AI Summary

This video presents three methods for finding arbitrage betting opportunities: manual searching, synthetic arbitrage using promotions, and odds scraping software. The creator shares personal experience and practical tips for each method, emphasizing that combining them maximizes profits.

[00:02]
Introduction to Arbitrage Methods

The video covers three foolproof methods: manual searching, synthetic arbitrage, and odds scraping software. These methods can be used together to find different types of arbitrage opportunities.

[00:40]
Manual Searching Strategy

Manual searching requires looking in less popular markets like smaller tennis tournaments, second-tier football, or college basketball, where mispricings are more likely. Futures markets are also good because bookmakers may be slow to update odds.

[02:56]
Recommended Bookmakers

In Australia, profitable bookmakers include CoinSpit and Unibet, which have good pricing and frequent mistakes. Using a betting exchange to see fair odds helps identify arbitrage opportunities quickly.

[04:49]
Synthetic Arbitrage Explained

Synthetic arbitrage involves using sportsbook promotions (e.g., free bets, bonus bets) and hedging on an exchange to guarantee profit. Match betting is a simple example.

[06:08]
Example of Synthetic Arbitrage

The creator used a 101-1 odds promotion on the FIFA World Cup 2022 to guarantee $170 profit regardless of outcome, by combining the promotion with a betting exchange.

[07:12]
Odds Scraping Software

Odds scraping software finds pure arbitrage opportunities across multiple bookmakers. Free versions have limitations, but paid ones offer more features and faster alerts.

[09:00]
Demonstration with OddsJam

Using OddsJam, the creator shows how to find and place an arbitrage bet on a rugby game, earning a small guaranteed profit. The example uses a small stake to illustrate the process.

Combining manual searching, synthetic arbitrage, and odds scraping software can help you find and capitalize on arbitrage opportunities effectively. Starting with free tools and gradually moving to paid services can increase your profits.

[00:02] thousand dollars before my accounts got restricted and in this video I will share three foolproof methods to find these lucrative Arbitrage bets as well with examples and make risk-free money doing so the three methods are manual

[00:15] searching in the right markets synthetic Arbitrage and odd scraping software the best thing about these three methods is that they can be used together as they find different types of Arbitrage opportunities therefore allowing you to

[00:28] maximize your profits by using all of them if you're not familiar with Arbitrage betting then go watch my video explaining it first and then come back to this one so the first way to find Arbitrage bets is through manual

[00:40] searching now you might have tried this method before and had no such luck which [Music] well that's because you don't know where to look so to find Arbitrage beds manually you need to understand why I

[00:55] would try to exist essentially they're just a form of sports books mispricings we can think of this as someone accidentally dropping money on the ground in this case the sports book and you're out there trying to look for it

[01:07] it's more likely they would have dropped that money and similarly they're also going to be places or markets where it's more likely they would make Sports Talk Miss pricings and Arbitrage opportunities would occur these are rare

[01:21] and they also disappear quickly once someone has found it and taken advantage Arbitrage bets across your popular sports markets like your head-to-heads for soccer games football games or NBA games but these will pretty much never

[01:35] have Arbitrage opportunities in them this is because the markets for these Sports have a lot of people betting in them they're very popular and as a therefore there's very unlikely to be any bookmaker missed pricings and

[01:48] therefore Arbitrage opportunities for you to take advantage of this means you should be looking for Arbitrage bets across markets where there's less betting volume for example smaller tennis tournaments second tier division

[02:00] football games or like college basketball or player markets in the NBA sportsbooks will know less and be less confident in their pricing and as such an Arbitrage bit additionally one other Market that I find a lot of success in

[02:14] Arbitrage person is in the Futures markets for example who's going to win the NBA championship or this particular football tournament a lot of the smaller bookmakers especially might be slow to update their odds after a significant

[02:27] odds of the features market and therefore give you an opportunity to there's going to be certain Sports books that just have terrible odds in general far below what the fair ride should be and as a result you're very unlikely to

[02:41] opportunities with them whereas there's very competitive pricing and they also make mistakes frequently which means opportunities to bet on from my experience in Australia what I found are

[02:56] the most profitable has been Sports books like coin spit and uni bit as these will have lots of different markets especially the markets with lower betting volume and their pricing is also very good which means sometimes

[03:08] opportunities on these platforms and that's reflected in my profit and loss on these bookmakers with the manual method you also want to be looking at a betting change which basically gives you the information of what the fair odds

[03:21] for a particular Market should be and therefore you'll be able to know if a Sportsbook mispricing has occurred this is much easier than using those online Arbitrage calculators which I think actually aren't that useful at all

[03:33] numbers each time just to look for an Arbitrage opportunity so it's very very slow and most of the time it's not going to exist so you're just wasting your much easier because you can see straight

[03:45] away if an Arbitrage opportunity exists or not basically if the bookmaker odds are higher than the exchange lay odds which means to bet against then this means an Arbitrage opportunity for that particular bet exists and you can see

[03:58] this straight away you can just just use the exchange to hedge away your risk by betting against that team to win for example in the Futures market and on the so they'll either win or they don't win there's no such thing as a draw in the

[04:11] covered a hundred percent of all the possible outcomes making lay bets on the exchange something that's very useful for covering Arbitrage beds across markets where there's more than two possible outcomes just make sure the

[04:24] difference between the bookmaker odds and the exchange layouts is significant going to be paying on the exchange which is generally five to ten percent you could also hedge with a bookmaker but in that case you're gonna get even worse

[04:37] odds in the exchange generally now it's a lot better than just going straight to a few bookmakers you have accounts with finding some odds and plugging limits and online Arbitrage calculator that's a complete waste of time this method of

[04:49] determine where you should be looking but it is still time consuming and some of the times you still won't find Arbitrage opportunities but the good news is that the Arbitrage opportunities you do find are different to the ones

[05:02] which finds different Arbitrage opportunities that you can also take advantage of so the second method of getting Arbitrage opportunities is what I like to call synthetic Arbitrage this is when you create Arbitrage

[05:15] opportunities by using sportsbooks promotions and offers and betting and hedging in such a way that you cannot lose the simplest form of this type of Arbitrage betting is called match betting which basically just takes

[05:27] advantage of the first deposit offers that sportsbooks give you when you first sign up to them Sports books might give you things like free bets or bonus bets withdraw but you can use that free vet or bonus bet to bet on event on the

[05:40] bookmaker and then bet against it like which is hedging on the exchange and therefore no matter what happens you've either turn your free BET Into Cash you the hedging account which is the betting exchange and therefore you've turned a

[05:54] free BET Into Cash you can withdraw risk-free another example is the ridiculous 101 one odd special betting promotion by that art on the FIFA World Cup 2022 which I use to create a synthetic Arbitrage that guaranteed a

[06:08] profit of one hundred and seventy dollars no matter what happened just from one bit and you can check out the details of exactly how I did it over on this video where I used the bookmaker promotion and a betting exchange to get

[06:20] mathematically the best possible payout no matter what happens as I don't want to be repeating myself again on this video how exactly you can create these synthetic Arbitrage opportunities really depends on the Sportsbook or bookmaker

[06:33] country and especially for the more complicated promotions it does require a bit more complicated mathematics and probability to mathematically calculate the expected value and hedge in such a way that you can guarantee yourself an

[06:47] Arbitrage and get the maximum Arbitrage out of it and that will take quite a few hours to explain so that's what I actually teach in my sports betting which is how to create the biggest synthetic Arbitrage opportunity using

[07:00] mathematical principles on the special bookmaker promotions offered in Australia New Zealand and also recently the United States and Canada and this is where I made the majority of my money from sportsbet the third method of

[07:12] finding Arbitrage bets is to use odd scraping software to find and bet on pure Arbitrage opportunities this method will help you take advantage of the type of Arbitrage bet where you bet across multiple Sportsbook accounts there are

[07:25] many types of Arbitrage betting software packages out there and most of these use some odd scraping data tool some of these are free and some of these are paid I'll recommend starting off with a free one or a free trial but the main

[07:37] consistently free is that they either restrict the number of bookmakers you the number of possible Arbitrage opportunities that exist therefore reducing the number of Arbitrage opportunities that you can see or there

[07:51] even though an Arbitrage opportunity is exists they might only show it to you 15 minutes later and by that point it's probably already God if we go back to our analogy of thinking of an Arbitrage bed as someone dropping money on the

[08:05] then this means the free Arbitrage betting software actually reduces your chances as it limits the places where you can look and also means someone else has probably found that money and picked it up before you even had a chance

[08:18] however there can still be worth a try especially if you're just using that free Arbitrage menu software to familiarize yourself with how our charge Arbitrage betting software and odd scrapers which has more features like

[08:31] more Sports books more markets and things like email alerts based on filters you've set which will alert you immediately to an Arbitrage opportunity the first to capitalize on this opportunity and basically be the one to

[08:45] instantly be alerted whenever someone drops money onto the ground you can be it up let's take a look at an example using today's video sponsor oddsjam oddsjam has the latest odds data across many bookmakers across the United States

[09:00] Canada Europe and now even Australia which is where I'll be doing the demonstration so here we're on oddsjam and we're looking at Arbitrage bets so here we can go to tools go to Arbitrage and you can refresh for opportunities

[09:13] and you can filter for sports books as well I won't do all Global support tools I'll just do all the Australian ones and I can say I want to be in the next seven days then I can see the best one right now is the New Zealand Warriors versus

[09:27] Sydney roosters game so I'll open up both Sports books at the same time so they now have both tabs open at the same time I want to find the right back so time I want to find the right back so this is roosters versus Warriors

[09:48] so you can see I'm just doing a very small amount as an example which is 2.45 on each side I've checked out the odds are correct 1.245.5 and that matches to what is stated on this so I make three

[10:03] cents in guaranteed profit if I bet more money obviously I could make more so if money obviously I could make more so if I were to do 245 then I make 2.88 if I were to do 600 and 135 I'd make a guaranteed 8.60 8.60 might not seem like

[10:18] a lot but it does add up in the long run for just a small amount of effort which is just pressing some buttons so that's how you can use the third method of Arbitrage betting software or odd scrapers to place bets on pure Arbitrage

[10:31] opportunities as an added bonus you can get an extended two-week free trial of odds Jam by one using the link in the description below and entering the code something from this video then make sure to give it a big thumbs up and then also
