FAQ

A value bet is a betting strategy of betting on outcomes undervalued by bookmakers. And if the bookmaker has underestimated them, the odds are higher than corresponds to the probability.  With value bets, the player gains an advantage over bookmakers in the long term, even taking losses into account.

How can you find value bets?

1. Independently. This applies especially to those players who know well what they are betting on, keep their finger on the pulse and know what is happening with their favourite team almost better than the coach.  If one has carefully analysed the lines and odds offered by bookmakers, such a specialist can find value bets.  In fact, bookmaker analysts also sometimes make mistakes when they are trapped by clichés.
2. With services that scan for value bets. Their advantage is that they process a large amount of data from different bookmakers.  First, an average odds value is derived as the arithmetic mean of all proposed odds, and then this value is compared with each bookmaker's odds.    The value that is higher than the average value will be the desired value bet.
3. Look more closely at the surebets.   One of their surebets is exactly the value bet.  The presence of value is the key to the emergence of a surebet. 

As we have already answered above, if one hits the middle, the player profits from both bets, i.e. gets a very good “plus”. In the event of misses, the profit is obtained from only one of the bets. 

A positive middle means that the player profits in any case if the profit is based on only one bet.   In practice, such middles can be very few and narrow, and sometimes it makes no sense to pursue them merely because they are positive.

A negative middle means that when it is missed, the player obtains profit from only one bet, i.e. gets a small minus.  This is done by those who want to make middles wider, thus increasing the probability of profiting from both stakes, thereby offsetting the possible disadvantages.

No. In the classical sense, it is not.  Since arbitrage is the situation in which a player, with 100% certainty, at least does not lose the arbitrage bet, but in most cases makes a good profit.

PolishMiddles make it possible for a unified, albeit unlikely, outcome to occur, which can reduce the player's bankroll.  More about this can be read in the article about PolishMiddle.

Why are we telling you about this on our website?

That is clear - Polish Middles are formed according to the same principles as conventional middles, where several events intersect in different directions, giving the player the opportunity to earn 5 to10 times more (on average, there are distortions) than to lose. 

This procedure, although not absolute in terms of reliability, is potentially very lucrative. And if you know how to look for Polish Middles (we do indeed), you can make good money from them.

Most bookmakers have an extremely negative attitude toward surebets and surebet players. At the slightest suspicion, they can cut limits—for example, set the maximum bet to $1 or block your account completely.

How do bookmakers recognize that they are dealing with a surebet player rather than a conventional player? Fractional bets such as $ 20.58, regular withdrawals of funds from bookmaker accounts, bets on minor events and youth tournaments. Sometimes bookmakers set “traps” with obviously high event odds and add everyone who bet on them to the “black” lists.

In our opinion, your amount should not be less than 500 euros. About 50-70 euros will be spent on paying for a monthly subscription to the Surebet Scanner, while the rest of the bankroll must be deposited into the accounts of the bookmakers where you plan to bet, that is, place surebets. The larger the bankroll, the more you can bet and, consequently, the more profit you can receive.

 If you plan to work with regular surebets, you do not need much time.  You can run the Surebet Scanner in the background and attend to your affairs, and if a surebet that matches the filter appears, set an audio notification (such an opportunity is offered, for example, by AllBestBets and Surebet Scanner).  If you bet on live surebets, you need at least 2-3 hours a day to earn well.

Your result depends on your bankroll and the time you have available.    We recommend working with surebets yielding 4-7%. Less than 4% makes no sense; with more than 7%, the risk of errors in the bookmaker's line increases significantly, with the bet subsequently having to be canceled. With an amount of $ 100, you can receive $ 4 to $7 from a single bet. There are more than 1000 arbitrage bets every day, even in the off-season.

The main thing is not to be distracted from the chosen salary strategy with surebets, not to lose your composure, and not to get carried away. This passion is the main cause of losses in any strategy, including with surebets.

AllBestBets is truly one of the leading surebet scanners. At the moment, it contains 64 bookmakers that give players the opportunity to choose more arbitrage bets.

Competent search algorithms for outcome combinations minimize the probability of errors. 

Flexible pricing allows players to bet even with a very modest budget - the minimum subscription is $ 2.49. 

Scanning of normal surebets and live surebets.

A unique feature of the automatic selection of related odds at other bookmakers - relevant when, while betting on a sure bet, the odds for the other sure bet have decreased.

Integration with the exchange BetFair, which offers AllBestBets users a number of advantages.

The PositiveBet scanner was the first to start providing live surebets. It was a breakthrough: for a long time, bookmakers were unable to track surebet players who bet during matches. And now it is much more complicated compared with ordinary surebets. 

At present, this is not the only service offering information about live surebets—there is also AllBestBets, and other scanners also regularly try to enter the market with their proposals.  But according to the existing pricing policy, PositiveBet offers the most attractive rates —a 1-day subscription costs $ 7,9—without restrictions on markets or bookmakers.  The monthly subscription costs $79, which is more than twice as profitable as those of competitors.

There are many scanners; some are developing, while others are discontinued. There are new features and functions, lists of scanned bookmakers, a growing number of sports for betting, and variability in market selection.

Therefore, the answer to this question is better suited to the current situation. Thus, the answer to the question about the three best scanners is relevant only at the time of writing.

The three best scanners are:  AllBestBets, PositiveBet and 3Bet.  Among these scanners, only 3Bet does not have a long and rich history and lacks some important features compared with the leading pair.  However, all these scanners:  are high-performing, work with live surebets, have reasonable pricing, and a support team.

In addition to these three, there are still strong regular ones; they are described in detail in our ranking.
