Advanced Guide to Betting on Arbitrage Games
Understanding Arbitrage Betting
Arbitrage betting (or “sure betting”) is a strategy that allows bettors to profit regardless of the outcome of a game by placing bets on all possible results across different bookmakers. The key is to find discrepancies in the odds provided by different bookmakers, ensuring that the total implied probability is less than 100%.
Step-by-Step Guide to Betting on Arbitrage Games
1. Analyze the Bookmakers
Before placing any bets, you must first confirm that the bookmakers you are using support the game you intend to bet on. Here’s what you need to do:
- Log in to your bookmaker accounts.
- Confirm that the game exists on the bookmaker’s website.
- Ensure that you are in the correct betting category (e.g., match result, over/under, handicap betting, etc.).
- Check that the odds displayed on RYTGame match those on the bookmaker’s platform.
2. Verify the Game’s Availability
- Ensure that the game is still available and has not started yet.
- Confirm if the event is live or pre-match.
- Double-check how long the odds have been available, as they may change rapidly.
3. Use the Arbitrage Calculator
- Input the odds from the two or three bookmakers into the appropriate arbitrage calculator (2 Odds or 3 Odds Arbitrage Calculator).
- Enter your total stake to calculate how much to bet on each bookmaker.
- Take note of the required stake amounts for each bookmaker.
4. Fund Your Bookmaker Accounts
- Ensure that you have sufficient funds in both (or all three) bookmaker accounts.
- Deposit the exact amounts as calculated by the arbitrage calculator.
5. Place Your Bets
- Navigate to the correct games on each bookmaker’s platform.
- Double-check that you are placing the bets in the right markets.
- Enter the stake amounts as calculated by the arbitrage calculator.
- Place your first bet quickly, then immediately place the second (and third, if applicable) bet.
6. Handling Staking Restrictions
- Some bookmakers impose limits on how much you can stake on certain games.
- If unsure, consider staking half the required amount first to check if the bookmaker imposes a limit.
- If you encounter a restriction, adjust the other stakes accordingly to ensure you still maintain an arbitrage profit.
7. Monitor Your Bets
- Once all bets have been placed, monitor the games and your bet slips to ensure everything is processed correctly.
- If any bet is voided by a bookmaker, immediately check for alternative bets to minimize losses.
