Sure Bet Matches

Can you make a profit from Betting?

When the shown odds on different Online Sports Betting Websites vary significantly and for the same event, you can make a certain profit whatever the outcome of the event is. How? Simply by betting on all possible outcomes when applying the following formula:

1/Odds 1 + 1/ Odds 2 +…. + 1/ Odds n < 1

Football Sure Bettibg Example:

Sure Bet: Newcastle vs Bolton Wanderers football match

The following odds are given:

 1/1.9 + 1/3.4 + 1/6 = 0.987 < 1

You can make a certain profit of 2.45 euros whatever the outcome of the match by betting 100 euros on Newcastle with Bookmaker A, along with 55.88 euros on Bolton and 31.67 euros on a drawn match with Bookmaker B:

Match Results if Newcastle win:

• Bookmaker A: Profit = 100 × (1.9-1) = 90 Euros 
• Bookmaker B: Loss = 55.88 + 31.67 = 87.55 Euros 
• Total profit = 90 – 87.55 = 2.45 Euros 

Match Results in a draw:

• Bookmaker A: Loss = 100 Euros 
• Bookmaker B: Profit = 55.88 × (3.4-1) – 31.67 = 102.45 Euros 
• Total profit = 102.45 – 100 = 2.45 Euros 

Match Results if Bolton wins:

•  Bookmaker A: Loss = 100 Euros 
• Bookmaker B: Profit = 55.88 × (3.4-1) – 31.67 = 102.45 Euros 
• Total profit = 102.45 – 100 = 2.45 Euros

  1/1.7 + 1/2.6 = 0.97< 1

How do you identify a Sure bet?

The odds change so quickly and the numbers of sporting events and bookmakers are so huge that it is extremely difficult, if not virtually impossible, to spot a sure bet without help.

There are many sites that offer odds comparators (free services) or email alerts (subscription services) when a Sure betting opportunity arises.

Free odds comparisons are useful tools for betting at the highest odds if you have accounts with many sports betting sites. However, don’t hold out any hope of using them to find an arbitrage account in sporting events: Bookmakers are very quick to adjust and adjust their odds when they don’t match!

The only services that give you a real chance to place a Sure bet are email alert services. They will send you an email as soon as they discover a Sure bet and can provide thousands of such alerts every day.

To justify the cost of email alert services and take advantage of these rare opportunities, you need to:

• Possess approved accounts with several bookmakers.
• Have a fast internet connection, keep track of what’s happening online, and perform your transactions and transfers instantly!
• Check the maximum stakes you can bet with each bookmaker before performing an arbitrage.
• Check the bookmakers’ rules: There are different rules for some sports, especially tennis.
