What is arbitrage betting (a surebet)?
Arbitrage betting — or a surebet — takes advantage of the differences in odds between bookmakers. When the odds on the same event are high enough, you can bet on every possible outcome and still come out ahead no matter which one happens. The key is splitting your stakes correctly — and that is exactly what this tool does for you.

How to use the calculator

Choose how many ways the bet has — from 2 (e.g. Over/Under) up to 15.
Enter the odds
Type the best odds you found for each outcome across your bookmakers.

Prefer to set the stakes yourself? Just edit any value in the Bet column and the calculator recalculates the profits accordingly.
How to spot a surebet
Add up the inverse of each odd: V = 1/odd₁ + 1/odd₂ + … + 1/oddₙ. If V is less than 1, a guaranteed profit exists (a surebet). The further below 1 it is, the higher your profit margin (profitability). The tool calculates V and the profitability automatically.
