How Arbitrage Works
1. Find Opportunities
Our system scans thousands of odds across multiple sportsbooks to find price discrepancies.
2. Calculate Bets
We calculate the exact bet amounts needed on each side to guarantee a profit regardless of the outcome.
3. Place Bets
Place the calculated bets on both sides and wait for the game to finish. You win either way!
Understanding Arbitrage Types
Choose the arbitrage strategy that best fits your risk tolerance and betting preferences. Each type offers different risk/reward profiles.
True Arbitrage
Equal Return Strategy
What it does: Allocates stakes so that no matter which outcome wins, you earn exactly the same profit.
Formula: Based on inverse odds to ensure your payout is fixed regardless of the winner.
Best for: Stress-free guaranteed profit with zero variance in returns.
Example:
If Team A wins: +$50 profit
If Team B wins: +$50 profit
Same profit either way!
Skewed Arbitrage
High Return Strategy
What it does: Overweights one outcome to achieve higher returns if that side wins, while breaking even (or small profit) on the other.
Formula: Calculates stakes to achieve your target return percentage on the chosen side.
Best for: When you have a personal lean toward one team but still want downside protection.
Example:
If Team A wins: +$200 profit (10% return)
If Team B wins: +$0 profit (break-even)
High reward, protected downside!
Risk-Weighted Arbitrage
Custom Profit Strategy
What it does: Sets stakes so both outcomes pay profit, but with different profit percentages based on your preferences.
Formula: Balances stakes to achieve your desired profit percentages for each outcome.
Best for: Custom risk/reward balance when you want exposure to both sides but with different weights.
Example:
If Team A wins: +$90 profit (3% return)
If Team B wins: +$30 profit (1% return)
Custom profit distribution!
Quick Comparison
| Strategy | Profit Variance | Best When |
|---|---|---|
| True Arbitrage | Zero (same profit always) | You want guaranteed, predictable returns |
| Skewed Arbitrage | High (big difference between outcomes) | You have a strong lean toward one side |
| Risk-Weighted | Medium (controlled difference) | You want custom profit distribution |
