What is Arbitrage?
Arbitrage is a trading strategy that exploits price discrepancies between different market makers or exchanges. By backing and laying the same outcome at different prices, you can lock in the same result regardless of where the market settles, subject to execution and price movement.
This calculator helps you identify arbitrage opportunities and calculate the exact stakes needed to produce equal returns across both outcomes.
Why Use Arbitrage?
Predetermined Returns
Lock the same result across outcomes, subject to execution and price movement
No Market Knowledge Required
You don't need to predict outcomes - just find price differences
Consistent Returns
Build a steady process with regular arbitrage opportunities
Defined Mechanics
The math locks the same result across outcomes
Exchange Access is Essential
To successfully execute arbitrage, you need access to an exchange where you can lay (take the other side of an outcome). Traditional market makers only allow you to back, which limits your arbitrage opportunities.
Why You Need an Exchange:
- •Lay: Only exchanges allow you to take the other side of the market
- •Better Odds: Exchanges often have better odds than traditional market makers
- •More Markets: Access to thousands of markets for arbitrage opportunities
- •Lower Margins: Exchanges typically have much lower margins than market makers
How It Works
Arbitrage trading involves placing trades on all possible outcomes of an event at odds that lock the same result regardless of the outcome, subject to execution and price movement. This calculator helps you find the optimal stake distribution.
Example
If you find back odds of 2.10 and lay odds of 2.05, you can calculate the exact stakes needed to lock the same result across both outcomes.
