FAQ

73How can I make searching for surebets profitable?

As in most cases, you should turn to professionals to find surebets. It will be easier, faster, and more cost-effective to use the services of one of the surebet scanners whose rating is posted on the site's home page. The vast majority of scanners are developed by former (if they can be called that) professional arbitrage betting players. Who else but them could create software for automating the search for surebets?

The presence of fork scanners does not mean that the player cannot find surebets on their own. Of course they can. But the scanners analyze the lines and odds of several dozen bookmakers—a person cannot handle such information; they would have to limit themselves to two, at most three, bookmakers and only a few events.

74Surebets 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".

76Is it possible to download a free surebet scanner?

Yes, it is possible. Most scanners provide an opportunity to familiarize yourself with their work in test mode and place their information on surebets with profitability of up to 1% free of charge on their web pages. But there is hardly any need to talk about serious earnings with that margin.

Surebets with unlimited profitability can be viewed on the website of the free scanner BMBets.com. The main advantage of this resource is that it is free. But, nevertheless, I would not recommend it for income from betting. The scanning speed is low compared with paid scanners and is not sufficient for proper work with surebets. Surebets are visible to a greater number of players than when working with paid resources, which increases the risk of being sanctioned by bookmakers.

77Can I earn money by betting on football surebets?

Yes, it is possible. And if we talk specifically about football, it accounts for the largest share of all arbitrage betting. This is mainly due to the mega-popularity of this sport. After all, football is available to most people. And if we do not play it ourselves, television broadcasts are sufficient to satisfy fans' interest in football.

By visiting the surebet scanner site, which makes surebets of up to 1% freely available, you can easily make sure that there are enough football surebets. And by purchasing a paid surebet subscription, you will have access to many more of them and with greater profitability.

78Can I make money betting on hockey surebets?

Winning in hockey using emerging arbitrage betting situations is no less effective than, for example, in football. The only significant difference between surebets in hockey is seasonality. During the offseason, it is difficult to find hockey games in the first place, especially to detect the appearance of surebets in infrequent hockey games.

At the same time, during the season, which lasts about six months, the number of surebets in hockey increases exponentially. Since bookmakers open the first markets for hockey games and, secondly, there are a large number of events that are difficult to calculate, which are the main cause of surebets appearing.

The conclusion is simple: you can make money on hockey, and during the season it is sometimes even easier to do so than on super-popular football or tennis.

79Can I make money betting on surebets?

Tennis is the second most popular sport in the bookmaker business. Tennis bet margins are generally lower (for the player) than those of less liquid sports. An exception is the matches of famous tennis players, at least one of them. In this case, one of the surebet legs or middles may be overvalued, giving the player broad opportunities to play on this bias and win.

It is impossible to go into an analysis of the causes of surebets appearing, but it is sufficient to note that when there are a large number of tennis matches, especially if there are Grand Slam tournament matches, the probability of good bets appearing increases dramatically, which should be used by a professional betting player.

It is even possible to make money in tennis.

80Can I make money betting on basketball?

Basketball has one very important characteristic: it is played almost all year round and is popular in nearly every part of the world: it is extremely popular in North America, and very popular in Europe and Asia. Australia, South America and Africa are somewhat lower on this parameter.

Wide geographical distribution offers professional players a pleasant bonus in the form of almost all-day work with safe basketball bets: events take place in the evening, in the morning, in the afternoon and at night.

Earnings in basketball with surebets and any other arbitrage situation are entirely real, and we do not know of any case in which successful players were excluded from the search for basketball surebets.

81Are middle bets and surebets the same?

No, they are different types of arbitrage. The surebet strategy means that a player bets with different bookmakers and receives a profit.

For example, the bets for a Zenit vs. CSKA football match according to Total Goals are as follows:

  • The first bookmaker offers over 2,5 total goals at odds of 1,91.
  • The second bookmaker offers under 2,5 total goals at odds of 2,25.

Regardless of the outcome of the game, the player will receive a profit of 3,3 %.

A middle betting strategy offers the opportunity to win both bets at the same time. Each middle has a certain width.

For example, the bets for a Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns match are as follows:

  • The first bookmaker offers over 159,5 total goals at odds of 1,96.
  • The second bookmaker offers under 161,5 total goals at odds of 1,96.

The width of the middle is 2 points; that is, with a total of 160 and 161 goals, the player betting on the middle wins both bets. In any other case, the player will receive a profit from one of the bets, with 2% less the bankroll amount.

82Do biathlon surebets exist in nature?

Despite the sometimes exciting events unfolding in the World Cup races, biathlon still cannot overlook the popularity of sports such as football, hockey and basketball. Bets on biathlon are not available at every large and famous bookmaker. And without a variety of options, there can be no surebets.

Therefore, the answer to your question is that biathlon surebets do exist, but they are isolated. It is impossible to work with them under these conditions.

83Which sports are most suitable for arbitrage situations?

According to statistics, football is the most popular sport in Europe. The largest number of bets is accepted for this type of sport. For the best games, the number of open markets (markets) can exceed 200. It is the broad representation at different bookmakers' offices that makes it possible for arbitrage to form in sports.

If we are talking about live surebets, they are formed more often in those sports in which both teams score many points. First of all, this is basketball. To a lesser extent, it is tennis and volleyball.

84Which sports are best for betting?

For arbitrage betting or surebets, football, hockey, and basketball are the most suitable. The list of some events in the football world sometimes exceeds 200 markets, which means that the probability of evaluating them in different ways is much higher than, for example, in water polo. It is in the different evaluation by betting centers of the possibility of an event occurring that different odds are embodied, and the condition for an arbitrage situation to arise is found.

Our advice: in your surebets, do not rely on your favorite sport or team, but on factors such as the amount of profit and the speed of turnover of your bets (ROI).
