Arbitrage Calculator
An Arbitrage Calculator is a valuable tool for sports bettors seeking risk-free profit opportunities by exploiting odds discrepancies between different sportsbooks. It works by allowing users to input the odds for all possible outcomes of a sporting event, such as a tennis match or soccer game. Based on the odds entered, the calculator determines the optimal stake to place on each outcome to ensure that, no matter the result, the bettor will make a profit. This practice, known as arbing or sure betting, guarantees that the total return from one of the outcomes will cover all bets placed, resulting in a net profit. The calculator also displays the arbitrage percentage, which indicates the profit margin available. For example, if one sportsbook offers odds of 2.10 on Team A and another offers odds of 2.00 on Team B, the calculator will show how much to bet on each team to lock in a guaranteed profit, regardless of the final outcome. This tool streamlines the process of identifying and acting on arbitrage opportunities, making it an essential resource for bettors looking to capitalize on variations in odds while minimizing risk.
Bet $150 to win $100 on Team A, total payout of $250
Bet $90.93 to win $160 on Team B, total payout of $250
Total risk = $150 + $90.93 = $240.93
Total payout = $250
Profit = $250 - $240.93 = $9.07
