i remember i had this idea when i was a kid, wasn’t able to figure it out until i was in highschool and when i tried to do it looking at only one bookmakers odds i was super disappointed. This has seriously opened back up my curiosity into this subject
This doesn’t almost ever work since the spread between two book’s odds will seldom be large enough to arbitrage profit. This is particularly hard with sports betting since bookies typically are making 3%+ margins, allowing virtually no room to arbitrage.
It most certainly is possible to lose all your money on stocks, although it is rare and usually if you’re making rash/uninformed decisions. There’s always a risk. Great video though.
Funny you bring this up, I once thought I was the smartest sports better with same idea.😂 I never attempted it because I thought there had to be a catch I was missing. Thx for video!
I was doing this back in 2002 from the US where its hard to participate in online gambling, even more-so now. One of the problems I had was getting my money in and out of the betting sites and back into the US. If I lived in a country that was more favorable toward online sport book then I’d still be doing this, it was fun.
If you want a profitable bet but also the risk/variance, then take an arbitrage bet, and flip a coin and bet on team A if lands on Heads, and bet B if lands on tails. The equity is the same as betting on both, but the variance is higher.
A few year on Paddy Power I noticed something weird that I started jumping on, I noticed that when a game went to a penalty shoot out, they would always have one team above evens and one below but when odd line moved you could put money in both teams to win and you were ganratees to make some profit.
But unfortunately they have stopped ever since. Now both teams start below evens. Also, obviously penalty shoot outs a rare, because it’s only in cup competitions. Anyway, I made some money off the houses mistake.
If you want to be even more sharp against bookies I recommend to spend some time to study value bets. Even better than usual arbitrage. House can be beaten in long run when you put money on situations where bookies misprized events same as in arbitrage situations 🙂 Happy to help you folks!
The rules are mostly the same around the world
If you are losing and losing regularly – The bookmakers or Casinos love you, if you are winning and placing certain types of bets on certain handpicked events after a while your data footprint will give you away and they will either ban you or massively restrict your stake that isn’t worth while staying with them.
The end,
Now place your bets, No more bets please.
If all your stakes are to the nearest cent, for e.g. $25.46 then this tells the bookmakers you are using an arbitrage system. Usual punters’ bets are more rounded off, e.g. $25 or $25.50
Bookmakers also know which games are being targeted by arbitrage betting and it is easy to see one playing a majority of those games. The bet number doesn’t matter nearly as much as the games you are playing.
Ahhh. This explains it. The way he said it, it seemed like Ladbrokes banned him simply for winning too often and not because they found out about him doing arbitrage betting.
Damn, congrats! I saw this in my financial management course. You basically discovered a method that is used frequently by financial managers to hedge their funds all by yourself!
There is something that I don’t understand: You always win when you combine different bookies – as explained; but it does not mean that you always win in the same bookie. So, why would a certain bookie ban you?
It’s because he used the same bookie with the $2 round up odds for favourite – given favourite would win most times (and unluckily in his case all the time) he probably had a 100% win streak on his account which looked “odd” to them
Literally thought the same thing 🤣. My issue was trying to figure it out on the same book, not using the strategy with different books. Glad I stumbled on this 💪🏼
This has sadly been made impossible in my country through taxation. On sports betting, we lose quite a lot through taxes, there’s one that’s 5% on all the money that we bet (e.g. if you put 100 dollars on a ticket, you’re actually putting 95 since 5% got cut through that tax) and then, there’s 10% tax on total returns. Making arbitrage betting almost impossible, or at least I have not found a way around it.
If anyone manages to find a solution, please let me know, but I’m not optimistic. I knew I already was living in a ridiciolous country, but didn’t even know this until recently.

There are a ton of arbitrage opportunities, especially with all the online books now offering live odds.

Congratulations, it’s great to see people who can pass the system

For sports like tennis, be sure to be aware of the rules regarding mid-match retirements

Any books you’d recommend on the subject ?
There is something that I don’t understand: You always win when you combine different bookies – as explained; but it does not mean that you always win in the same bookie. So, why would a certain bookie ban you?
my thoughts exactly!
Some may share same data base, some track win rate, some may ban otherwise
It’s because he used the same bookie with the $2 round up odds for favourite – given favourite would win most times (and unluckily in his case all the time) he probably had a 100% win streak on his account which looked “odd” to them
Bookies often know which contests are subject to Arbitrage and will be able to tell who is only betting in those events.
be careful of possible “draws” in a match as well which in the case both bets will go unreturned
Playing game who can’t draw then
Take 1x and V2 in those case and the problem is resolved.
Literally thought the same thing 🤣. My issue was trying to figure it out on the same book, not using the strategy with different books. Glad I stumbled on this 💪🏼
Same here lol
Still, i checked three different bookmakers now and cant seem to find an arbitrage, their numbers are just too similar
I respect you telling us the cons as well 👍🏼
