FAQ

Liquidity in sports betting is an indicator of the speed and ease with which a bet can be placed at the advertised odds without them changing significantly.

High liquidity (for example, an English Premier League match or a Champions League final):

• A huge volume of bettors' money.

• You can place a large bet without "moving" the odds.

• The bookmaker accepts bets quickly and with minimal delays.

• The spread (the gap between the odds for opposing outcomes) is minimal.

Low liquidity (for example, a regional youth tournament):

• Little money in the market.

• Even a medium-sized bet can sharply change the line odds.

• High risk that the bookmaker will reject the bet or recalculate it at worse odds.

• Large spreads between the odds.

Why is liquidity important for a bettor?

• Odds stability: With high liquidity, your bet is accepted at the odds you saw.

• Ability to bet large amounts: For professional players, this is a key factor.

• Reduced risk of cancellation: The bookmaker is less likely to cancel the bet by mistake.

• Reliability indicator: Popular and liquid events are less prone to manipulation.

Liquidity means stability. Betting on highly liquid markets is more predictable and safer in terms of execution. Low-liquidity markets are riskier and more volatile.

"Odds history points" refer to the number of intermediate values that a service records when an odds changes for an event.

To put it simply: odds in a bookmaker's line are not static — they change over time (for example, they might start at 2.00, then rise to 2.10, then drop to 1.95). Instead of showing only the current odds and possibly the starting odds, some services, like SureBet, record several "snapshots" along the way.

How it works in practice:

For example, 5 points — the service shows the current odds plus up to 4 previous changes (or 5 historical values, including the very first one). You see the trajectory of the line movement, but with some gaps.

10 points + starting odds — a more detailed picture: 10 intermediate values plus the very first odds that were set when the line opened. This helps you analyze more precisely how quickly and in which direction the line moved.

Why is this useful for an arbitrage bettor?

1. Assess the risk of a surebet losing. If the odds drop sharply while you are betting on the opposite side, another bookmaker may not have time to adjust.

2. Find "lagging" bookmakers. When the odds have just started changing at one bookmaker but not yet at another — you can get your bet in on time.

3. Understand whether an odds is artificially inflated (a line error) or a natural movement.

Thus, the "number of points" represents the depth of the odds movement history, and the more points you have, the more accurately you can predict how the odds will behave in the near future.
