What is a Betting Arbitrage?

Imagine a tennis match between players: A and B. You have found the bookmaker which gives odds two,05 on Player A and one,90 on Player B. The other bookmaker's odds are respectively one,80 on Player A and two,05 on Player B. You may notice that in the event you bet 100 USD at the first bookmaker on Player A and 100 USD at the second bookmaker on Player B you will gain 205 USD if Player A will win and 205 USD if Player B will win the match. So you had to stake 200 USD and you gain 205 USD - it is five USD bonus.

Sport betting arbitrage (also called a positive bet) is a kind of a bet which gives you the 100% chance of the win independently of who will win the particular sport event.

First you need to check if the bookmakers odds make a positive bet. For doing that you will must find the highest odds on each of the players. Of work these odds are one,72 at the first bookmaker on Player A and two,50 at the second bookmaker on Player B. Now you need to select a sum which you need to have at the finish of the betting. Let it be 100 USD. Now some calculations:

In a actual life you will probably meet a slightly more complicated examples of positive bets. Imagine that there is a match between Player A and Player B again. The first bookmaker gives the odds one,72 on Player A and the odds two,20 on Player B. The other bookmaker have one,55 on player A and two,50 on Player B.

The result is lesser than the number you have picked so the founded odds make a betting arbitrage. This result means that you will must bet a small over 98 USD to have 100 USD.

100/1,72 + 100/2,50 = 98,1395

In the event you would like to know how much you ought to bet at each of the players you need to make some more calculations:

* 100/1,72 = (approx) 58,14 USD on Player A at the first bookmaker.
* 100/2,50 = 40 USD on Player B at the second bookmaker.

After betting in this way you need not to be afraid of the result of the result - you will win  two USD irrespective of that.

Earning funds by using a betting arbitrage is simple - but you need to have some knowledge about it and some experience in using that technique.
