Sure bets - arbitrage bettingl

Bet where you benefit regardless of the outcome of sporting event is called arbitrage (arbitrage betting) or a sure bet. Arbitrage occurs when the coefficient of two or more bookmakers disagree so much that when you bet on all possible outcomes of the event , you make profit. For example: a tennis match between two equal opponents A and B: Book 1 gives the coefficient A: 2.10 and B: 1.90; other bookmaker did evaluate the event as A: 1.90 and B: 2.10. If we bet 100 EUR per player in book 1 and 100 EUR per player in book 2, in this case it doesn’t matter how the game is going to end, because we win sure 10 EUR (profit is 210 EUR, but we bet only 200 EUR) . The example is entirely indicative.

Overall arbitration bets are related to betting on big amounts, due to the fact that profits are up within 2-5%. In this situation to gain 300 EUR profit, player must bet an amount of about 10 000 EUR. It is important to bear in mind that sometimes the bookmakers allow technical errors in the announcement of the coefficient which leads to unrealistic arbitrage with return from 20% to 30%. They are extremely dangerous for the players because the stakes are subsequently canceled.

Arbitrage betting is generally suitable for advanced players with experience with online bookmakers. Overall, it presents quite risks: for example, a match is postponed for one day – one bookmaker cancel the bet, while others accept it with a new date. In this case or similar cases serious amounts of money could be lost by the players. Also some bookmakers have rules against the arbitration betting and if they suspect you, your account could be closed and/or your money could be blocked. There are also bookmakers who charge money for withdraw money and in some cases the taxes could be larger than the profit. It is important always to understand the rules and conditions of each bookmaker.

One of the safest ways to profit from online bookmakers is to bet their bonuses for new players on arbitration principles. In this case you need an event in which the odds make arbitrage in second bookmaker with good coefficient. For example: deposit 50 EUR at Unibet and take 100% extra bonus. With these 100 EUR bet on event A at odds of 1.9. Deposit 100 EUR to another bookmaker (eg Betfair) and bet them on event B at odds of 1.9 (a classic example of a tennis match between two players completely equivalent). For event A at odds of 1.9 and event B at odds of 1.9 we have a classic arbitrage, but thanks to bonuses you win in all cases. Regardless who wins we have a net profit of 190-150 (as we bet) = 40 EUR. List of the most attractive betting bonuses: HERE.
