Surebets at bookmakers—is this arbitrage betting?

Yes, this is one type of arbitrage situation. In general, arbitrage betting is an opportunity to bet at different bookmakers on all possible outcomes. Therefore, the player who placed all these bets will make a profit regardless of the outcome.

The simplest type of "surebet"—with two shoulders, that is, with two opposite outcomes. This type of arbitrage is easier and faster to place because you only have to work with two offers at two different bookmakers. These "surebets" are best suited for beginners. For more advanced users, there are arbitrages from three and four sources.

Arbitrage also includes bets on "middles".
