Count which option you chose most frequently — then see your result below.

 

🧱 Type 1: The Conservative Analyst

You most frequently chose option а)

 

Profile:
You’re cautious, systematic, and prioritize stability. You enjoy calculations, spreadsheet tracking, and risk avoidance. Likely, you focus on pre-match surebets with reliable bookmakers, targeting minimal margins (1–2%) for steady, stress-free profits.

Your Strategy:

• Pre-match markets (1X2, totals, handicaps)

• Exclusively reputable bookmakers

• Multiple accounts — managed methodically

• Minimal manual work, maximum analysis

• Rigorous tracking (Excel, stats logs)

Tools:

• Scanners: SureBet, BreakingBet

• Tracking: Google Sheets, Trello

Advice:
Expand your horizons — experiment with combo markets (e.g., corners + goals), optimize record-keeping, and scale operations gradually.

 

⚡ Type 2: The Live-Arb Dynamo
 

You most frequently chose option b)

You thrive on adrenaline — speed, action, and real-time decisions are your fuel. Live surebets are your domain. You’re wired to chase 4–10% value on the fly, shrugging off cancellations and limits. You operate fast and aggressively, though not always systematically.

Your Strategy:

• Live arbs (especially tennis, volleyball)

• Aggressive staking, high margins

• Less analysis, more execution

• Offshore bookies (often Asian operators)

• Constant rotation: accounts, IPs, devices

Tools:

• Arb scanners (e.g. BetBurger)

• Mobile proxies, automation scripts

• Risk-heavy overstaking

Advice:

Track your bets and take breaks. Without strict bankroll management, you’ll bleed funds on hidden leaks.

 

Type 3: The Adaptive Practitioner

You most frequently chose option c)

 

You're mood-driven but level-headed. Not a fan of routine, but not reckless either. Your strength is flexibility. You can handle live betting, pre-match betting, and multiple formats. You understand the principles and can switch between approaches easily.

Your Strategy:

• Combined: Live + Pre-match

• Use different bookmakers depending on the task

• Operate with a bankroll from $2,000

• Keep records, but without fanaticism

• Try everything – from arbitrage (forks) to value betting

Tools:

• Several scanners

• Platforms like BreakingBet

• Calculators, CRM systems, chat-bots

Advice:
Build your own system: implement metrics, reporting, and develop a strategic pool of bookmakers.

 

Type 4: The System Arbitrage Engineer

 

 

You most frequently chose option d)

You think like an architect. You love systems, charts, and workflows. You either already have or are building a business around arbitrage opportunities. You minimize manual work, automate routine tasks, and focus on ROI, LTV, and cost structure.

Your Strategy:

• Scaling through team expansion

• Automating arbitrage, monitoring bookmakers

• Working with DEX wallets, crypto withdrawals

• API testing of scanners

• Distributing workload across accounts

Tools:

• BeMob, TDS, proxy managers

• Telegram bots, custom spreadsheets and bots

Focus not only on technology but also on people – your team and processes will become your growth lever.
