Arbitrage Betting Explained
Arbitrage is a term used to describe a guaranteed position of profit which can arise through backing each outcome of an event at favourable odds. For example, if you were able to back both players at 11/10 to win a tennis game, then you are in a position of winning 5% on your money no matter who wins. Arbitrage also applies when a price is taken from a bookmaker, say a horse at 4/1, and is laid off on the exchanges at a shorter price, say 4.50, to again guarantee a small profit.
In reality Arbitrage opportunities are increasingly difficult to find and manage. Prices change rapidly; bookmakers restrict stakes and even rule differences between sites mean that the process is not the guaranteed profit some would have you believe.
