Your Arbitrage Quick Guide (Step-by-Step)

Arbitrage is simple: it means two bookmakers disagree so much on the odds that betting on every possible outcome still guarantees you a profit. Think of it as a pricing error you can legally exploit. This calculator tells you if the opportunity exists and exactly how much to bet on each outcome.

Step 1: Set Your Money and Format

• Select Currency: Choose your currency first (e.g., $ – US Dollar, ₦ – Naira). This sets the context for your calculated stakes and profits.
• Total Investment: Enter the total amount you are willing to invest across all outcomes. Example: Enter 1000 for your total stake.
• Odds Format: Click to select the format of the odds you are using: Decimal, American, or Fractional. (Default is Decimal.)

Step 2: Define the Game and Outcomes

• Number of Outcomes: Click either 2-Way (like Over/Under, Yes/No) or 3-Way (like Home/Draw/Away in football).
  • Self-Correction Moment: If you are checking tennis, you only need 2-Way. If you are checking soccer match winners, you need 3-Way.
• Enter Odds: In the newly generated boxes, enter the highest available odds you find for each outcome from different bookmakers.
  • Example for 2-Way: Find Outcome 1 (Bookmaker A) odds of 2.50. Find Outcome 2 (Bookmaker B) odds of 2.00. Enter these two values.

Step 3: Hit Calculate and Read the Status

• Action: Click the blue “Calculate Arbitrage” button.
• The Big Reveal (Arbitrage Status):
  • Green Status (Arbitrage Found): Congratulations, you have a guaranteed profit! The system confirms the odds are set wrong in your favor.
  • Red Status (No Arbitrage): No risk-free opportunity here. You need better odds to lock in a profit.

Step 4: Follow the Betting Strategy

If the status is green, you found the edge. Now, look at the Results Section for your betting instructions.

• Guaranteed Profit & Profit Margin: This tells you the minimum profit you will pocket, regardless of the game’s result.
• Betting Strategy Table: This is the most crucial part. The table tells you the exact stake to place on each outcome.
  • Outcome: The name of the bet (e.g., Home Win).
  • Stake: The exact amount you must bet on this specific outcome at the listed odds. You must follow these numbers precisely for the system to work.
  • Return: The total money you get back if this specific outcome wins.
  • Profit: The net guaranteed profit. (This value should be the same across all outcomes if it is a true arbitrage opportunity.)

This table removes the guessing. You simply place the calculated stakes and wait for your guaranteed return.
