Arbitrage bets cannot be worse or better; they are found by the same scanning tools according to certain algorithms.
But, as a rule, scanners reduce the functionality of free surebets compared with paid surebets.
For example,
- Delays of 15 minutes or more in scanning results are quite common. Since many forks disappear within 5-10 minutes of detection, you will therefore receive alerts for many forks that no longer exist.
- Limited return rate on arbitrage betting. Surebets displayed for free are generally limited to profit margins of 1% or less. The most profitable surebets are hidden, which means that you can bet only on surebets with a low return on investment.
- Limited number of bookmakers. While paid scanners will show you the odds of all bookmakers for a particular match, a free surebet program might show you only some of its options.
- Restrictions on the type of bookmaker arbitrage. In free arbitrage betting search mode, averages and amounts are usually not displayed.
- Some scanners limit their free versions to a few sports.
