How Does ArbitUp Work?
Step by step process of arbing it up: from finding the opportunitiy to placing the bets.
Analyze. Bet. Win. Restart.
The simple steps to arb it up and start winning.
1. Check Dashboard
The dashboard displays arbitrage opportunities our platform has found across numerous sportsbooks.
Let's choose one specific opportunity we'd like to complete (highlighted in the image).
2. Calculate Stakes
ArbitUp automatically calculates the optimal amount to bet on each side of an event using the identified odds (e.g., Team A on Bookmaker 1, Team B on Bookmaker 2). This calculation ensures your profit is mathematically locked in, regardless of the outcome of the actual event.
The calculated stakes are based off the total amount of money you want to wager across all bookmakers. The higher the amount, the more profit you can make. However, be sure to check the maximum bet limits for each bookmaker before placing your bets.
Let's record the stakes we need to place on each event for the selected opportunity (highlighted in the image).
3. Execute the Bets
Log in to the respective sportsbook accounts (e.g. Bookmaker A & Bookmaker B) and navigate the platform to find the relevant event. Verify the odds for that event match what's shown on the ArbitUp dashboard.
Since they match in our case (see the highlighted section), let's continue and select these odds.
4. Confirm Bets
Insert the calculated stakes for corresponding side of the event and bookmaker. Once everything is set, place the bet!
5. Sit Back & Profit
Profits Locked In
Once both bets are placed and confirmed correctly, your profit is mathematically locked in. Watch the game (or don't!) - the outcome doesn't matter for your arbitrage earnings.
Best Arbitrage Practices
Maximize your success and minimize risks with these tips.
- Act Quickly: Arbitrage opportunities can disappear fast as odds change. Be prepared to place your bets as soon as you identify an opportunity.
- Verify Odds: Always double-check the odds on the bookmaker's site before placing a bet. They can change from what's displayed on an arbitrage platform.
- Manage Your Bankroll: Start with smaller amounts until you're comfortable with the process. Never bet more than you can afford to lose, even with arbitrage.
- Understand Bookmaker Limits: Be aware of maximum stake limits on different sportsbooks. This can affect how much you can wager on an arbitrage opportunity.
- Stay Under the Radar: Arbitrage is essentially beating the house, and sportsbooks don't like it. Avoid consistently betting unusual amounts or only on obscure markets. Mix in regular bets if possible. Frequent, large arbitrage bets can lead to account limitations or closures.
- Keep Records: Track your bets, profits, and any issues you encounter. This helps in managing your finances and learning from experience.
