Middles

Middles: what is it

For example, having taken two bets:

Goals Total Over 1.5 и Goals Total Under 2.5 (let we find a bet with coefficient 2.0 for each outcome), we get the picture as follows:

if there are less than 2 goals in the match, Goals Total Under 2.5 wins;
if there are more than 2 goals, Goals Total Over 1.5 wins;
if there are exactly 2 goals, both bets wins, which significantly increases the profit.

Middles appear on different markets: Goals Total, Corners, Cards, Handicaps, etc. They come quite frequently and give extra chances to make money (or to increase your common profit of surebets).

Why is it easier to work with middles than with surebets? There are several good reasons for this. First, bookmakers are not as actively fighting them as with arbitration situations. And in some varieties, the risks of running into sanctions are minimal. With careful and proper game for years consistently earn. Secondly, in the pre-match income level is not lower than in Live mode, a lot of options are formed even before the event, which can not be said about the surebets, they are much more profitable to put during the match. Third, do not rush, because the "shoulder" exists for a long time, which allows you to comfortably and without errors to issue a coupon. Fourth, there are simply more middles. Fifth, you can find them manually with due skill and in the presence of a list of offices, between which such options often arise rates.

Perhaps not everyone knows what middles are, especially beginners. Let's give them a definition.

Middles – bets on two or more markets of the same event, covering the most likely outcomes. At the same time, it is possible that all bets will be played and the user will receive a significant jackpot.
Unlike incomplete surebets here that the player achieves hit in a certain period of a certain indicator of the match. Most often it is totals and odds. If you manage to get to the desired range, the profit can be up to 150%, and in case of an unfortunate coincidence, the loss will be 1-10%. The advantage over the bookmaker's office is obvious. There are several options for "Windows" in the rates that players actively use. Each variety has features and benefits. Let us consider them in more detail.

Positive middles

In another way they are called convergent and win-win, many even refer to them as varieties of surebets. In some ways, this is true, in positive middles there are signs of both the arbitration situation and the middle. Here it is impossible to lose, at any outcome, the client remains in the black, this is the main advantage of this strategy. To make it clearer, we give a couple of illustrative examples.

There is a football match. At the first bookmaker on under 3,5 is the factor of 1.85, at another bookie on the over 2,5 is given the value 2.3. We insert quotes into any surebet calculator and see that at rates on both options we get a guaranteed income of 2.53%. It remains only to set the bet amount. At odds 1.85 put 555 euro, coefficient 2.3 set 446 euro. Total spent 10000 euro. Now let's calculate the possible developments:

The match scored 4 goals. For example, the score is 2:2. Wins a coefficient 2.3 for the Total Over 2.5. At the output, the gain was 1025, 8 euro (4 460 * 2.3). Net profit 25,8 rubles, taking into account the fact that the first coupon lost.
The match scored 1 goal. For example, the score is 1:0. Wins a bet with coeff. 1.85 to Total Under 3.5. The prize is 1026,7 euro (555 * 1.85). Net profit of 26,7 rubles.
The match scored exactly 3 goals. For example, the score is 2:1. Both coefficients are win, and the Total Over, and the Total Under. The prize will be 2052,5 euro, this amount is obtained from both "shoulders". Net profit 1052, 5 euro, which is equal to more than 100%.

As you can see, the most desirable option for the player is getting into the middle. But even if this does not happen, the user will remain in the black. This is an excellent condition – either win 2-4% or 105%. There is no risk of losing at all.

Another example of a basketball handicap. Two teams meet. The first club handicap +10,5 is the coefficientr of 2.5, second on handicap -5,5 is given the value 2.3. On every "leverage" is done rate, 48 and 52 euro respectively. The further development of the event is similar to the example of football. If you play any of the bets, the player will receive a profit of about 12% in each case. If there is a hit in the middle, the net income will be 224 euro, that is, 120%.

All the above calculations are approximate, the figures are taken for ease of calculation and clear explanation. In fact, the range, the size of the odds and the bet amounts will vary greatly.

Example of earnings

It should be understood that the positive middle is not too common in the lines of bookmakers. Find them – a great success for any player. Even less often it is possible to catch the hit of both "shoulders", but when it happens, the profit is very significant. Consider an example of income in the form of a visual table. Input data: the period of the distance is 15 days; the total Bank is 1000 euro; the amount of bets on one event is 100 euro (50 for each "shoulder"). Conventionally, only 1 event per day is taken.

Day	Bet	Profit	Profit, %
1	1000	20	2
2	1000	10	1
3	1000	35	3.5
4	1000	125	12.5
5	1000	20	2
6	1000	30	3
7	1000	60	6
8	1000	140	14
9	1000	1200	120
10	1000	35	3.5
11	1000	120	12
12	1000	25	2.5
13	1000	45	4.5
14	1000	10	1
15	1000	25	2.5

Pay attention to the 9th day, when we managed to get into the middle and get an income of 120%. It's only happened once in 15 days. But let's calculate how it affected the profits. If you add up the winnings of each day, the result will be a value of 190 euro, the final Bank 1190 euro, profit 11.9%. It seems that a little? But how many people win by betting a flat every day? In addition, do not forget that only one bet per day was made, so it took literally 5 minutes.

If more events were wagered per day, the profit would be more substantial. And getting into the middle every 15 days is a pure Convention designed to show the effectiveness of the system. In practice, there are many more successful sessions. So, if a successful bet is at least 3 times in two weeks, and the working Bank is increased to 10 000 euro, then in the end you can claim to win up to 15 000 euro per turnover. And these are quite real figures, any person can achieve them.

It is recommended to use a conventional surebets calculator to equalize the income on both "shoulders". Thus, the profit will be uniform at a distance.

Disadvantages of middles

However, not without a fly in the ointment, as in any other area. There is a drawback in a positive middle, and it's pretty significant – the bookies see them as a surebet and apply appropriate sanctions: blocked the account, reduce the highs, satisfied with the scrutiny, restrict deposits and withdrawals. They can be understood, because the player actually risks nothing, while the office is obliged to pay the winnings.

The second drawback follows from the first. Bokkmakers often make a return on the rate on the middle, referring to the fact that the coefficient was placed incorrectly. And this happens at a time when the user successfully falls into the desired range. Yes, financial loss is will not, after all, plays the second "shoulder", but the mood is too spoiled, after all, breaks down the potential jackpot size of up to 150% of the rate. Formally, in such situations, the bookmaker is right, because the presence of a positive middle automatically means that one of the quotations is clearly overstated and the right of the administration to cancel it.

The way to minimize the risks is the same as in the case of surebets. It is necessary to put round sums, not to be impudent, from time to time to make usual bets and the like.

Finding Middles – Where and How to

It is not difficult to find a middle. Most surebet scanners may help with it, while some of them even have sections dedicated to finding middles.

Working with middles is as easy as surebet routine: detect and bet.

Negative middles

They are also called dissimilar, hence it is clear that there may be an option when the user goes into minus. Such middles are much more common than positive ones, and most experienced players prefer to work with them, since their profit is not much less, and the risks are reduced many times. To make it clearer, let's look at the negative middles in more detail.

To begin with, let's give a couple of illustrative examples. Take a hockey match. On handicap the favorite of -2.5 is the coefficicent of 1.98, on a positive handicap outsider +4,5 given a value of 1.76. in total, the player made bets on 100 euro, 47 and 53 euro, respectively. The amounts are distributed in a conventional surebet calculator to equalize the losses in case of defeat. Now calculate the possible options:

Favorite won a major victory with a difference of 5 or more goals. Plays only rate on 47 euro for coefficient 1.98, that brings a loss in 7 euro. So the gain 93 euro (100 – 93 = 7). That is, 7% minus.
The outsider did not lose or lost with a difference of no more than 2 goals. Similar to the first option, the loss will be 7 euro, which is equal to 7%.
Favorite won with a difference of 3 or 4 goals. Play both bets, that is, there was a hit in the middle. The total profit will be 186 euro, which is equal to 86%.

The latter option is the most preferred, as it brings a significant jackpot. The advantage is obvious, because in case of loss, the loss will be only 7%, and in a successful scenario, the profit is 86%. And let not confuse the two possible scenarios with losses, 7% is a very small value, even if it will be one of the 5 middles, the profit will be significant. In addition, it is necessary to analyze the events and choose the most passable outcomes. In the above example, the player assumed the victory of the favorite with a difference of no more than 4 goals, such a bet should take place more often than one of the 5.

Consider the second example, this time the basketball total. It is here that negative middle are most often used. The essence, in principle, is the same as in the previous example. There are competitions of two teams. In total more than 170,5 in the same bookmaker are given a coefficient of 1.8, another on under 180,5 also is the coeff. of 1.8. On each "shoulder" is a bet of 50 euro. Further, the following scenarios are possible:

The total is 165	Win a bet on Total Under 180.5. Loss of 10%, as the gain of 90 euro.
The total is 190	Win a bet on Total Over 170.5. A loss of 10%, the payout is 90 euro.
Total is 175	Hit the middle. Win 180 euro, that is, 80%.

The most preferred option is getting into the range between 170 and 180 points. Provided that the event is analyzed, and the coefficients are clearly overestimated, profit at a distance is guaranteed.

Negative middles can be found almost between any offices, it is important to choose the events with the most suitable coefficients that guarantee an advantage over the bookmaker.

Example of earnings

The question is very vague, it is impossible to give a definite answer. It all depends on the size of the betting bank, the experience of the player, the frequency of entering the middle and many other factors. One thing is clear, with proper skill and strategy will definitely make a profit at a distance, and it is with minimal risk. For clarity, consider the example. Given a Bank of 5000 euro, the period of working 15 days, one event is spent a total of 200 euro, that is, 100 euro for one outcome. We issue only one coupon per day. Further calculations in the table.

Day	Bet	Profit	Win
1	200	-17	180
2	200	-10	190
3	200	-5	195
4	200	-20	188
5	200	-20	190
6	200	-15	185
7	200	-10	180
8	200	-10	190
9	200	-11	179
10	200	160	360

Only on day 10, the player managed to get into the middle, but despite this, it remained in positive territory for 42 euro. The amount, of course, not so much what a big, but the Bank was not "merged", but, on the contrary, rose. No strategy is able to show such a result that after 9 losses in a row to display the user in a plus. At the same time putting actually equal amounts of bets on each iteration.

It should be understood that we showed only a very unsuccessful session, when the player suffered 10 consecutive failures, and still was in the black, albeit in a small. The example demonstrates how successful this strategy is with the right approach and the right choice of coefficients. If you make a real effort, make a few bets a day and win at least one coupon out of 5, then at a distance the profit will be very noticeable.

As practice shows, to get into the middle even a few times a day, it is quite possible. Therefore, a series of losses are easily repulsed by one successful coupon.

Extra points

Negative middles are good because they are much more common than other varieties. At any time of the day between several bookmakers really find hundreds of middles and make bets on them, and it is not necessary to use special services, with skill and experience can be found manually, it would be time and desire. Although, of course, using scanners to do it much easier and faster. Another positive point – the bookmaker is not so often apply sanctions to users who use such a strategy, firstly, there is still a risk of losing, and secondly, such rates are not so obvious, since the coefficients are not very high.

However, you should not be impudent either. If you consistently get a plus and constantly play basketball totals, the meaning of the strategy will be clear to any bookiie. It is better to raise the betting bank slowly but surely, do not forget to make regular bets, make express bets from time to time. In such circumstances, the account is unlikely to be blocked. You also need to understand that the analysis has not been canceled, in the positive middles is not necessary to understand the discipline, there is no loss is impossible. In the case of negative middles need to disassemble the event, because if, for example, the favorite will not be leading strikers, so it is highly likely will not be able to break the handicap.

If the potential loss of the negative middle is more than 10%, this is a very risky rate. It is desirable to select outcomes in which the risks are no more than 5%.

Polish middles

Extremely rare variant of middles is not popular among players. Many, even experienced clients of bookmakers, have not heard about them. However, this option has the right to exist, and it can also bring a stable income in the future. Immediately it should be said that the name of the term has nothing to do with Poland, it is a reference to military time. But the designation catchy and memorable.

In contrast to the usual middles, in the Polish version it is necessary that a certain scenario does not happen. That is, you do not need to get into one of the ranges. To make it clearer, as usual, we give a couple of examples. So, there's a football game. The user makes out 2 coupons, the first on a plus handicap +0,25 of one of team, the second on a pure victory of other. The coefficients of 2.2 and 2.1 respectively. On each "arm" stands for 100. Further there can be the following options of outcomes:

The team with a plus handicap won with any score. The prize will be 100 * 2.2 = 220 euro. Net profit is 20 euro.
The second team won a clear victory. Plays rate 100 * 2.3 = 230 euro. Clean out 10 euro.
The match ends in a draw. Bet on a positive handicap 0,25 plays half. In end is obtained 50 * 2.2 = 11 euro. 50 euro return. 110 + 50 = 160 euro. A net loss of 40 euro.

As you can see, the third option is the most unprofitable, it brought 20% minus. This figure can be reduced if you use a conventional surebet calculator and put different amounts of bets on each outcome. Some players object that it is easier to put 200 euro on the market "there will be no draw" at a coefficient 1.3, the prize will be 60 euro. But they do not take into account the fact that in case of a draw all 200 euro will be lost, and in the Polish middles only 40 euro. The advantage here is obvious.

Another example. The same football game, but now take other odds. Two coupons of 100 euro each are issued. The chalk is a bet on the handicap -0.75 per, for the outsider is taken to be x2, that is, he won't lose. The coefficients of 2.4 to 2.5. Further, the following options are possible:

The outsider didn't lose. The prize was 100 * 2.5 = 250 euro. 50 euro net.
Favorite won with a difference of more than 1 ball. The prize was 1000 * 2.4 = 2 400 rubles. 400 rubles net.
Favorite won with a difference of exactly 1 ball. Means, 500 * 2.4 = 1 200 rubles, 1 200 + 500 = 1 700 rubles. Loss of 300 rubles, or 15%.

Here, too, the third option is not the most profitable, but still the losses are not so great. They really beat following a good session.

Once again, the main goal here is not to get into any result of the match. Therefore, it is important to analyze it and understand that a negative outcome is unlikely to happen.

Are Polish middles profitable

Immediately it is necessary to identify, it is impossible to give an accurate answer, it is also difficult to give specific calculations with examples. To a greater extent, the profit depends on the literacy and experience of the player. If he will be able to correctly exclude the unlikely outcome of a sports match at least once 3 times, it will definitely be a plus at a distance. Therefore, the Polish middles are recommended only to professional players, which is good deal of analysis.

This variant of the middles has been little studied and practically not tested, it will not be possible to find 100% reliable information. There are only some reviews, some praise the system, others claim that they "merged" the Bank under this system. In any case, each player can test the strategy and make sure it is effective or useless. If you do not want to risk in vain, you can do it on paper.

Bookmakers can apply sanctions for bets on the Polish middles, as one of the coefficients will be exactly overvalued.

Where can I find the Polish middles

This is one of the main issues that arises in many players, as in the well-known scanners can not see the Polish middles. Only two services find them, OddStorm and ArbMate.

Scanners allow you to filter middles by risk, profitability, sports and other parameters. The only thing that deters players from Oddstorm is the high prices for the services of the site. Even a one-day subscription will cost 7 euros, and for six months you will have to pay almost 800 euros. Hardly anyone would agree to part with such sums for the sake of middles. In Arbmate much more affordable pricing.

In ODDStorm and ArbMate Polish middles are available on all tariff plans, you do not need to pay them separately.

In any sports there are middles

Middles in basketball

Strategy "middles" appeared just in basketball, and then was moved to other areas. It usually uses totals, the player's goal – to get into a certain period of the total value of points in the match. For example, between 170.5 and 180.5. The advantage is that the spread of values is very large and in different bookmakers is always different from each other. This allows you to choose the most favorable coefficients and suitable middles that will bring a good profit on the result. By connecting the analysis, it is possible with a high probability to calculate the most passable interval of the total.

Another option with the odds. Here, too, the spread is large, plus there is an opportunity to buy the necessary odds. For example, in one bookie take of -7.5 and the other with +3.5 for the coefficients of 1.8 and 1.76. Moreover, it is possible to use not two bookmakers, but only one, but it will be necessary to follow the match in Live mode. As soon as the coefficient rises to the desired value, or when the required rate appears in the line, you should make a bet. Thus, it is not necessary to be sprayed on a set of bookies.

Basketball rightfully occupies a leading place in the middle strategy. It is used by most experienced players.

Middles in soccer

Naturally, football ranks second among the disciplines, as in general it is the most popular sport in the world. There are several options for using the strategy:

Totals. Standard way. For example, Total Under 2,5 and Total Over 1,5 are taken. If exactly 2 goals are scored, the profit will be more than 100%. But other results will not bring significant losses.
Odds. As in the case of basketball, taken minus and plus handicap on both teams. For example, the first -2.5, the second + 1.5. Although this option is not popular, due to the narrow range of handicaps.
Double chance and handicap. The chalk is taken minus handicap, for example, of -1.5, while the underdog double chance (x2).
Draw and odd. The system is extremely risky, it is recommended to play it very carefully. The essence is obvious: it is necessary to issue two coupons for odd and draw one match. The loss comes if the final total is even.
Exotic options. For example, a certain player will score and the team's victory, the second bet on the total is less than 0.5 of the same player. If the athlete scores, but the club loses, the bet will be unsuccessful.

In football, quite a lot of options for the preparation of middles. You can even invent your own schemes using different markets.

Middles in tennis

Tennis is also actively used by players to compile middle. The most common option is a handicap for games, it can be called analogs of basketball handicaps. A simple example: the first player is given +4,5, the second of -2.5. The victory will come if the difference in the score is 3-4 games per favorite. Totals on draws and sets and other statistical indicators can also be applied.

Hockey and middles

As for hockey, here, by analogy with football, the same outcomes and coefficients are taken. The difference is that the hockey match is given a much wider range of totals, which allows for a more flexible system of middles. Similarly, the odds and double chance.

Other sports and middles

Middles are a very flexible system. It is not necessary to follow only those recommendations that are given in the network. It is possible and necessary to create own schemes, and it is not necessary to be limited to 3-4 disciplines, there are also other sports, excellent suitable under tactics. Today you can find strategies based on the middles for the following competitions:

handball;
baseball;
bandy;
volleyball;
water polo;
ski race;
biathlon;
australian football;
cricket.

And much more. The main thing – do not be afraid of experiments and look for developments that will help to overcome the bookmakers and start earning steadily.

In the middles necessarily tied to totalem, the odds and double chance. In many bookmakers there are many alternative markets that will create a middle.

Search the middles by yourself

Unlike the surebetts, middles are easier to search in manual mode. With the services will, of course, much faster, but not everyone can afford to buy a subscription to them, or fundamentally do not want to do it. It should be noted that such a task can only be done by experienced players, since it is impossible to call absolutely all bets a middle. At a minimum, they must meet the following criteria:

In case of entering the "window", the profit should be greater than 100%. It is optimal to adhere to the values of 100-120%.
Too profitable win-win middles should be ignored, despite the temptation to hit the jackpot. With a high probability, one of the bookmakers will calculate a coupon with a return.
At any outcome of the event, one bet must take place. If this does not happen, then the user has taken an incomplete arb, where profit and expectation are quite different.
The loss from the non-wager must not exceed 10%. Otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve a positive outcome at a distance. Yes, scanners often show middles with a possible loss of up to 30%, but only in the free version, it is not recommended to use them.

These are the main characteristics of profitable middle. If there is no at least one point, the risk of losing will be great and betting on the distance will be of little use.

Before you start to manually search for arbs, the player must make sure that he can "on the eye" to recognize the desired outcomes and coefficients. Constantly open the calculator and use it is extremely inconvenient and tedious.

Preparation

Impatient and inexperienced players will think that this section is superfluous, but the tips in it should not be neglected. Plus a lot of time should be given to training. It's like before diving into cold water, if you do the procedure immediately, seizures and other unpleasant consequences are inevitable. In search of middles to the same thing – without training can wait for a disappointment and a reluctance to do this.

First of all, it is necessary to put in front of a financial plan. How much you plan to earn per day, per week, per month or any other period of time. Ignore the target is. If it is not, the player will not be able to stop in time, he will sit for days and hours at the computer, increasing the probability of losing, causing harm to health and reducing concentration. Or Vice versa, too low income kills the meaning of such work. There should always be a financial plan, when reaching what amount you need to stop and withdraw money. Or at what losses it is necessary to make a break.

Further it is necessary to decide in what sports the necessary rates will be sought out. First of all, you should start from what discipline you understand best. Someone loves football, someone can not live without hockey, and the other supporter of baseball. If you do not understand what you are betting on, you should forget about the positive result. A person should thoroughly understand the chosen sport, know the strength of teams, championships, about what coefficients will be put by bookmakers. Based on this, it is much easier to find the necessary quotes.

It is equally important to determine the bookmakers, which will be searched. A list with the best bookmakers we provide in this article. Now just mention a few important points when choosing a place. First, it is necessary to give preference only to well-known and well - established bookies. If you take a little-known bookmaker and those who have earned a lot of negative reviews, then there is a great risk not to see your Deposit at all. The bookmaker must be authoritative, with a good level of coefficients.

The number of bookmakers with which to work is recommended to designate at the level of 2-3, no more. This is the largest number for comfortable work. If you take 5-6 operators, you will have to spray, and the human body is simply not configured, fatigue and loss of attention will come very quickly. Only in the most unsuccessful sessions, when the two bookies can not find suitable options, it is necessary to connect other operators.

At the end there are already technical preparations. If there are no accounts in the selected BM, the registration takes place in them. Next, make a Deposit, the amount must be sufficient, must exceed the sizes of the bets at least 5 times. The time of work is indicated, matches are selected in advance. Plus other preparatory activities.

To prepare should pay great attention, 50% success depends on it. If you thoughtlessly try to play in the middles, nothing really will not work.

Middle search algorithm

Nothing unusual here will not prompt. Let's just define the search process. So, the preparatory activities are over, the player sit down at the computer. Then the whole procedure fit in a few sentences. First go to bookmakers web site, search matches are then reviewed factors and markets that have the potential to contain middles. When you find the right offers, coupons are quickly issued in both bookmakers, as the arbs can disappear at any time. Well, at the end of the wait and cheer to the match ended with the desired result, and there was a hit in the desired range.

After playing the first iteration, or in parallel with it is the second, third bet. That is, the process goes in a circle. The game loop continues until, until it reaches a predetermined profit, or due to basic tiredness. It should be noted that the process looks beautiful and effective only in words, in fact it is quite time-consuming and tedious work that requires maximum concentration. Sometimes even hours of searching may not bring the desired result, and the day generally end without profit, such moments need to be ready for 100%.

Tips for manually middles searching

Let's give some tips to help you work more effectively.

If the goal is reached and the profit is obtained, planned for one day, you should stop. Yes, there may be potential arbs in the line, and fatigue hasn't even come yet. However, many players "burn out" for greed. On the other day events, too, will full of the.
Sometimes the day ends in general unproductive, and the Bank goes into the red. This is a normal working moment. It is necessary to understand that the income from the following days more than compensate for all losses. In any case, no need to try to quickly win.
If there was fatigue, the head became cast iron, and eyes stick together, it is better to stop and have a rest. Regardless of whether the profit is made or not. It is difficult to think of a shorter way to "drain" than the elementary fatigue.
It is useful to have before your eyes a visual table with coefficients that shows what will be the size of the middle and how much should be put. This will help to avoid long calculations on the calculator and in mind.
First of all, monitor the largest and most popular markets like total, odds, double chances. It is here that most often there are "middles". You can also pay attention to the statistics of the match, but not too carried away, as the bookmaker will quickly calculate what to what and can apply sanctions.
It's possible to bet on major events and popular games. Yes, there are few arbs but the bookmaker will never make claims. But this does not mean that secondary events should be ignored. Rather, it is necessary to strike a balance.
If you do not find a middle in two bookie, you can view the line of another one, but only in the same event. So it will be more productive, because the coefficients are already known.
Sometimes you can see how the coefficients are moving in one direction, and very actively. This is the signal to prepare to wager at the most favorable prices.

Finally, the most important thing is patience and hard work. Without them, manually search for middles does not make sense. After all, this activity is very monotonous and tedious, with its own characteristics and difficulties.

In the mode to look for middles manually practically does not make sense. The coefficients change too quickly to have time to issue coupons and make calculations. You can only do it during breaks matches, but it will be too hard.

Middles scanners

We believe that it is best to bet on middles with the help of specialized services, it took time when people were engaged in manual search, now there are scanners that fully automate the process. With their help, firstly, you do not need to strain and look for the right coefficients, the system will find the events. Secondly, the necessary calculations are made automatically, including the amount of bets. Third, the number of discovered middles is that more than enough for the design of hundreds of coupons, choose any offer you like.

All that is required from the user – to pay a certain tariff plan of the scanner and without limited view the desired outcomes and coefficients. Well, respectively, to conduct a profitable game against bookmakers. The market today has a huge number of all kinds of services, vying to offer their services. Some are paid, others are free, there are additional functionality, there are simple options, plus foreign and domestic. Which one to choose? In this article we will focus on the individual brands that are considered the best, as well as understand the General principles of scanners.

There are no separate services that work exclusively with middles. Usually the middles are in addition to surebets scanners.

How it works

Let's give a little information about the principle of operation of middles scanners and how it works. In purely technical terms, there is nothing complicated or extraordinary, the robot simply performs the same work as a man by yourself. But it does it hundreds of times faster and more efficiently. The whole algorithm can be described in 3 steps:

A special program examines the line of several dozen bookmakers in sports and markets. It remembers all suggested values.
All collected coefficients are compared for detection of middle. A special formula is used for this purpose.
Found suitable events are displayed on the site in the table. Here the customers can view the information and make bets.

That's basically the whole algorithm that allows you to effectively find arbs and actively use them. A person only needs to part with a certain amount of money to pay for the subscription and start earning steadily.

There are middles in the live mode , they are more profitable and numerous, but have time to issue coupons on them – a whole science. Owning it comes with experience.

The begin of work and functionality of the scanners

With the beginning of work, no one should have problems. Specialized sites are friendly to all customers, allowing you to register even a few accounts at the same time. The registration procedure itself is not complicated, usually it is enough for the user to specify a login, password and e-mail, after which an account will be created. In very rare cases, first name, last name and other personal information may be required. Then it remains to make payment in any convenient way and start viewing options for betting on the middles.

As for the functionality of scanners, it is virtually the same everywhere, the differences are insignificant, so it makes no sense to describe. Consider the main features that provide specialized services, for example Surebet.

Going to the site "Surebet", the user will see several tabs in the main menu, among them there are "Middle". This is where the middles we need are hiding. They are issued in the form of a regular table with events, as well as surebets. In the middle is the name of the teams, sport, championship, time and start date. Slightly to the left of the bookmakers, between which there was a favorable situation, slightly to the right the type of bet and the coefficient on each "shoulder". In the very first tab on the left actually the technical information about the middle, here are different numbers, they indicate the following information:

Mathematical expectation. That is, what kind of income is expected on average, if you put all the time on the presented coefficient.
Estimated probability of entering the middle. Expressed as a percentage.
Lose on miss. Also given as a percentage.
Win when hit in the middle. A percentage of the profits from the wagers.

The abundance of numbers should not frighten, if you move the mouse cursor to any number, a hint will pop up. In addition, the site itself has training materials, which explains each element in detail and with examples. This design is found in almost every scanner, the differences will be minor.

Each event has a special icon with the image of the calculator, clicking on it, you can open the middle calculator and make the necessary calculations.

The best scanners for middles

Be sure to mention the specialized services that seach middles. Once again, any scanners configured exclusively for the "middles" does not exist, they are mainly designed for surebets, but their quality of work is not affected.

BetBurger

BetBurger needs no introduction, it is known to almost every player who at least once in his life tried to put on arbitration situations in sports. The project is considered to be the best in the domestic market, and it is quite an objective judgment. Scanned bookmakers more than 100, covers more than 20 types of sports, the scan time Live only 3 seconds in permathe 15 seconds. In addition, there are plenty of additional tools and filters for easy operation. Among the disadvantages is the high cost of subscription, it is not affordable for many users.

ArbMate

ArbMate is new service, which began work in 2018. Despite being "young", he managed to acquire many fans. The project was the first in the market to abandon the standard tariff scale. The client pays for five major bookmakers: Pinnacle, WilliamHill, Sbobet, BWin, Bet365. Plus, he can choose other places, but only those that he really needed. Thus, a person pays for what he really uses, unnecessary operators are excluded. In addition, the scanner boasts high speed, a variety of tools, 60 supported institutions.

OddStorm

A good scanner is a fast scanner. This statement is exactly suited to OddStorm, it is considered the best in speed, in a fraction of a second the service finds middles and provides them to users. The project is aimed at professionals with an impressive game bank, in its arsenal a lot of useful tools and additional features. Depressing only the high cost of subscribing to the services of the site, even simple tariff plans are here hundreds of euros, such amounts are beyond the power of ordinary players.

Other services

Above we have listed some of the best projects that are used by 90% of players to search for middles. Of course, such resources are much more, there are even free options, but to register in them and give money is not recommended due to obvious shortcomings. And yet there are people who still prefer other projects, here is a short list of the most popular:

Scanbets;
Betburger;
TX Odds;
Infobet;
WettPortal;
Betinger;
DevilBets;

It is impossible to state unequivocally that these services are bad and fraudulent. After all, they perform their main tasks, but have obvious disadvantages, for example: excessively high price, reduced functionality, a lot of errors in the issuance, poor navigation and the like. Of course, you can use their services, but only at your own risk.

Some of the scanners may not be available at all because they have ceased to exist.

Mathematical expectation in the middles

Here are some calculations of the expected value of the middle. Immediately it is necessary to mention that this figure is already in all scanners, it is calculated automatically, besides you can always use special calculators. However, the ability to independently calculate the probability will not be superfluous for anyone.

For example, consider the classic ratios of 1.9 for 1.9 for two of the outcome of the match. For example, a player took the total of a basketball game in one bookmaker as TM 180.5, in another - TB 170.5. Put on each market for 50 euro. Obviously, one of the bets will play. First of all, we translate the quotes into standard probability percentages and calculate the chances of getting into the middle:

100 : 1.9 = 52.63%.
100 : 1,4 = 52,63%.
(52,63 + 52,63) – 100 = 5,26%. That is, in 5.26 cases out of 100 the player will get into the middle, in 94.74 cases he will lose one "shoulder". We consider the expectation of the formula:

(Probability of win * amount won per bet) – (probability of loss * amount lost per bet).
Substitute here our numbers:

(5,26 * 190 ) – (94,74 * 5) = 525,7. This is about 5,257% profitability. That is, every time betting on such a middle, you can count on a profit of 5,257% at a distance.
Such calculations are made in all scanners. It should be understood that the bookmaker's margin is not taken into account here, which will take another couple of percent, as a result, the real figure will be somewhere 2-3%. Plus, do not forget about the variance, which makes its own adjustments. However, under any circumstances, the player can count on income in the long term.

The player can have his own opinion about the odds set by the bookmaker. In this case, the calculation is based on these values.

Main Points of Working with Middles in Sport Betting

at least one bet must win after the middle is closed;
there must be a range covered by both bets.

Why it is worth to bet on middles

We’ll highlight the clear advantages of the middles strategy:

One successful bet can bring 60-100% of the profit. In this case, the potential loss does not exceed 10%. You don’t even have to be a mathematician to understand that the advantage is obvious. The player receives a clear advantage in all respects.
Only one win covers 5-6 unsuccessful bets. In the future, it is enough to guess 20-25% of events to get a significant profit at the exit.
A long series of failures (and it happens with all players) will lead to a small drawdown of the bank. In the previous sections of the article, a series of 9 misses into the middle was shown, but only one winning bet discouraged all costs and allowed us to get a plus. No other strategy can boast of such an indicator.
Middles are formed between dozens of bookmakers, thousands of betting options appear every minute. Including win-win bets. You need to have accounts in only 2-4 bookies in order not to experience a shortage in the necessary events.
Even within the same bookmaker you can really catch a good middle. This is usually done in Live mode, when the coefficients change at a tremendous speed.
Bookmakers are much less likely to block players using the middles strategy. It is a fact.
A large selection of sports disciplines, which can be issued a coupon in the form of stake. Football, basketball, tennis, volleyball, handball and so on.
Revenues in Live and Prematch are practically the same. The only difference is that during the match it is really possible to catch a positive middle with very great benefit.
A wide variety of scanners working with middles. You need to choose any suitable one, pay for your subscription and calmly "raise" the bank.

Also, do not forget that the presence of a profitable middle means that the coefficient of one of the outcomes is clearly overstated. This ensures that the distance will always be a plus.

In a way, betting on middles is a creative approach. You can create your own strategies, combine different options for markets and ratios.

Are there any disadvantages to the middles strategy?

As with any other strategy, there are also some drawbacks in the middles. Denote the most obvious. First of all, it is the need to understand the selected matches and sports. The presence of a middle does not mean that it will pass. It is likely that there are some factors that affected the odds. Sometimes, after analysis, you should refuse the bet, sometimes you can even take non-obvious options if you are sure that they will come. Not everyone is ready to follow sports events, analyze them. In this case, you can use exclusively positive windows, but there is a risk of running into sanctions from bookmakers.

Still, there is a risk of losing and “draining” a substantial part of the bank. Especially if you do not stick to the financial plan and analyze events, betting at random never brought anyone income. There may also be errors in the scanners, before making a bet, you should double-check the data again.

At first, it will be difficult for beginners to understand how the calculations are performed, how the revalued middle and other moments are calculated. Why are some coefficients suitable and others not, plus other points. Such knowledge comes over time, so initially it is worth practicing on a virtual account or risking small amounts.

But be that as it may, the advantages clearly outweigh the disadvantages. The middles definitely deserve the attention of the players.
