Forking

In the field of Live surebet scanning, the Forking scanner quickly transformed from a "young service" into a monster all-in-one tool that handles this type of surebet at the level of the world's leading surebet scanners.

The application was released in May 2019 and during this time managed to win over many surebetters, becoming one of the leaders in the field. Let’s find out why! We prepared a detailed review of the scanner based on 9 of the most important points for any surebetter.

Versatility and operating speed

The Forking scanner searches for arbitrage situations in live mode. The scanning speed is no more than 2-4 seconds. The current server capacity can handle up to 100 000 users simultaneously.

Demo version

On the website, after completing a simple registration, you can get unlimited access to all surebets (with no limitation on surebet size!), for 3 hours.

Bookmakers, sports, outcomes

Number of bookmakers scanned: 80, and this number is growing (so the figure in this review may be understated).
 

Sports: Football, Hockey, Tennis, Basketball, Volleyball, Futsal, Handball, Baseball, + Esports: Dota 2, Counter-Strike, League of Legends, FIFA, NHL, NBA, Starcraft2, Valorant.

Outcomes: all major ones are scanned (wins, scoring, totals, handicaps, including individual ones), small markets (corners, cards, penalties), alternative ones (1X and F2(-0,5), etc.)

Filters

In addition to filters by sports, bookmakers, and outcomes, the scanner lets you choose the percentage of displayed surebets (from -2%) and middles, set the required bet rounding, remove surebets involving women (except tennis), and remove surebets on friendly and youth matches.

In addition, a league filter was developed as a result of several months of analysis. It includes all leagues recommended for surebetting in order to preserve an account for a longer period. They are divided into 3 categories: Top leagues, Extended top, Other leagues.

Functionality

Forking has a built-in browser, and all actions with bookmakers are performed through it, so you need to log in to each bookmaker inside the scanner. There is a convenient “Log in to all bookmakers at once” button, or you can log in individually to each one by pressing the corresponding button.

The Forking browser has convenient navigation buttons: “Bet history”, “Make a deposit”, and “Withdraw funds”. You can also check your internet speed. 

In the upper-right corner there is a button to disguise the browser as Google Chrome and a button to launch the best odds search function. We will discuss this later.

The list of surebets for each arbitrage situation provides the following information: sport, pair of bookmakers, odds for each outcome and their markup relative to other bookmakers, yield percentage, team and tournament names, outcomes, time in the match, surebet lifetime, and match score! On the right there is a convenient button for deleting a specific surebet or an entire event from a particular bookmaker or from the entire feed.

After clicking a surebet, the calculator and two browser windows with the corresponding bookmakers open. The calculator header makes it convenient to verify all match data. The scanner loads the balance amount at each bookmaker, the maximum bet, and calculates the stake amounts for each leg based on the configured settings, then immediately enters the resulting figures into the bet slips. In addition, you can set fixed stake amounts for each leg, as well as an imbalance. On the right there are 3 buttons with checkmarks: the top one controls the first leg, the middle one the second, and the bottom one both at once.

On the left side of the calculator, you can switch from Manual to Semi-automatic mode. In manual mode, pressing the Leg or Surebet buttons brings the browser window to the foreground, and the user presses “Place bet” at each bookmaker. In semi-automatic mode, the bet at each bookmaker is placed immediately after pressing the Leg or Surebet buttons, which greatly speeds up the process of placing the arbitrage situation.

To minimize risks, a ban on placing negative surebets was developed. It also takes effect if, on one of the legs, the calculated stake is greater than the maximum permitted at the bookmaker.

There is another important button in the browser windows that open: “Covering”. If only one leg has been closed, you can press the button to launch a search for covering so that the scanner starts searching for opposite outcomes at other bookmakers. The button is located in the upper-right corner, and the found options will be displayed in the “Covering” tab. 

After selecting the most suitable covering, the corresponding bookmaker and calculator will open; the calculator will calculate the amount of the opposite bet and enter it into the bet slip! The user only needs to place the bet using the checkmark button in the calculator. With the paid “Middles” functionality, the covering tab will also display found middles with the yield selected in the settings.
The scanner also has a best odds search function. Using it, you can select any outcome at almost any bookmaker and compare its odds with those at all bookmakers to choose the highest one. It is launched through the browser using the button in the upper-right corner. 

The found options are displayed in the “Odds” tab. 

Clicking any of them opens the corresponding bookmaker, where the required bet slip is already open. The user only needs to enter the stake amount and place the bet. After that, Forking will offer to cover the bet that was placed. 
A distinctive feature of Forking is the “Profiles” functionality. It allows you to create an unlimited number of accounts at each bookmaker and switch between them with one click. This is convenient if you want to use many drops simultaneously for bonus hunting or to place identical surebets on one match from different accounts. 

This functionality also allows you to create an unlimited number of settings presets, between which you can also switch with one click.

Another function is “Middles”. It is located in the corresponding tab. 

Adaptation for beginners

The Forking ecosystem offers a two-week Forking Camp training course. At the time of writing, the price starts at $150. The course program is quite extensive and includes everything a beginner surebetter needs to know. In addition to the basic Forking Camp training, there are courses on tennis and esports surebetting, as well as various consultations and mini-courses.

Security

In the settings of each bookmaker, the user can enter proxy data, set and update Canvas and WebGL fingerprints, spoof available memory, multithreading, screen resolution, and time zone, as well as enable/disable DoNotTrack, WebRtc, and WebGL.

Technical support

Forking technical support is available directly from the application. An operator connects within a few seconds. We checked this claim—it turned out to be true. At night, a support request received a response in less than half a minute. Respect!

This concludes the scanner review!

We remind you that you can download a free demo version of the application on the official website.

In addition, a huge amount of useful visual information is available on the scanner’s YouTube channel!
