Arbitrage
Lock in guaranteed profit by exploiting differences in bookmaker odds
Arbitrage betting (or “arbing”) is a strategy that takes advantage of differences in odds between bookmakers. When two bookies offer different prices on the same event, it’s sometimes possible to bet on both outcomes and guarantee a profit — no matter what happens.
For example, let’s say one bookie is offering $2.10 for Team A to win, while another offers $2.10 for Team B. If you stake the right amounts on each side, you’ll get back more than you risked — and that’s an arb.
Arbing works because bookies don’t always agree on the “true” odds of an event. These differences are usually small and don’t last long, but with the right tools, they’re easy to find — and they guarantee profit, regardless of the outcome.
Unlike other matched betting strategies, arbitrage betting doesn’t rely on bonuses. That means it can be used every day, on any sport, and even on accounts that have been promo-banned.
The catch? Bookies don’t like it. If they suspect you’re arbing, they’ll likely limit your stake or restrict your account. That’s why it’s important to choose your spots wisely, mix in other strategies, and stay under the radar.
Arbing isn’t for everyone — but if you’re looking for a mathematical edge with zero risk, this strategy delivers. Bonusbank gives you the tools and support to do it quickly, quietly, and profitably.
How Bonusbank Helps
Our ATM software scans odds from over 80 bookmakers and compares them to Betfair in real time. When a bookmaker’s odds are high enough to create an arbitrage opportunity, the ATM flags it — showing you exactly where to bet and what profit you can lock in.
Our Dutching software compares odds between different bookies rather than using Betfair. This opens up hundreds of extra arbitrage opportunities every day, especially on markets that don’t have great coverage on Betfair e.g. player props.
Inside our Discord community, you’ll find a dedicated arbitrage channel where members share live arbs, discuss techniques, and help each other stay ahead of the bookies. It’s also a great place to learn best practice from experienced arbers.
FAQs
Is arbitrage betting legal?
Yes — arbing is completely legal. You’re just placing bets at two different bookmakers. There’s no law against it. That said, bookies may limit or close accounts if they suspect arbing activity.
How much profit can I make from arbing?
Most arbs return 1–5% profit per bet. That might sound small, but with volume and consistency, it adds up fast. Our software finds hundreds of arbs every day, and placing each one takes just a minute or two.
Will my accounts get limited?
If you arb heavily and exclusively, it’s likely. But by mixing in other strategies, spreading your bets, and avoiding obvious patterns, you can reduce the risk. We provide tips to help keep your accounts alive longer.
Do I need a big bankroll to get started?
Not at all. You can start small and grow your bank over time. A larger bankroll gives you more flexibility, but even with modest starting capital, you can build consistent profits through arbing.
