold betting opportunities to minimize losses when clearing bonuses

What is a Low Hold?

A "hold" or "vig" is the percentage a sportsbook expects to keep from the total amount wagered on an event. A low hold means the sportsbook is taking a smaller cut, which is better for bettors.

Low hold opportunities are particularly valuable when:

Clearing sportsbook bonuses with playthrough requirements
Minimizing losses while completing wagering requirements
Finding arbitrage opportunities between different sportsbooks

The lower the hold percentage, the less money you'll lose when betting both sides of a market.
