The host and guest Boris demonstrate how to use software tools to find guaranteed profit opportunities, with a live example of an American football bet. They also discuss the costs and limitations of arbitrage software. ### Key Points - **Three Types of Sports Betting Arbitrage** [01:35] — The three methods are: 1) Positive expected value (EV) betting – placing bets where the probability of winning exceeds 50%, 2) Bonus hunting – using bookmaker bonuses to guarantee profit, and 3) Pure arbitrage – betting on all outcomes across different bookmakers to guarantee profit regardless of result. - **Bonus Hunting Strategy** [02:31] — Bookmakers offer bonuses like deposit $50 get $20 free. To secure the bonus, bet on opposite outcomes on different sites (e.g., Nadal wins on one site, Nadal loses on another) using the free bet, ensuring profit. - **Pure Arbitrage Explained** [03:26] — Pure arbitrage involves betting on both sides of an event (e.g., Nadal wins and loses) across different bookmakers where the odds create a guaranteed profit. This requires accounts on multiple betting sites and exchanges. - **Tools for Finding Arbitrage Opportunities** [04:26] — Free tools provide basic calculators and low-percentage opportunities (max 1%). Paid tools like Hot Jam ($1000/month) and Rebelde ($100/month) offer better odds and filters. The host uses free trials by canceling before the trial ends. - **Disadvantages of Sports Betting Arbitrage** [06:41] — Main disadvantages: difficulty in finding opportunities without trained eye, high cost of software, and risk of account blocking if withdrawing immediately. Focus on specific markets (e.g., tennis match outcomes) to simplify. - **Live Arbitrage Example** [08:39] — Using Outscham platform, the host demonstrates a live arbitrage bet on an American football game: betting on player receptions over 6.5 at one bookmaker and under 6.5 at another, guaranteeing 1.22% profit. With $100 bet, total stake $202.5, return $205, profit $2.5. - **Scaling Profit with Capital** [10:57] — Small percentage profits scale with capital: $1000 yields $25, $10,000 yields $250. The host emphasizes that software costs must be justified by sufficient capital. ### Conclusion Sports betting arbitrage offers risk-free profits but requires significant capital, expensive software, and careful account management. Beginners should start with bonus hunting and focus on simple markets like tennis match outcomes. ## Transcript do arbitrage with sports betting. to really turn up the heat on this channel, we're going to show you how to sports betting. We'll make a video showing all the different methods that can be used for this of course, the downsides. As you know, on this channel, regarding all the arbitrage we do. So, in this video, we're going to let me say that if you like the content, don't hesitate to leave a like and completely free, it doesn't cost you a thing, and you have no idea how much it free content. Okay, everyone, this video we're going to make is with Boris. in Canada. He's also a YouTuber, so I'll leave his social media links below in case told me that he's very willing to provide any kind of messages you need. I want to emphasize before starting this video that it's sports, maybe some basic understanding, but it's not necessary for us to have a lot of knowledge about sports because that's not the part that this arbitrage, which is a different option. We're uploading another option to this channel arbitrage that I've been looking at, and I found it more than interesting. So, Boris, who will explain how to do this arbitrage. What are the three sports betting? So, let's go to the screen. Good, good, how are you? Well, sports betting arbitrage. I'm going to show you how it's done, how it's calculated, software are that we can use, and what the advantages and disadvantages are Well, we have three ways to do sports betting arbitrage. The first is called Eve or estimated value. And what is that? Well, basically it's Placing bets where our chance of winning is greater than 50%, meaning imagine a coin toss where the probability of it landing heads is 60%, for example—then we're going to bet on these kinds of bets and we're going to win, or we're going to have the highest chance of winning. But it's a bit like the odds are in our favor, but it doesn't mean we're going to win. It simply means that in the long run, if we adjust to these kinds of odds, we're going to win 6 out of 10 times. The problem is that it's complicated with capital losses, but if we manage to maintain a structure or be consistent with our bets, we're going to achieve good results in the long run. The second sports betting arbitrage, which is one of the most interesting, is to take advantage of the bonuses offered by bookmakers. So how is this done? Many bookmakers give us a bonus. If we deposit, for example, $50, they give us a $20 free bonus to bet with. But have to bet to win, so what we do here is place bets in a " safe" way, in quotes, to win these bonuses and increase our winnings. How do we place a bet safely? Let's think about a tennis match where Nadal is playing and can win or lose. free bet site that Nadal will win, and with that free bet, we bet that Nadal will lose. We look for a betting site that will pay well for the outcome, we come out ahead. There are always software programs or calculators that will help us with the calculations. And the third module, the third part of sports betting, of sports betting, is arbitrage itself. Here, it's We have to have our accounts with as many betting sites as possible, like exchanges, and what we're going to do is arbitrage the payouts. Continuing with the tennis example, if one site pays 110 for Nadal to win, the other pays 100 for him to lose, regardless of the outcome. The So we're arbitraging because we're betting on the upside and the downside, that is, on Nadal winning or losing, but always coming out ahead without any risk. Now, how do we place or find these bets? This is the most difficult part because, as you probably already know, at a bookmaker we can bet on everything: corners, how many shots the first half, goals in the second, red cards, yellow cards, anything you can think of. of tools: free tools and paid tools that will help us find the bets that will work best for us. Like everything, they have their advantages and disadvantages. The free software is simply calculators, or perhaps they show us the different options we have, but with very low percentages, maybe at most 1%. The others are calculators that help us understand. Yes, with that bet we're going to win because we're betting on Nadal to win with a bookmaker paying 110, and we have to see how much we have to bet based on the Betting on the other house so that Nadal loses and we don't lose, these free calculators help us obtain the necessary capital. The necessary capital be an exact number. That is, many times we bet 10 that he will will lose, or vice versa. We simply have to know that so we don't make a mistake and that way we get a return. Then we have the all, called Hot Jam, but it's expensive, very expensive. The best plan costs us a thousand dollars per month. So imagine that to pay a thousand dollars, we have to manage a possible capital, not an incalculable one. I do it as another source of income, like many of you do. I create accounts with different emails. I create emails in Gmail and use them verification. I create accounts and use the free trials on both this, which is the best platform, and the other platform, which is a little cheaper. It costs 100 dollars, although it's really expensive, called Rebelde. On that platform, I create accounts. I use free accounts for 7 days. What I do is use all their services, and when the seven-day trial period ends, I realize you credit card information. But don't worry, because I've done it. I enter my cancel it before the 7th day, and nothing happens. There are no charges, no risks. Don't worry about that. Anyway, I do it casually, like Mateo, use this tool or do the calculations when I think it's necessary; I don't use it all the time. Finally, I wanted to mention the disadvantages we have when doing this cryptocurrency trading. The first and fundamental disadvantage is that many times, if we don't have a trained eye, betting sites are truly a challenge because we can bet on so many different things that it's difficult to focus on something and find the bets or divergences to obtain our arbitrage and our profits. So what we do is search or focus. At focus on outcomes, like the result of tennis, which can be winning or losing, not the possibility. I searched for tennis matches, and that's what... It allowed me to find arbitrage opportunities much more easily. Then I started using these software programs and it helped me a lot. Another disadvantage is that these software programs are very expensive. So, this presents a limitation for finding arbitrage opportunities, and the sense that we can't just jump in and out, move a thousand dollars at once to win a bet and then exit, because then they get blocked. Maybe you can withdraw the funds at the end, but that's it, and it's really not worth it. It's complicated in that sense, so especially if you're taking advantage of the bonuses, try to enter, claim the bonus, win it, but don't exit immediately. If you want to continue participating in the bets, you'll keep adding capital throughout the course of the operations. Now, in Spain, we have a tip for Spaniards: there's a website called Theods that basically gives you step-by- step instructions on how to use these bonuses, but the Spain; it's based on Spanish bookmakers. Well, the truth is that only works for Spanish people, so I hope this has been So far, I hope you're understanding what Boris just explained. This is this arbitrage bet. Now, in the next part of this video, we'll see access and the step-by-step process of everything we'll need to do to sports betting. So, if you're still watching the video, join me for part two. Here we are. I'm going to try to show you, quite quickly and simply, how to make a sports betting arbitrage bet live. I'm here on this platform called Outscham, which, as I best and offers the best tools. What we need to do is go to the tools section and choose the one that best suits us. In my case, I use this arbitrage because it fits my investment style or what But you can choose whichever arbitrage you want here. You can choose pre-match or in-game arbitrage, and then you can use the filters for basically everything. I want the percentage that sportsbooks want to win, the sport they want, the league, the market, etc. Look, I already have the filter set up for a few sportsbooks, which I basically put in place now to make the video much easier. So we come here, and here all going to choose this one for no particular reason. Actually, I should choose this one but I'm going to choose this one now just for the example method. Here we have that we're going to win 1.22%, which is a game that's happening now at 3 PM. Let's PM right now, that's why I want to do it now. It's an American football game we're going to bet on player receptions. We're going to bet that this player will have more than 6.5 receptions at this sportsbook and that he'll have less than 6.5 receptions at one of these two sportsbooks. So we know that by doing that, we're guaranteed to win. 1.22% there's no real chance like we platform that already loads the bet for us, and then what we're going to put is the amount we want to bet, for example, $100. So we put that we want to bet $100 instead of $365, and to come out winning we always have to bet 102.6 on the other betting site. This doesn't mean that we're going to bet $100 and if Stefano gets more than 6.5 receptions, they're not going to pay $105, that is, we're going to get $205. Here, if he gets less than 100.5, Nova, less than 6.5, sorry, they're going to pay us $102.5 again because the number is at $100. So we're going to end up with $205. So we bet $2025 in total at the beginning before the match, and when the match ends, we're definitely going to end up with $205. That means we're going to have a profit of 2.5%. Notice that it seems like a small profit, but if we have, for example, $1,000, we already get $25 and $10,000 already equals $50. This is what I'm talking about when we think about capital and the cost of this arbitrage software. Once we decide on our bets, for example, $100, we'll go to each of the betting sites and place the bet. Let's look at the example: 365. We search for the match; it appears here immediately because it's about to start. So we select the match and see that we have a lot of things to bet on. You probably already know this. In a match, you can bet on everything from, I don't know if it's soccer, corners, goal kicks, yellow cards, red cards, gold, etc. So here we're going to search by player because that's what we want to see. We said we wanted to see, if I'm not mistaken, the receptions. So we're going to search for receptions by player. We search for it, and here's our player, Estefandigón, and we say it will be over 6.5, and that it pays 105. So what we're going to do is bet on this. Player 1,150. Whatever we want to do depends on our capital. Once we do that, we go to the other page. In this case, it's Bodoc. You can choose whichever one you want. Let's go to Bodoc, and on Bodoc, we're going to look for the same thing: this game and the number of receptions for the player. So, we go to the game. The name is So, we go to the game. The name is the Bengals vs. the Buffaloes. I don't understand interested in understanding American football here. What matters to us is betting and winning What matters to us is betting and winning money. So, we look here. Look at the number of things you can bet on— too many for my taste. How do I know? Since we're looking for the total receptions, we're going to type it into the search bar: the total receptions. And here the players start appearing, and we have to look for our player, which is Fondagones. And notice that if we is Fondagones. And notice that if we bet less than 6.5, it pays us the total, that is, it pays us 100. What does that mean, Ivan? So, we click here, and it tells us to place the bet. We're going to put 100, and the possible winnings are... and here we put... Place your bet and you're done! After this, we simply have to wait for the match to end and see what this player does during the game. Many of us don't really care because we're guaranteed to win. Depending on what they do, we'll collect our bet on one platform or the other. So, arbitrage betting. It's very simple, and I hope it's useful and that you can do it yourselves, always keeping in mind that arbitrage betting software isn't that cheap, and you need a slightly hope this has been helpful. A big hug, and I hope you liked it. It's found quite interesting. Boris explained the step-by-step process of comments to add, they're always welcome in the comments section.
