AI Summary

This video explains arbitrage betting, a strategy that guarantees profit by placing bets on all possible outcomes across different sportsbooks. It covers how to find these opportunities using software like OddsJam, the potential profits, and the risks involved.

[00:01]
Arbitrage betting basics

Arbitrage betting involves placing bets on both sides of the same game at different sportsbooks to guarantee a profit. Example: $100 on Raiders -5.5 and $345 on Broncos +5.5 yields $15 profit (3.2%).

[01:42]
Why arbitrage exists

Arbitrage opportunities exist because different sportsbooks use different algorithms to set odds, and with over 50 legal sportsbooks in the US, discrepancies are inevitable.

[02:37]
Rarity of opportunities

Arbitrage opportunities are rare: less than 1% of odds are arbitrage opportunities. They are also short-lived, lasting 7-12 minutes on average.

[03:17]
Using OddsJam

OddsJam is a tool that scans over 100 sportsbooks in real-time to find arbitrage opportunities. It provides a calculator to determine stake amounts for guaranteed profit.

[04:14]
Calculator example

With a $300 stake on one side, OddsJam might suggest $454.81 on the other to secure a guaranteed profit. For $100, it suggests $150.60 to make $27.

[04:40]
Availability of opportunities

Arbitrage opportunities are not competitive; multiple people can bet on the same opportunity. There are always 50-100 opportunities available at any time.

[05:34]
Profit potential

The strategy is to keep OddsJam open, check for opportunities, and place bets quickly. Daily profits can range from $10 to $100, adding up to $1,500 per month.

[06:15]
Tracking bets

Tracking every bet is crucial. OddsJam has a bet tracker that records wins/losses and shows statistics.

[07:08]
Avoiding detection

Sportsbooks dislike arbitrage bettors and may limit betting amounts or ban promotions. To avoid detection, use round numbers like $95 instead of $95.35.

[08:29]
Risks and bankroll

Risks include canceled bets (rare) and the need for a minimum bankroll of $2,000. The video recommends $5,000 to start.

[00:01] bet on both sides of the same game and make a guaranteed profit but how exactly does this work to illustrate an example let's say the Denver Broncos and the Las Sunday Night Football on the Sportsbook bet 365 the Raiders minus 5 A2 is

[00:15] currently available at plus 360 while in the books bet rivers in unibet the Broncos plus 52 is currently available at-300 so if we put $100 on the Raiders minus 5 1/2 and $345 on the Broncos plus 5 1/2 regardless of which bet wins our

[00:31] payout is $460 in total we only bet $445 meaning that no matter which team wins in both situations we make a risk-free profit of $15 a nice 3.2% tonight between Sheffield United and Everton where I can bet on how many shot

[00:47] attempts this certain player named George balog will have over 0.5 shots is plus 150 on points bet while under 0.5 shots is at minus 114 on parlay play if we put $200 on the over we'd win $500 and if we put 2 $66 on the under we'd

[01:01] also win $500 in total we only risked $466 meaning our return regardless of $466 meaning our return regardless of which B wins is $33 a 6.7% profit from one single bet as we can observe an Arbitrage opportunity is present

[01:14] whenever we find two bets on different books where the odds for the underdog favorite Arbitrage is also possible when there are two plus money bets on opposing sides like this Christian mcaffrey bet where the over is plus 133

[01:27] on hot streak while the under is plus 13 five on bar stool if we put $100 on each side we would make a risk-free profit of $33 or 14.5% if you're new to sports description to set up a free meeting with me where I explain everything to

[01:42] like this exist simply because different sports Books use different algorithms to set their odds in the us alone there's already over 50 legal Sports books with every single month at any given time these Sports books are offering millions

[01:55] games all which are constantly shifting due to complex algorithm Ms with all calculated and offered it's literally impossible for there not to be different sides of the same game on two different sports books and make a

[02:09] premise of Arbitrage betting Arbitrage betting is very unique for a couple of one of the only ways to make risk-free profit is such a high rate of return the about 9% per year but with Arbitrage betting we can make Returns on our money

[02:24] betting we can make Returns on our money of 3% 5% or even up to 70% in a single need to know anything about sports or watch any games in order to be simply place our bets and be WorryFree knowing that we're going to make money

[02:37] regardless of the outcome you need to know though that Arbitrage opportunities are exceptionally rare for every 100 odds on a sports book only about 0.5 of them are Arbitrage opportunities this is less than 1% additionally Arbitrage

[02:49] Sports spinning odds are constantly moving most Arbitrage opportunities only shift somewhere else in the next 3 minutes I'm going to show you how you can find findy these Arbitrage bets using software and make a minimum $1,500

[03:03] a month or more mathematically risk-free go down to the link in the description of this video and start your 7-Day free trial of oddam positive expected value videos you know the deal by now oddam is a tool that allows you to make risk-free

[03:17] large number of profitable sports betting tools the Arbitrage tool being my channel talking about how I use their tools to make over $100,000 betting on video is only going to be about the Arbitrage tool the odam Arbitrage tool

[03:33] looks for Arbitrage beted opportunities across 100 plus different sports books odds per second in real time any Arbitrage opportunities appear can see what two books the bets are on the amount of profit the BET returns as

[03:47] order to know how much money to bet on each side just click on the calculator button right here and input any number you want on one side of the bet it will on the other side in order to return the profit listed this is going to depend on

[04:01] that particular sports book as well as how large your bank roll is overall a normal amount for me would be about $300 so I input that on one side and Odem then tells me I need to put $ 45481 on the other side in order to make this

[04:14] guaranteed profit of 99.8% of course you don't need this much money to do the exact same thing say we have $100 type in 100 and we see that we should bet 150 160 on the other side in order to make this guaranteed profit of $27 you don't

[04:27] need to know any of the math behind this because odds Jam is the calculator that almost every Sportsbook in the world with odds that update in real time Arbitrage betting opportunity are Arbitrage opportunities sparse and will

[04:40] you have to compete with other people to grab them the answer is no this is not versus Sportsbook just because one person bets on it doesn't mean that you can't bet on it too it's simply who can grab it before the odds change no matter

[04:53] what time of the day it is or when I log on there are always anywhere from 50 to time time as I'm recording this there are actually 119 different Arbitrage opportunities available in my experience Arbitrage bets usually last 7 to 12

[05:06] with other opportunities so that's thousands of bets per day that are key to Arbitrage betting and the key to sports betting in general is to be depending on where you live there may be

[05:20] available and you need to sign up for and keep money on as many as you can at bet opportunity between any two sports books and you want to be prepared to take advantage of it the winning strategy is simple just leave odm open

[05:34] look whenever you have a chance whenever you see a good Arbitrage opportunity quickly log into each sports book place the two bets and then go on about your around 2 to 5% profit meaning that depending on how large your bank roll is

[05:48] you can make anywhere from $10 to $100 per day just doing Arbitrage this may not sound like much but it quickly adds up just $50 a day is $1,500 a month which is a 87% profit margin after you subtract the cost of OD gem that's

[06:01] literally all there is to it guys look at the Arbitrage bet a few times a day can make a very solid profit it's very very important to track every single bet sheet which you can find a template of in the description but I recommend that

[06:15] you use the ojam BET tracker whenever you make a bet in od Jam click this blue plus button right here verify the details and push save that's literally it it will then be put into your bet tracker and when it either wins or loses

[06:28] it'll be shown in your sta itics so if arbit Char betting is so easy and profitable why isn't everyone doing it in my opinion it's mostly due to lack of to the American gaming Association almost 40 million people in the US alone

[06:41] have bet on Sports in the last year and I'd wager that at least 95% of them have that's because this space is brand new until now we haven't had a tool you that can literally scan millions of odds per second to find Arbitrage

[06:55] opportunities which is revolutionary in its own right now that we talked about Arbitrage betting it's time to talk about the cons and the potential world there's no such thing as free money without some type of catch the

[07:08] Sports books do not like players to use Arbitrage betting and will limit your strategy sports betting companies are in the business of taking people's money too much they can restrict the amount of money that you're allowed to bet as well

[07:22] as ban you from using promotions like profit boosts and bonus bets this is happens to every single person who is a profitable Sports better for example Hard Rock tell me that I'd no longer be able to use their promotions and this is

[07:35] an email I got from bet 365 restricting the amount of money that I'm allowed to limited doesn't mean that you can't withdraw your money or that you're in they don't want you to play on their books because you're making too much

[07:47] single most important thing that you can do if you want to make long-term money ways to prevent being limited all which I discuss in my sports betting mini video on on later basically you want to make yourself look like a normal Sports

[08:02] example we don't want to use a mounts that make it look like we're doing calculations if we have to bet 95 35 on something use a more normal looking L like 95 or 100 Instead This is going to reduce our profit a little bit in the

[08:14] getting limited for much longer the second downside of risk is canceled bets book will cancel it stating that there is mistake in the odds or that the odds it's extremely important to then head your bet or else you only have one out

[08:29] losing a lot of money in my experience this is rare and has only happened twice but it's still definitely something you want to look out for the third downside little bit of money to start out with the more money you have the better but

[08:43] in general I would say the minimum is around $2,000 anything less than this good profit if money isn't an issue then I would recommend about $5,000 to start with depending on how many sports books are legal in your area if this video has

[08:56] betting my advice would be click that link in the description get your free Sports books won't be allowing this forever and as they get smarter they'll be taking more steps to limit winning players just like us after the free

[09:09] trial aam is $200 a month which might seem expensive but honestly is nothing as a sports bending tool $200 a month when you divide it is only $6 a day last year I averaged $75 of profit per day so I'm more than happy to pay that $6 for

[09:23] the first place of course you can always just use it for 7 days and then cancel if you just want to check it out I was actually able to make $5,000 more than month in my first 30 days of betting with OD Jam which you can learn about in

[09:36] with OD Jam which you can learn about in my video about bonus bet
