97Why is the PositiveBet surebet scanner good?

It was the PositiveBet scanner that was the first to publish live surebets. This was a major breakthrough, and for a long time bookmakers could not track surebetters placing bets during the match. And now it is much more difficult to do compared with prematch surebets.

At present, it is not the only service providing information about live surebets - AllBestBets also exists, and periodically other scanners try to enter the market with their offers. But according to the existing pricing policy, PositiveBet's tariff offer is more attractive - a 1-day subscription will cost $ 7.9 - and this is without restrictions on markets and bookmakers. A one-month subscription costs $ 79, which is more than 2 times more profitable than the competitors' offer.

98What are the three best surebet scanners?

There are many scanners: some are being developed, while others are closed. New features and opportunities are emerging, the lists of scanned betting offices are expanding, and the number of sports available for surebet installation and the variety of market selections are increasing.

That is precisely why it is more appropriate to answer this question in the context of the current situation. Therefore, the answer to the question about the top three is relevant only at the time the article was written.

These three include three scanners: AllBestBets, Positivo, and 3Bet. Among those listed, only 3Bet does not have a long and rich history and falls behind the leaders in some significant parameters. However, all of these scanners offer high performance, can work with live surebets, and have reasonable pricing policies and support services.

In addition to these top three, there are still other scanners that are not as strong, all of which are described in detail in our ranking.

99Which surebet scanner is the best?

Based on a comparison of more than 10 factors on our site, a rating of surebet scanners has been compiled. Since our site is multilingual, the ranking differs depending on the users' geolocation. This is primarily due to the fact that most Russian services, if they are translated, are translated only into English. For Spanish-speaking users, for example, this option is not as convenient compared with the availability of sites in Spanish.

Therefore, by choosing the language you need, you can familiarize yourself with the rating and learn the most up-to-date information from it—which one is number one among surebet scanners. At present, in the Russian-speaking segment, the best scanner is AllBestBets.

In order to understand which type of scanner is best for you, you can purchase a subscription for one day—only practice will show which type of money-making tool you will use.

101What are the main characteristics of surebet scanners?

Main characteristics:

  • Scanner speed—the higher the scanning speed, the faster the arbitrage betting situation will be issued and ready.
  • Scanning quality—in other words, the fewer issuance errors, the fewer errors players make.
  • Price—everything is clear, but a low price is not always good. It is important to find a quality-price balance.

It is also important that the scanner handles as many betting-office lines as possible; has a good selection of filters for customization; and has a pleasant, easy-to-use interface.

102What time of day can I bet on surebet outcomes?

It is best to bet at a time that is convenient for you. You should not be distracted by anything, your mood should be balanced, and your Internet connection should be stable. Surebets can appear at any time of day; their existence is associated with the appearance and variation of odds in bookmakers' lines.

If we are talking about live surebets, then there are more of them in the second half of the day, Moscow time; at this time, there are more football matches. The more events there are, the more surebets a scanner can find.

103What are Surebet Scanners?

The Surebet Scanner is a program that analyzes bookmakers' lines and, according to a specific algorithm, searches through a multitude of factors for odds that correspond to the concept of a surebet.   Surebet, or arbitrage bet, is a combination of several bets for the same event, from which one can obtain better profits regardless of the outcome. 

Scanners' user interfaces (their appearance) are very different. For the user's convenience, scan results can generally be ranked using filters such as profit, the lifetime of a surebet, the event start time, and so on.

104Surebet scanner and value bet scanner — are they one and the same service?

A surebet consists of several bets on opposing events. These are the so-called Sure Bets.  Typically, a bet on one of the Sure Bets is also a Value Bet. 

However, a value bet scanner provides information for the selected event only according to the best odds.  A surebet scanner also provides all the necessary information about stakes on Sure Bets and profit generation.

105Why does one need a live surebet scanner?

A live surebet scanner is needed to scan and display live arbitrage betting, i.e. surebets that arise during a game or meeting.

The “life span” or, in other words, the duration of such a surebet is very short: it lasts from a few seconds to several minutes. Therefore, we recommend that only experienced players who have good experience with conventional, normal surebets work with this type of bet.

But the advantages of live surebets are clear—the bookmakers will find it much more difficult to identify and block surebet players when they have to deal with these bets.

106How do I understand which type of surebet scanner is better?

You can take several approaches, and all of them are correct to varying degrees. 

The first approach: Personal experience. Most surebet scanners offer the opportunity to test access to their services for a short time. Typically, this is a 1-day subscription. Its price is affordable, and you get an excellent opportunity to choose the right service.

The second approach: Get information in the Surebet Scanner Rating section. Since our project is multilingual, it also takes regional characteristics into account.  For example, the three best surebet scanners for Russia and for the United Kingdom are different. This is due to the fact that a number of factors are taken into account in the ranking, the main ones being scanning speed and quality, work safety, and prices.

107How can I make searching for surebets profitable?

As in most cases, one must first turn to professionals to search for surebets. It is easier, faster, and more cost-effective to use the services of a surebet scanner, which can be found in the rating on the home page. The majority of scanners are developed by former (although there are some) professional players for arbitrage betting. Who else but them could create software for automating surebets?

The existence of surebet scanners does not mean that a player cannot find surebets themselves. Of course, it is possible. But the scanners analyze lines and odds from several dozen bookmakers—one person cannot process this amount of information; they would have to limit themselves to two, at most three, bookmakers and only a few events.

108Surebets at bookmakers - is this an arbitrage bet?

Yes, this is a type of arbitrage. In general, arbitrage betting is an opportunity to bet with different bookmakers on all possible outcomes. Thus, the player who bet on all events makes a profit regardless of the outcome.

The simplest type of surebet is a surebet with two sure bets, that is, with two opposing events. This type of arbitrage betting is simpler and faster because it is necessary to work with only two bets at two different bookmakers. These surebets suit beginners best. For more advanced users, there are arbitrage bets with three and four opposing events.

 Arbitrage betting also includes middles.
