What is a Surebet

Please note this is a brief explanation of what is a Surebet, and if you want to learn more about the topic, check out our comprehensive guide that covers everything from A to Z.

Surebet (Arbitrage, arb) is a situation from which regardless of the outcome of the event, the punter guarantees profit on their bet placed. Surebet is an opportunity that occurs due to market inefficiency and different odds being quoted by various bookmakers. Surebet opportunities can exist in many sports and betting markets, all you need is to be dedicated, fast, and prepared with a Sure Bet Calculator, which will calculate the amounts that you need to apply. Keep in mind that in some occasions the tipsters that you are following could provide Surebet tips, but you have to place them very quickly because the bookies are smart and once they notice unusual activity, the market or the odds will be removed.

Surebet Example

If you decide to use the Surebet strategy, you have to know that it could bring you steady profits with no or little risk. Our betting experience has proven that the strategy is profitable in the long term, and if you want to make incredible winnings for a few days, this approach is not yours.

However, in order to show how Surebet works, we would like to give you the following example, which was calculated by our Sure Bet Calculator.

Event – Roger Federer vs Novak Djokovic
Odds Federer to win on Unibet 2.10, odds Djokovic to win on William Hill 2.20.
Place one £10 on Federer to win on Unibet and £10 Djokovic to win on William Hill:
Total stake – £20
Potential wins Unibet – £21
Potential wins William Hill – £22

By placing a Surebet regardless of the outcome, we have guaranteed profit – if Djokovic wins we will make £2 and in case Federer wins we will make £1.

Of course, as with everything in sports betting, we should be careful about unexpected pitfalls. Bookmakers can in some occasions change their odds quite quickly so by the time you have placed your bet in bookie A the odds in bookie B may have changed and potentially cause you some serious financial damages. So our advice is to start with small stakes and gradually increase the amount of funds you place on Surebets.
