How to win every bet with Sure Bets
Also known as Arbitrage betting is exactly how it sounds. Bets that you can place on bookmakers such as William hill, Betfair, Bet365 and Ladbrokes etc which are guaranteed a win no matter what the outcome.
How does this work?
To get a Sure Bet, we use software that scans Betting sites and finds odds that compliment the opposition so there is a guaranteed win.
Example
Site A has a tennis match game where player 1 has an odd of 3.4
Site B has the same tennis match game where player 2 has an odd of 2.1
If we have £100 to bet we use a betting calculator to work out the stake we need to put down on both sites so no matter what the outcome we are guaranteed a win.
The calculator says if we put £38.18 on player 1 to win on site A, you receive 129.81 if they win.
We then go to site B and put £61.82 on player 2 to win on site B, you receive £129.82 if they win.
So our total stake is £100 (£38.18 + £61.82)
If player 1 wins we get £29.81 profit (stake + winnings)
If player 2 wins we get £29.82 profit (stake + winnings)
We are up no matter what the outcome! This is called a sure bet. Fantastic!
What's the catch?
There is none. There are plenty of opportunities every minute to place a sure bet. Unfortunately it's extremely hard and time consuming to find them yourself, so we use the software to scan hundreds of bet sites and find the sure bets for us.
Pros
-
Guaranteed win no matter what the outcome
-
Software helps us to find the surebets (usually costs)
-
Sure bet calculator helps us place the correct amount (free)
Cons
-
Odds are changing every minute so when you find one, place the bet asap or you could miss it.
-
Some betting sites cap your stake so you might have to go back to the calculator and re set the amount you stake.
-
If you start winning too often on a certain bookmaker you are likely to be limited or suspended as they will see you as a professional gambler (and of course they don't want too many of those!
Things to look out for -
-
Check on both sites if you can place the right amount BEFORE you place each bet. If you place on site A then go to site B to place your bet and they have capped your stake at say £5, then your in a tight spot as you've already place the first bet and the only way to win is to hope your first bet wins or you're out of pocket.
-
Check and double check that you have the right game that you are placing the bet on. Remember the software is a computer programme and there is room for error. Sometimes there are 2 games on, with both teams playing in different leagues or one women's and one men's. Make sure it is the same game, same time etc.
-
Even though your calculator will give you an amount to bet from your given stake, try to round it up to the nearest pound. You are less likely to be suspended or limited if you place bets like £125 rather than £124.76.
-
Try not to go for the highest odds all the time. If it's too good to be true it usually is. Sometimes bookmakers make mistakes, this is called palpable errors.
What does this mean?
If you find a Sure bet for 120% and you have checked and double checked and the odds are correct on both bookmakers it will let you place the bet. However, in the case that it is a palpable error, the bookmaker will usually rectify the error just before the game starts and refund your bet, most times without telling you.
You can log in after the game and see your stake simply refunded to your account which means the other stake with the other bookmaker is now at risk of being lost if the voided bet was the winning one.
Rebelbetting advise that - Arbs over 5% should automatically raise a warning flag. Pre-match Arbs over 10% are almost always palpable errors.
(Although we have found plenty that are 10 - 40%, so go with your gut).
Software
We currently use 3 programmes that are great and have listed them in order of our favourite.
This is the best we've used so far. They have 3 plans -
Free which gives you value bets.
$30 a month which gives you value bets and sure bets.
$33 a month which gives you value bets, sure bets and middles.
We will post more on the different bets at a later date as we have not tried them yet. We only post information on what we have tried and found to be successful.
This is a great piece of software, because you can add your usernames and passwords for each bookmaker you're a customer with and when the software finds the sure bet you can go straight to the site and place your bets via the software.
You can sign up for free to see what it's all about. They give you a free eBook to learn everything you need to know and you get to play about with the software, but the sure bets you see are very low (around 1-5%
Is another brilliant piece of software that allows you to add your username and passwords for each bookmaker, making it easier for you to place Surebets.
Mathbet also shows you the Surebet, as well as the amount to stake all in the same window.
This software is free to download.
