Cyber Forks scanner has been operating for less than a year and looks completely different from what most users are accustomed to. There is no website, no installable computer program, etc. All interaction takes place through a VKontakte group. Through it, you ask questions, pay for a subscription, and receive the scanner's results—surebets—in private messages. Most importantly, the scanner has a very narrow specialization: surebets are provided only for esports. At the moment, 15 bookmakers are parsed:

Cyber Forks scanner has been operating for less than a year and looks completely different from what most users are accustomed to. There is no website, no installable computer program, etc. All interaction takes place through a VKontakte group. Through it, you ask questions, pay for a subscription, and receive the scanner's results—surebets—in private messages. Most importantly, the scanner has a very narrow specialization: surebets are provided only for esports. At the moment, 15 bookmakers are parsed:
- Pinnacle
- Sbobet
- GGbet
- Lootbet
- Gorilla
- EGB
- Buffbet
- Betcity
- Bingoboom
- Marathon
- Fonbet
- Leon
- Tennisi
- Olimp
- Mostbet
- MyCyberBet
Esports disciplines included in the results:
- Counter Strike;
- Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO);
- League of Legends (LoL);
- Dota2;
- OverWatch;
- StarCraft2;
- King of Glory.
After you pay for a subscription, you begin receiving private messages containing information about current surebets. The messages are sent automatically by a bot. An example of what the scanner's result looks like:
Scanning is performed in three modes:
Pre-match – indicated in the image by a purple joystick (?). These events will take place in the near future.
Live – indicated in the image by an optimistic little flame. These events are taking place in real time, and if you want to bet on this particular surebet, you need to hurry.
Pre-live – a very specific mode. In short, it occurs when a match has started, but one bookmaker still has the match listed as prematch, while another updates the information faster and posts odds for the match based on the actual situation. Placing bets in this mode is extremely risky, and we recommend refraining from it.
We will analyze the scanning result image further. The first line, next to the surebet type icon, indicates the time remaining until the event begins and the profit from the surebet.
Next comes general information about the competition on which you are offered a bet: the esports discipline and tournament.
The following lines contain the names of the markets with odds and direct links to go to this event at the bookmakers. Since the transition takes place through VK, this method arouses far fewer suspicions among bookmakers than other systems.
Examples of possible outcomes:
- M W 1 -> match winner - first
- M3 W 2 -> map 3 winner - second
- M H (+1.5) 1 -> map handicap +1,5 on the first
- M1 H (-7.5) 2 -> handicap by rounds/kills on map 1 on the second
- M T OVER 1.5 -> total maps in the match - more than 1.5
- M3 T UNDER 26.5 -> total rounds/kills on map 3 - less than 26.5
The very last line contains a link to a calculator with the odds and surebet profitability already entered. You need to specify the stake amount and currency.
Client panel
Despite the fact that information about a surebet arrives via a VKontakte private message, scanner users have the option to customize it, thereby making their work easier and filtering out unnecessary information.
The “Choose bookmaker” button will take you to a menu where you can do this.
The “Hide surebets” button will hide all surebets that arrived in the last message
The “Help” button will take you to the FAQ on working with the scanner and to the “Feedback” section, where you can ask any questions that arise.
The “Settings” button will take you to the Settings menu
This is where you can specify the minimum and maximum surebet profitability; the minimum surebet lifetime; disable the calculator; and change the bookmaker domain if necessary.
Advantages and disadvantages of the Cyber Forks surebet scanner
Pros:
- Unique results provided;
- Scanning in different modes—prematch and live;
- Availability of a free trial period (1 ruble)
Cons:
- Overpriced subscription rates;
- Registration with VKontakte is required. The group was blocked some time ago. It is unknown how interaction is conducted during the blockage;
- The subscription can only be paid for via Qiwi;
- You need to understand at least a little about the specifics of esports;
- There is no option to freeze the rate;
- Many of the scanned bookmakers are not usual for surebetters. You will have to open accounts there, complete the identification procedure, and deposit money into the account. This takes time and involves considerable additional expenses.
Conclusions
It is still too early to draw any far-reaching conclusions. During the testing period—which was approximately one day—I received more than 5000 messages with surebets by email. As you can understand, it is physically impossible to follow all the links. Selective visits, of which there were about 100, produced the following results: 2 visits for live surebets were pointless because the events had already disappeared from the line; there were no surebets in pre-live mode, and all those in the mailing were erroneous. One thing that stands out is that in bets of the W1-W2 type, the teams in the message are often swapped relative to how they appear in the bookmaker's line. However, the combination is correct and the surebet exists, so this cannot be considered an error.
I did not come across any surebets involving Pinnacle, SboBet, Leon, or Olimp bookmakers.
In its current form, I would not recommend the scanner. It gives the impression of an unfinished product at the beta-testing stage. At the same time, its subscription price is comparable to or even exceeds that of much higher-quality scanners. Even the free period should not be taken seriously, since using this scanner involves working with bookmakers specializing in esports. This means a significant increase in the betting bankroll.
Although the Cyber Forks scanner undoubtedly has certain advantages. At the time of writing, 217 people were subscribed to the VK group, meaning that the number of clients is no greater than this. Thanks to this “non-mass-market” nature, your bookmaker account should survive longer than those of other average surebetters.
