Oddspedia Sure Bets - Guide to Sure Wins
Sure bets, also known as arbitrage, is a
strategy that yields certain profits when you place bets on all possible outcomes of an
event. This is possible, due to the fact that betting sites offer different lines,
based on their predictions for the market. This opens the opportunity to find arbitrage
situations, where you are guaranteed to profit.
Oddspedia shows those cases of Sure
Wins where with bets on each outcome at different bookmakers you are guaranteed a
profit, whatever the result of the event might be.
In the outcome columns, the highest
available odds are presented. Use filters to customize your sure bets page - choose
your desired bookmakers, percentage levels or the number of outcomes needed to place a
sure bet.
Click on the calculator logo in the Sure bets section above, enter the total
amount you wish to bet and the calculator will automatically calculate the stakes
needed at the different outcomes of the event.

How to Calculate Sure Bets?
The easiest answer would be to use a dedicated
calculator - like Oddspedia's sure bet calc. After finding a suitable event where the
odds payouts are above 100% (guaranteed profit) when taken from different bookmakers -
one should split its bet proportionally to guarantee a profit.
Let us take the 1x2
market for "Team A" vs "Team B" with a 100$ stake as an example - the formula is as
follows:
(1/TeamA odds) + (1/Draw odds) + (1/Team B odds) < 1
When this is true we will
find ourselves with a sure bet, where we have to decide the total investment. See
below:
1 (Team A) @8.00 (Bookmaker “A”)
X (Draw) @5.30 (Bookmaker “B”)
2 (Team B) @1.50
(Bookmaker “C”)
(1/8.00) + (1/5.30) + (1/1.50) = 0.125 + 0.188 + 0.667 = 0.98 which is
< 2% less than 1.
So let us see how to split the 100$ stake to turn a profit :
1 (Team
A) @8.00 (Bookmaker “A”) x 12.75$ = 102$
X (Draw) @5.30 (Bookmaker “B”) x 19.25$ =
102$
2 (Team B) @1.50 (Bookmaker “C”) x 68.00$ = 102$
For the arber, this locks all 3
outcomes to a guaranteed 102$ return from our 100$ stake or a 2% sure bet net profit,
which we calculated above.
Of course, as we suggested - picking a 2-way betting market
or a sport without a draw option makes the matter less complicated. In those cases, you
will need fewer staking calculations to place the arbitrage bets.
Sure Betting
Explained - Arbitrage Betting FAQ:
How do Surebets work?
Sure bets signal opportunities
where a bettor can place multiple wagers on the same sports event and make a profit,
due to the differences in prices set by various betting companies.
Also known and
referred to as "arbitrage betting", "arbing", "surebets", "sure wins", and "safe bets"
- the strategy of simultaneous buying and selling or backing & laying at an exchange
done on favourable payouts - will provide a guaranteed profit.
As we mentioned earlier,
what needs to be done is to place a bet on the different outcomes of the match. Done at
different bookmakers, the service utilizes the odds discrepancies between those sites
to present an arbitrage situation.
Hence why, it's best to be prepared and to have an
open account with several bookmakers. And one of the easiest ways to make it work is to
cover two potential outcomes. As a starter in sure betting, picking 2-way betting
markets and sports such as Tennis, which doesn't have a draw, will make arbing a
breeze.
Sports that don’t have a tie, like tennis, are usually the easiest to make sure
bets because you only need to cover two potential outcomes.
What Is the Definition of
Arbitrage Betting?
Arbitrage is a financial method that can also be applied to betting.
Here is the official definition in one sentence: "In economics and finance, arbitrage
is the practice of taking advantage of a price difference between two or more markets:
striking a combination of matching deals that capitalize upon the imbalance, the profit
being the difference between the market prices."
Is the Sure Bets Tool suitable for
beginners?
Absolutely! The tool simplifies the process, making it user-friendly for
beginners to identify and place sure bets without extensive knowledge.
How to find Sure
Bets?
Bookmakers offer different odds when it comes to a sporting event. As an example,
for a football match is quite possible that 1xBet offers the best odds for the home
team to win, Betfair offers the best odds for a draw, and Marathonbet has the edge for
an away win.
Accurate odds are vital for betting companies and while at first, it might
seem easy to take favourable prices from various bookies, nowadays such situations are
getting harder and harder to find.
So naturally, the best way is to use sure bet
scanning software such as the tool found on this Oddspedia sure bets page. Oddspedia
scans thousands of events and markets from many bookmakers in order to find suitable
opportunities for sure bets. Once you pick the safe bet you want to use the only other
requirement is to have an account at the matching bookies and to check the betting
limits.
Is there any risk involved in Sure Bets?
Sure bets involve minimal risk since
they are calculated to guarantee a profit. However, odds can change quickly, so timely
execution is essential.
What Are High Sure Bets?
High sure bets refer to sure bets with
the most guaranteed payout.
By default, Oddspedia sure bets tool shows descending sure
bets by profit. Anything above a 5% profit margin is considered a high sure bet.
Betting on those odds will naturally yield you the most winnings.
Which is the best
advice for successful Arbitrage Betting?
The first step is to make sure that you have a
betting account with the bookmakers listed for a Sure Bet. Spend some time registering
an account and you might even be able to take advantage of a welcome bonus being
offered with that particular operator. Once you have betting accounts opened with as
many bookmakers as possible, it means that you can start placing sure bets. We
recommend starting off with small stakes to make sure you get the hang of arbitrage
betting and you’re able to bet on two or three sides of the betting market. Providing
that you place a couple of Sure Bets and make a profit on your outlay, you can
gradually start to increase the stake sizes in order to make a bigger overall profit.
Sometimes you can find out the maximum stake for a particular bet before going ahead
and placing it with that bookmaker.
What are the possible difficulties when it comes to
Arbitrage Betting?
First, you have to consider the maximum allowed stake for each
bookmaker. Because we are usually taking a sure bet profit of a few per cent of the
amount staked, it is easy to forget about the staking limits looking for bigger
payouts. Because we are using larger amounts of money for small returns, we have to
make sure that you have all your options covered. Don't expect you can make a €1,000
bet on an outcome for second division league match. Bookmakers set stricter limits to
lower-division football matches and less popular sports to mitigate risk.
Second, you
have to be really quick to place your bet when you see an arbitrage situation. The odds
are moving constantly, and a punter has to make sure that he places the correct stakes
at all bookmakers at the same time. Otherwise, a sudden change in odds may need
recalculation of the sure bet stake split, or even losing the arbitrage situation.
Many
bookmakers don't support sure betting as a fair play. Hence why, it's possible
sometimes for a betting company to restrict your account limits. In the end, there is
no punter that won't like a risk-free bet, with guaranteed profit on his bets. And
bookies are not in the business of giving free money and bonus bets just like that.
How
Much Money Can I Make with Arbitrage Betting?
The profits will vary based on the
initial investment, the amount of betting sites you have an account with as well as the
frequency of bets you place on certain outcomes. Unfortunately, we can’t fully
guarantee you will make a profit, or how much exactly, by placing Sure Bets. But we
estimated that by using our fast and user-friendly sure betting tool, your winnings may
potentially make you more than 20% profit per month. We also recommend combining sure
bets with bookmaker promotions which may lessen the risk (free bets) or increase your
profit or both.
Is Arbitrage Betting Legal?
Sports betting arbitrages are completely
legal, well except in the case where you are wagering from a country where sports
betting, in general, is illegal. The arber only takes advantage of the favourable odds
listed at different sportsbooks. With that said - legality is not a problem but
bookmakers, in general, do not approve of sure bets made by users and may limit your
betting accounts.
