Everybody Pays a Vig

A VIG is the juice of life that everybody pays for their actions, their energy.

The "Vig" in gambling/street hustling terms, is the percent that the bookey gets whether the person wins or looses. It is the cut from the exchange of goods, the fee, the keep. I hope you get my drift…

The bottom line, everybody, whether it is a business transaction, a day at work, or any activity, is going to have to pay something that they will never get back. That's the vig, the juice of life.

Definition from www.wikipedia.com:


Vigorish, or simply "the vig", also known as "juice" or "the take", is the amount charged by a bookmaker for his services. The term is Yiddish slang originating from the Russian word for "winnings", vyigrysh. Bookmakers use this concept to make money on their wagers regardless of the outcome. Because of the  vigorish concept, bookmakers should not have an interest in either side winning in a given sporting event. They are interested, instead, in getting equal action on each side of the event. In this way, the bookmaker minimizes their risk and always collects a small commission from the vigorish. The bookmaker will normally adjust the odds (or "line") to attract equal action on each side of an event.
