Spread Betting Arbitrage
Arbitrage Spread Betting is a guaranteed type of betting on which the gambler is performing a similar bet with two different bookmakers providing different odds which will eventually guarantee a profit regardless of the result of the bet.
A spread betting arbitrage usually have an account with many bookmakers or financial spread betting services in order to have as many possibilities for a single bet as possible.
How it is done
The way arbitrage spread betting is done is basically choosing a specific bet, if we take financial spread
betting for the example and we choose the oil price as the bet type and we choose 2 financial spread betting services:
Service A: Offers a spread of 69 – 72 as the oil price (in USD).
Service B: Offers a spread of 65 – 68 as the oil price (in USD).
The bet will be placed with identical amount on the same bet with the two different services whereas it doesn’t matter how the bet ends, one will lose and one will win but the profit will cover for the loss of one of the bets and make the bettor a nice profit.
Arbitrage betting requires a lot of preparation work, knowing the odds in several bookmakers before placing the bet and of course managing active betting accounts in various sports books or financial spread betting services.
A spread betting arbitrage is a bettor who takes no risks when placing a bet. Always counting on sure bets and a guaranteed profit.
The bookmakers and financial spread betting services don’t like the spread betting arbitrage, they prefer the traders who place bets based on guts feeling. It’s actually difficult to be a spread betting arbitrage as the services usually coordinate the odds and by doing so they prevent the spread betting arbitrage from doing whatever he pleases.
