The math of a sure bet, done for you.
Arbocado is sports betting arbitrage software. It finds markets where sportsbooks disagree on price far enough that backing every outcome returns more than you stake, then sizes each leg to the dollar.

How Arbocado finds and sizes a bet.
No predictions and no picks. The same four steps on every market.
Scan
Pull current odds for the same markets across the books and exchanges in your state, live and pre-game.
Detect
Add up the implied probabilities of every outcome at the best price. Under 100% is an arbitrage.
Size
Stake each leg so every outcome pays the same, rounded to amounts that look natural to a sportsbook.
Place
Place the legs yourself with Basic, or let Pro fill each slip and re-size if a line moves. You confirm every bet.
How the profit is calculated.
No predictions and no picks. An arbitrage profit comes from two sportsbooks disagreeing on price, and the math is the same every time.
The formula
- 1. Check for an arb. Add up 1 ÷ decimal odds for every outcome. If the total is below 1 (100%), backing every side returns more than you stake.
- 2. Size each leg. Stake on an outcome = total stake × (1 ÷ its odds) ÷ the total from step 1. Every outcome then pays the same amount.
- 3. Read the margin. Locked-in return = 1 ÷ the total from step 1, minus 1. Most real arbs land between 1% and 3%.
Worked example: $100.00 on a two-way market
- Team A at Book 1: odds 2.10 (+110), implied 47.62%. Stake $48.78, pays $102.44 if it wins.
- Team B at Book 2: odds 2.00 (+100), implied 50.00%. Stake $51.22, pays $102.44 if it wins.
- Implied total: 97.62%, under 100%, so it is an arb.
- Profit either way: $2.44 (2.44% of $100.00).

What can go wrong with an arbitrage bet?
An arbitrage bet locks in a profit only when every leg is placed at the odds you took and every bet stands. These are the risks that remain:
- The odds move before your second bet. If a line changes between legs, the margin can shrink or turn into a small loss. Arbocado re-sizes on the spot, but speed is the main defense.
- A book voids a bet. Sportsbooks can cancel a wager they consider a pricing error (a palpable error), leaving the other leg unhedged.
- Books settle the same market differently. Rules for overtime, retired players, or postponed games vary by book, so two sides that look opposite may not settle that way.
- Stake limits and account restrictions. Books may cap your maximum bet or limit accounts that bet arbs, which caps how much you can put through over time.
- Money spread across books, and taxes. You need funded balances at several books, withdrawals take time, and winnings may be taxable where you live.
Arbocado is software that finds and sizes bets. It is not financial advice and does not promise any profit. For adults of legal betting age where sports betting is permitted. If gambling is a problem for you, call 1-800-GAMBLER. See responsible play and our guide to avoiding sportsbook limits.
