What is Arbitrage Betting?

Arbitrage betting (also known as "arbing" or "sure betting") is a risk-free betting strategy that guarantees profit by exploiting price discrepancies between different bookmakers or betting exchanges. By backing and laying the same outcome at different odds, you can lock in a profit regardless of the result.

This calculator helps you identify arbitrage opportunities and calculate the exact stakes needed to guarantee equal profit on both outcomes.

Why Use Arbitrage Betting?

Guaranteed Profits

Lock in risk-free profits regardless of the outcome

No Market Knowledge Required

You don't need to predict outcomes - just find price differences

Consistent Returns

Build a steady income stream with regular arb opportunities

Low Risk Strategy

Mathematical certainty removes gambling risk

Exchange Access is Essential

To successfully execute arbitrage bets, you need access to a betting exchange where you can lay bets (bet against an outcome). Traditional bookmakers only allow you to back bets, which limits your arbitrage opportunities.

Why You Need an Exchange:

  • Lay Betting: Only exchanges allow you to act as the bookmaker
  • Better Odds: Exchanges often have better odds than traditional bookmakers
  • More Markets: Access to thousands of markets for arb opportunities
  • Lower Margins: Exchanges typically have much lower margins than bookmakers
How It Works

Arbitrage betting (arbing) involves placing bets on all possible outcomes of an event at odds that guarantee a profit regardless of the result. 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 guarantee a profit on both outcomes.
