Sports Arbitrage

[Nato17]

What is Sports Arbitrage?

Sports Arbitrage is a technique that uses odds at two or more bookies (bookmakers) to make a guaranteed profit. If you back all possible outcomes at a sports event at different bookies (bookmakers) with different odds, it is possible to make almost close to risk free profits.

Disclaimer: When I say almost close to risk free, it is based on the bookies (bookmakers) contractually fulfilling their obligations.

Now, before anyone gets their panties wet and start claiming it is a scam, I am not making any sales here, period. I am just stating the facts.

Someone just asked me how much I make a year. My last years revenue was at $400,000 from arbitrage. And my previous year was at $300,000.

I roughly spend about 2 hours a day choosing my arbs. Hope this helps.

I am just doing a survey if anyone wants to read more this....

Seriously seems like no one seems to be interested in learning how to arbitrage. Strange that when I give people tips no one seems interested.

I will continue this thread another few days and see if anyone really is interested in learning.

I guess it's not no one is interested. Everyone got their own way of betting. Your terms very chim. In short just wining by small percentage each game, I guess not everyone is interested in that. To win that amount you are saying, you need quite a big capital otherwise the winnings just ikan.

Not really. I average about 10-25% per month ROI. I started out using very little capital learning the trade; then began to pour in more capital. The reason I started going into arbitrage trading is because it is ALMOST risk free. The risk being that the Bookermakers go bankrupt overnight. But that happening is small; but still possible. The other risk being not being able to match the odds quickly enough.

You pointed out correctly that I use money to earn a percentage. It is definitely better than using huge labour to earn. Anyway, I deploy roughly anywhere between 2k to about 3k per arb trade. My requirements are that it must be within 6 hours and it must be at least 1% above.

In a day, I roughly find between 10-30 over opportunities, but that means splitting my capital among different bookies and then transferring back to the other bookmakers when they are almost out of funds.

The other downside is that I am playing in USD, so I am open to forex issues.

Teams: Karlskrona HK versus Asploven
Match Type: Over and Under
Bookmakers: Pinnacle & Ladbrokes
Date: 26 January 2014 @ 11 pm

1. Look at Pinnacle for Over 5.5. Odds currently are at 2.29. Odds found here.. Place $444.2. If final score is over 5, Pinnacle will pay out $1017.21.

2. Look at Ladbrokes. Odds found here at $1.83. Place 560 on Under 5.5. If final score is less than 5, Ladbrokes will pay out $1024.80

Total Capital Used: $1004.2
Total Score (if below 5) - Ladbrokes payout - $1024.80. Profit $20.60
Total Score (if above 5) - Pinnacle Payout - $1017.21. Profit $17.21

Now, the above is a LIVE EXAMPLE of what will take place in 3 HOURS From NOW!

Returns seems little I am sure a lot of people are going to say. But multiply that amount 20 times or even 50 times per day. That is a comfortable side income.

Hope the above explains it.

I forgot. For people who are learning, use DECIMAL POINTS. Do not use 5/6 odds etc. You will get screwed very fast if you do.

Teams: Chelsea Versus Stroke (FA Cup)
Match Type: Cross Markets
Bookmakers: Interwetten & Bet365
Date: 26 January 2014 @ 11 pm

1. Go to Interwetten and look for Chelsea giving European Handicap -2 to Chelsea. The odds are at 3.10. Place 330 on that odd.


2. Go to BET365 and look for Stroke to win with Asian Handicap of 2.5 goals. Odds for that are at 1.67. Place 670 on stoke.


Now, lets go through the ABOVE example. In any soccer game, there is a win, lose and draw. However, we are able to negate any draw simply because Bet 365 is giving 2.5 goals first. That 0.5 basically ensures there is NO DRAW.

Payout for either win/lose/draw is therefore $10.60 or $11. Again, it does not sound like much. But what have you effective wagered? 1K. Now, you can speed up the process like using 3k per match and that would give u $31.80 and $33 per match. Repeat the whole process 20-50 times a day. That would give u roughly about 600 to 1k a day.

Hope that helps in people understanding how it is done.

You are welcome. Seems there are a few people who have pm me. Guess that shows that this thread has some interest so let me continue with this thread.

Someone asked me what is the capital needed to generate about 100 per day. The answer would be about 20k. Rule of thumb is you should be able to generate about 100% of your capital in 6 months. So normally you should be able to double your capital per year.

Again, there are times you can make more than double. That is by putting stakes on MIDDLES. Middles normally occurs in things like american football whereby you are staking on a certain score line

For example:

<10 POINT 11 POINTS 12 POINTS 13>
Capital Back 20% 20% Capital Back

These returns can be very lucrative because they bring in bigger returns. However, you need to be lucky.

I suggest placing stakes on middles also to complement your arbs.
