Arbitrage
Calculator.

Enter the odds for both sides of your bet and specify your stake for one side. The calculator will determine the recommended amount to wager on the other side. Calculated margins are not guaranteed — odds can change between placements.

Arbitrage betting (also called "arbing" or "sure betting") compares opposite outcomes across sportsbooks when odds discrepancies exist. Enter odds from two different sportsbooks and your stake to see the calculated hedge amount; odds can move, bets can be limited or voided, and user error can occur.

For this calculation to work, Side A and Side B must cover all mutually exclusive outcomes being hedged. Review the market rules carefully before placing any bet.

HOW THE CALCULATION WORKS

Arbitrage
math explained.

01

Implied Probability

The calculator converts each decimal odd into an implied probability and adds both probabilities together.

L = (1 ÷ Odds A) + (1 ÷ Odds B)
02

Arbitrage Check

If the combined implied probability is below 100%, the mathematical result indicates a candidate arbitrage at that moment.

L < 1.00 = candidate arbitrage
03

Hedge Stake

The hedge stake aims to match the payout on both sides, using the stake placed on Side A.

Stake B = Stake A × Odds A ÷ Odds B
04

Profit Margin

The calculator compares matched payout with the total investment to estimate profit and margin.

Profit = Payout − Total Investment
