How the Arbitrage Calculator Works
This Surebet Calculator uses decimal odds to identify pricing discrepancies between bookmakers. By mathematically balancing your stakes, it ensures that your total return is higher than your total investment, regardless of which outcome occurs.
| Scenario | Odds | Stake | Return |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home Win | 2.50 | £40.00 | £100.00 |
| Away Win | 1.80 | £55.56 | £100.00 |
| Totals | – | £95.56 | £4.44 Profit |
What is Arbitrage Betting?
Arbitrage betting (or “Arbing”) is a low-risk strategy where a bettor wagers on all possible outcomes of an event across different sportsbooks. Because bookmakers set their odds independently, they occasionally create a “surebet” opportunity where the implied probabilities sum to less than 100%.
Strategies for Success
- 2-Way Arbitrage: Common in sports like Tennis or NBA where there are no draws.
- 3-Way Arbitrage: Used for Football (1X2 markets) to cover Home, Draw, and Away.
- Hedge Betting: Using the calculator as an Odds Converter to see how much to “lock in” after a price move.
Pro Tip: Most arbitrage opportunities disappear in minutes. Using an automated scanner or tool is often necessary for high-volume arbing in the UK market.
