How it works

When it's an arb

Add up each side's implied probability at the best price on offer. Over 100% (the normal case) and every outcome loses a little. Under 100% and the right stakes lock in a profit: +105 and +102 add up to 98.3%, a return of about 1.7% on the total staked.

The stakes

Each side's stake = total stake × its implied probability ÷ the market total, so every outcome pays the same. Rounding to whole dollars makes the payouts differ slightly; the profit shown is the worst case.

Every outcome

List every way the bet can settle. A spread or total with a whole-number line can push, and soccer moneylines have a draw; leave one out and the "arb" can lose.

The catches

Prices move, sometimes before your second bet is placed. Books can limit stakes, void bets on obvious errors, and restrict accounts that arb often. Check each book's rules first.
