Arbitrage Finder
Check if an arbitrage opportunity exists across sportsbooks and calculate optimal stakes.
What is Arbitrage Betting?
Arbitrage betting exploits differences in odds across sportsbooks to guarantee a profit regardless of the outcome. When two books disagree enough on the probabilities, the combined implied probabilities total less than 100%, creating a guaranteed profit margin. You place a calculated stake on each outcome at different books. Arb opportunities are rare and usually small (1-5% profit), but they are risk-free. Most arb situations arise during line movements or in less liquid markets where sportsbooks have differing opinions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is sports arbitrage legal?
Yes. Arbitrage is just exploiting price differences across markets. The legality concerns are between you and the sportsbook (some books will limit accounts that arb consistently).
Will sportsbooks ban me for arbing?
Many will limit your max bet size if they detect arbing patterns. To extend account longevity: avoid round numbers, vary bet sizes, mix in -EV "noise" bets, and don't withdraw immediately.
What's a typical arbitrage profit?
1-3% on most opportunities; 5%+ on rare market mispricings. Most arbs disappear within 30-60 seconds of being found, so speed matters.
How do I find arbitrage opportunities?
A live arb finder tool scans odds across books in real time. Manual hunting is possible but rarely worth the effort - opportunities are too short-lived.
