PositiveBet is an arbitrage betting scanner covering both prematch and live surebets. The service also includes tools for finding value bets, making it useful for bettors who combine arbitrage with value betting.

PositiveBet was developed in 2013 and, as of today, has taken the leading position in its market niche.  The scanner analyses bets at the largest and most popular bookmakers in live mode. 

There is an opportunity to test the scanner for free. This means that all surebets with a winning rate of less than 1% are displayed in a freely available form. The service works in an online format. It searches for data with a high speed rate, which makes it possible to process surebets that are active for about 1 minute.  In some cases, one can make a bet in 15-25 seconds.

Registration on the official website of the scanner is extremely easy: you only need to enter the user name, e-mail, password and a verification code. In addition, the data form can only be sent if you have accepted the terms of use. They are publicly available on the website and contain all information on the rules of service usage as well as the terms of settlement payments. Please read them before using the service.

Sports

The scanner works with Surebets in all popular sports:  football, volleyball, tennis, basketball, hockey.

It should be noted that the interests of all players are taken into account: not only those who work with multiple surebets with low and average margin (more than a hundred active surebets in the calmest times), but also those who deal with low liquid sports like volleyball.

Basic functions of the scanner

Live surebets: Over the years, the PositiveBet scanner has become a benchmark for services working with live surebets. This scanner was the first to operate normally, without errors, and really fast. We have to thank its developers for their work: the quality of the scanning, advanced functions and the speed become better and better, and the service is developing.

The scanner offers numerous possibilities of bet filtering, which help to choose bets according to the required parameters very quickly, in one to two clicks.

In order to sift out so-called “garbage bets”, experienced players recommend to set the action time of 20 seconds and above for surebets or middles.

Middles: this is another scanner function that, unlike the surebets search, had not been implemented in early versions of the project. In this case, addition of scanning of both positive and negative middles greatly enhanced profit opportunities for clients of the service. As a convenient feature, the scanner immediately displays the percentage of loss in case of missing the middle for negative middles.

A nice bonus is that PositiveBet does not fraction its services unlike some competitors, and that the subscription provides the access to the fullest range of features, regardless of whether the player is dealing with middles or surebets.

Bookmakers and markets offered by the service

The selection of bookmakers is also adequate for professional betting: 

  • Williamhill / Unibet / Titanbet / MarathonBet / Fonbet / Olimp / PariMatch / Pinnacle / 1XBet / Leon / 10Bet / 888Sport.

As you can see, the service includes the most popular bookmakers on the betting market. Only a couple of important bookmakers are missing, which are Bet365 and Ladbrokes.

PositiveBet mostly shows the general results:  total goals and handicaps. The selection for football includes corners betting.

Convenient operation in different languages

The scanner analyses a sufficiently large number of bookmakers on the market. The website supports Russian and English. There is also an English-speaking support team. You can select the following currencies in the settings:

  • USD / EUR / PLZ / GBP

Although currencies play a subordinate role on the online scanner, they are only needed for the best use of the integrated calculator to increase the speed of the profit calculation for each bet. So, if you do not find your currency in the settings, it does not matter. You can calculate in USD and bet in any currency.

User interface and usability of the PositiveBet website

The scanner is implemented in an online version with a browser access, so it is convenient to use it with any device, including Android and iOS devices. There is also a mobile version of the website.  Upon payment for the subscription, you are given access to the selection of surebets with more than 1% yield. The necessary functions for the players are available at Middles and Live Surebets sections.  The settings provide the following selection filters:

  • bookmakers of interest;
  • surebets with yield of up to 10%.
  • surebet time;
  • bet type (outcome, total, handicap, corners, card bets, etc.)
  • possibility to bet in a half time;
  • currencies required for the surebet calculator.

As a convenient feature, you can enable surebet updating: in this mode you will feel more confident during the game. The section "Live Surebets" differs from "Middles" only in that it contains two additional indicators to the additional profit column: 

  • loss at error;
  • profit at hitting the middle.

Additional features and software

PositiveBet has an extension of the same name, which helps to bet more quickly and easier, transferring only the bet and the amount into a special voucher on the website of the selected bookmaker. 

The plugin does not work with all bookmakers, but with the overwhelming majority of them.  In addition to simplifying the process of betting, it also masks the surebet player, imitating transitions from the bookmaker's main page to Live Bets sections and the like. 

This is a very important feature as many bookmakers try to identify surebet players, and it is undesirable to go directly from the scanner website to the website of the bookmaker.

The extension is developed for the three most popular browsers:  Chrome, Opera and Mozilla Firefox.

Of course, the Surebet Calculator is integrated in the extension. Its features include simple and intuitive interface, which can be also said regarding the whole website:  instead of complexity and overabundance of information, its design focuses on functionality.  The calculator works fast, has a quick currency change feature for each of the surebet arms and provides capability to work with accounts in different currencies and with different bookmakers.

Another extension, PositiveLink, can hide your IP address and makes it possible to browse surebets even for players with restricted access to websites of some bookmakers.

Pros and cons of PositiveBet surebet scanner

Pros

  • Low subscription cost.
  • High speed of bet analysis.
  • Positive and negative middles.
  • Detailed bet filter.
  • Handy extensions for surebets.
  • A wide range of payment systems.

Cons:

  • Relatively small number of scanned bookmakers.
  • The events cannot be sorted by sports or a specific event.
  • A small number of additional features and services,  Although in the case of PositiveBet, this element can be considered an advantage, as the ease of use comes first for this service.

PositiveBet scanner reviews

Most user reviews of this scanner are positive with regard to the expected result. Users looking for live surebets with leading bookmakers are satisfied with the outcome. Also, players like the feature of time-unlimited access to the actual scanner in a trial mode, as it efficiently shows surebets with yield of up to 1.00. Many notice a responsible attitude of the developers to their product: a representative of the service answers the questions of customers, even on third-party websites. There are some downsides in the work of the support team, which does not respond as fast as the users would like.

In summary, one must say that PositiveBet is one of the best tools for live surebet search. Its use comes cheap (especially when looking at the profit that can be achieved with its help). The product has a simple and user-friendly functionality: it takes only a few minutes to master it. In addition, its developers offer a high level of service.

The service is fire, but far from perfect. Empty entries often slip through in prematch, and, most frustratingly, in live as well. I believe in the power of live, so errors are critical for me, as they often result in a serious loss of money

A good scanner for live betting at a reasonable price. High speed, a decent range of settings, and a good number of bookmakers. Definitely better than breakingbet; I compared them online. But it periodically produces erroneous surebets. It scans different markets and spits them out as a surebet. Of course, you have to monitor this yourself, but in live betting it’s quite difficult to react that quickly. As a result, both legs can fail, leading to a losing session. The administration acknowledges the errors and writes "thank you," but refuses to offer any kind of perk, such as a couple of subscription days. So I’m giving it four stars.

I've been using the scanner continuously for 7 years. Until recently, it was the best in my opinion, and most importantly, convenient. Lately, it has simply been turning into a dump. I use a dozen bookmakers with it, and at least 6 out of 10 are sluggish during scanning. That was almost always the case, and a couple of seconds wasn't critical for me, but for someone who joined recently, it will seem inconvenient and, to put it mildly, strange. Fine, I know all these quirks and have adapted. And lately, the 3-4 bookmakers that are the main ones—the exchange and the sportsbook—have stopped working properly. And in light of the fact that they have stopped responding to criticism by email—it's a complete disaster! I hope they will still find competent programmers and fix things.

I have formed a very contradictory impression of Pozitiv. On the one hand, there are some obvious downsides here. Real Downsides with a capital D. How can a scanner that respects itself and strives to be among the top scanners in 22 go without a calculator? Or how can it be that in live betting you have to additionally examine the odds and make sure that a surebet really exists? A questionable story for a program that, for some reason, is considered one of the best. But there are positives too, I won’t argue. The functionality is convenient, in principle. Everything is simple and clear; you find what you need (if it exists), and the bookmakers are mostly well-known. In short, the program is usable, and some people may even like it. But I would prefer to look for something else.

A very pleasant and convenient scanner. Unlike other websites and applications, this resource is aimed specifically at finding surebets and has few other features. In my opinion, that’s a plus, because users can quickly find what they need instead of digging through other tabs. I like that there are always enough matches selected here, although I barely have time to look through a quarter of them. A lot of bookmakers are covered, but I haven’t come across any names I knew absolutely nothing about. Plus, the subscription isn’t among the most expensive—the price justifies itself. I wish the developers continued success and growth.

Not a bad scanner for beginners, with its own shortcomings. I’m not sure Positive deserves its place at the top of the rankings, since objectively there are quite a few better platforms. At the same time, I can understand those who prefer to use it rather than some more popular site. Personally, I’m taking a short break right now, so I’m studying the market more than participating in it, and I can say that all scanners have downsides. But with Positive, these downsides are open and on the surface. Players quickly learn about the shortcomings and are able to deal with them, which works in the developers’ favor.

Personally, I liked that with one subscription I get access to all the scanner's features. You can look at surebets and middles if you feel like it. I am personally familiar with one program where each offering required a separate subscription, which came as an unpleasant surprise. Otherwise, it is a fairly standard scanner. If you take the standard advantages and disadvantages from all the top resources, this is their embodiment in every respect. The main thing is that you can bet, and bet successfully, and nothing more is required.

I took out a subscription to Позитив a couple of months ago. I read a lot of reviews and looked at all sorts of ratings, and decided that there is no perfect platform anyway, so why not try this option. After some time, I can say that I do not regret my choice. Most of the information in the reviews was confirmed, but everything turned out not to be as critical as they described. Yes, there are issues with surebets and there are lags, but where are there none? As soon as a scanner appears that completely eliminates such problems, the others will cease to exist. I give it four stars because the developers are in no hurry to improve the program. Perhaps they think everything is fine as it is, or perhaps it is something else.

I don’t know why there are so many dissatisfied people. In my opinion, it’s an excellent scanner. Everything is simple and clear, and I don’t encounter any problems while using it. I can calmly open it to study prematch bets, choose a couple or three suitable surebets, compare them, and make sure everything is fine. Or I can rush into live betting and place a bet on what’s offered in about 20 seconds. I’ve never had it happen that I placed a bet without checking and then discovered that the scanner had messed up. I can trust it and feel at ease. If someone asks which program I would recommend for arbitrage betting, I recommend Positive. So far, I haven’t received any negativity in response.

I first saw that there were free surebets and decided to see how everything worked. The free options turned out to be some kind of crap. I thought, all right, I will take a one-month subscription; so many people use it and do not complain, so I must be missing something. And it turned out that I really was missing something. How can this scanner be considered good at all? It does not even have a basic calculator to calculate everything. I calculate manually and waste time; playing this way live is, to put it mildly, difficult. And if I manage to keep up, it turns out that the odds are bogus, everything has already changed, and all the calculations can be thrown in the trash. If it is still tolerable in the line, then live makes this scanner for masochists, no other way to put it.

What I like about this scanner is that the filters here are as simple as possible. You go to the proposed surebets, choose your sport, event type, surebet size and everything else you want. You can look by bookmaker too, of course, since I personally am simply too lazy to open accounts everywhere. What I do not like is that the system sometimes slows down. It does not happen often, but it does happen. And it is really annoying. I understand that nobody is protected from this, but when you have already prepared everything and it freezes, you want to close the site immediately and never open it again.
