Formula
Arbitrage Check: Sum of (1 / Odds) for all outcomes < 1
Arbitrage Percentage = (1 - Sum of Inverses) × 100%
Individual Stake = Total Stake × (1 / Odds_i) / Sum of Inverses
Guaranteed Profit = Total Stake × Arbitrage Percentage / (1 - Arbitrage Percentage)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is arbitrage betting?
Arbitrage betting (or surebetting) involves placing bets on all possible outcomes of an event using different bookmakers, guaranteeing a profit regardless of the result. It exploits price differences between bookmakers.
How do I find arbitrage opportunities?
Compare odds across multiple bookmakers for the same event. If the sum of the inverse odds (1/odds) for all outcomes is less than 1, an arbitrage opportunity exists.
Is arbitrage betting legal?
Arbitrage betting is legal in most jurisdictions. However, bookmakers may limit or close accounts of suspected arbitrage bettors, as it exploits their pricing inefficiencies.
What is a typical arbitrage profit margin?
Most arbitrage opportunities offer 1-5% profit margins. Larger margins are rare but possible, especially around the time odds are first released or when there are line movements.
