Is it true that free surebets are worse than paid bets?

Surebets cannot be worse or better; they are found by the same scanner tools according to given algorithms.

But, as a general rule, scanners reduce the functionality of free surebet betting compared with paid surebet betting.

For example,

  • Delays in analysis results of 15 minutes or more are quite common. Since many surebets disappear within 5 to 10 minutes after their detection, you will therefore receive alerts for many surebets that no longer exist.
  • Limited rate of return 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 only bet 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 betting program may simply show you a few of its choice.
  • Restrictions on the type of arbitrage betting offered by bookmakers. In the free arbitrage betting search mode, middles and value bets are generally not displayed.
  • Some scanners limit their free versions to just a few sports.
