What is arbitrage betting?

Arbitrage betting (surebetting or arbing) means covering every outcome at odds that guarantee profit. When bookmakers disagree on prices, the combined implied probability can fall below 100% — that gap is your margin.

This free arb calculator splits your bankroll so each leg returns the same payout. For live opportunities, use Sportalon's surebets finder.

How to find surebet opportunities

Once you know the maths, the hard part is spotting mispriced odds before they move. There are two main ways to do it:

Manually

  • Open the same market on two or more bookmakers
  • Compare decimal odds and note the best price on each outcome
  • Plug them into this surebet calculator to check if ROI is positive
  • Slow, but good for learning how arbs form and which markets to watch

Using software

  • A surebets finder scans dozens of bookmakers automatically
  • Opportunities are ranked by profit margin and filtered by sport or book
  • Stake splits and booking codes are ready the moment an arb appears
  • Much faster than checking every site by hand before lines change

Use this page to verify any arb you find manually. When you want them delivered in real time, switch to Sportalon's live surebets finder.

Frequently asked questions

What is an arbitrage betting calculator?
A tool that checks whether decimal odds across all outcomes guarantee profit, then calculates stake per leg. Also called a surebet calculator or arb calculator.
How do you calculate a surebet?
Add implied probabilities (1 ÷ odds). If the sum is below 1.0, stake on each outcome = (total stake ÷ sum) ÷ odds. Our calculator handles any number of legs.
What is a good arbitrage percentage?
Most real surebets return 1% to 5% ROI. Margins above 10% are unusual and may be voided. Negative ROI means no arb at those prices.
Can I use this for 1X2 surebets?
Yes. Add three odds for home, draw, and away from different bookmakers. The calculator splits your stake across all three legs.
