The vig at +102

If both sides of a two-way market were priced at +102, the implied probabilities would add up to -0.99% above 100%. That excess is the overround, or vig; as a share of stakes it is a -1.00% margin for the bookmaker. Removing it leaves fair odds of 2.00 decimal ( +100) on each side.
