FanDuel vs DraftKings: which sportsbook has better odds?
Neither has better odds on everything. On the same line just before the start, DraftKings had the better price 45% of the time, FanDuel 39%, and they matched 16%, across 2,971 game-line sides from October 13 to November 9, 2026. FanDuel was ahead on NFL and NBA moneylines, DraftKings on NHL lines and college basketball, and other books such as Fanatics and Hard Rock Bet often beat both, so comparing every book wins more than picking one.

The list
At a glance
FanDuel vs DraftKings, line by line
We took FanDuel's and DraftKings' last price before the start on the main moneyline, spread and total of every game from October 13 to November 9, 2026, and kept the sides where both books hung the same line. On each one, the book with the higher payout had the better price.
| Games | DraftKings better | FanDuel better | Same price | Sides compared |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All leagues, all bets | 45% | 39% | 16% | 2,971 |
| All leagues: moneyline | 46% | 43% | 12% | 962 |
| All leagues: spread | 46% | 36% | 17% | 981 |
| All leagues: total | 43% | 37% | 20% | 1,028 |
| NFL | 32% | 38% | 30% | 119 |
| College football | 43% | 39% | 17% | 729 |
| NBA | 40% | 42% | 18% | 510 |
| NHL | 52% | 36% | 12% | 744 |
| College basketball | 46% | 38% | 17% | 816 |
FanDuel was better on NFL moneylines 51% of the time against 27% for DraftKings, and on NBA moneylines 47% to 40%. DraftKings was better on NHL puck lines 63% to 28% and on college basketball moneylines 54% to 37%.
DraftKings also charges a little less vig on average: 4.88% on main game lines against 5.12% at FanDuel in our vig study. Across every league the gap is small, so the book with the better price changes from one game to the next.
Which sportsbook had the best price most often?
FanDuel against DraftKings leaves out nine other big books. Taking all 11 together, each book's share of the sides it quoted where it had the best price, alone or tied with another book:
| Sportsbook | Best price, ties included | Only book at the best price | Sides quoted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hard Rock Bet | 29% | 14% | 3,310 |
| theScore Bet | 28% | 13% | 2,771 |
| BetParx | 28% | 2% | 5,693 |
| BallyBet | 27% | 2% | 5,615 |
| Fanatics | 26% | 14% | 4,118 |
| BetMGM | 24% | 13% | 4,739 |
| FanDuel | 24% | 15% | 3,471 |
| DraftKings | 23% | 13% | 3,942 |
| Caesars | 19% | 10% | 2,002 |
| BetRivers | 18% | 1% | 5,583 |
| bet365 | 17% | 11% | 1,882 |
FanDuel, Hard Rock Bet and Fanatics were each the only book at the best price on about 14% to 15% of their sides, the most of any book, even though DraftKings beat FanDuel head to head more often. BetParx, BallyBet and BetRivers often post the same price as each other, so they tie for the best price a lot and are rarely alone at the top.
No book had the best price on even a third of its lines. A bettor with one account takes the best price about a quarter of the time; one who compares every book takes it every time.
The best sportsbook by league
The book most often alone at the best price, by league and bet type, over the same games:
| League | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| NFL | DraftKings (26%) | Fanatics (27%) | Fanatics (16%) |
| College football | BetMGM (22%) | Fanatics (21%) | Fanatics (19%) |
| NBA | FanDuel (24%) | Caesars (15%) | DraftKings (15%) |
| NHL | Caesars (16%) | BetMGM (29%) | theScore Bet (23%) |
| College basketball | FanDuel (18%) | theScore Bet (15%) | Hard Rock Bet (16%) |
On NFL spreads, Fanatics was alone at the best price on 27% of the sides it quoted. BetMGM charges the lowest vig of the big books on NFL spreads (4.02% in our vig study), because it is rarely far off on either side, while Fanatics more often posts the single best price on one side.
How we measured it
We used Betwatch's historical odds for 1,377 games that started from October 13 to November 9, 2026: NFL, college football, NBA, NHL, college basketball and the last MLB and WNBA games. For each game we took the main line of the full-game moneyline, spread and total (the line the most books hung) and each book's last price on it before the start.
A side counts when at least three of the big US books in the table above quoted that same line. The best price is the highest payout on the side, and books that match it share it. Shares are rounded to whole percents.
How we picked
Same line, same moment: each book's last price before the start, compared only where both books hung the same number.
Main full-game lines only: the moneyline, the spread and the total, the bets most people place.
Every league and bet type shown on its own, because the answer changes with them.
Counts every game in the window, not a few picked examples.
