Odds are entered in decimal format. Use the odds converter for American or fractional prices. Results are estimates for planning, not advice.

How it works

Add the implied probabilities (1 ÷ odds) of the best available price on each outcome. If the total is below 100%, backing every outcome in the right proportions returns more than you staked, whatever happens.

Worked example

At 2.10 and 2.05 the total is 96.4%. Splitting 100 as 49.40 and 50.60 returns 103.73 either way: a 3.73 profit.

Reality check

True arbitrage is rare and short-lived. Prices move while you place the second bet, stake limits bite, and bookmakers restrict accounts that do it routinely. Different rules for voided bets between two books can also turn a sure thing into a loss, so read the settlement rules first.
