Making A Million From Sports Betting And Trading – September Results

Making A Million

After a really good set of results in August.

I was looking to build on this in September and try to get over £100,000 in total profit before the end of 2020.

Let’s take a look at September’s results.

Sports Betting and Trading Challenge

Value Betting And Arbitrage (Matched Betting)

In terms of matched betting offers there is not a lot going on at the moment. Betfair exchange throw out a fiver a week and if you are not limited from Bet365 they still have the occasional decent offer.

The majority of my betting volume is in the form of value betting.

This is betting boosts, accumulator promos, extra places, single bets.

I am still betting at the exchanges where 0% throws up opportunities and also been looking at the Asian bookies and finding value.

(I have been using the Trademate Sports software this month. To gather results for an updated review of the software. This has contributed to the profits this month. It should be noted that I am running well above EV for this month and an 18% roi is not to be expected long term.)

Trademate Sports

When it comes to arbitrage I am hammering my limited accounts. Also I do find opportunities for in-play arbitrage and some small arbs between sharp bookmakers and betting exchanges.

A lot of people think that arbitrage betting is dead in 2020, however this isn’t true there is still money to be made.

Value Betting September

I made a total of 481 bets in August.

A total profit of £2106 was made.

Advantage Play – Casino Offers

On to the casino offers and all in all, this month was pretty average.

Mecca Bingo seem to be throwing out more offers then usual which is always good to see. Cashino were the latest to leave the UK market however won’t really miss them. As their reload offers tended to pretty poor.

Here is an epic bonus I had on Rainbow Riches Cluster Magic.

Haha exciting stuff right?

That’s pretty much advantage play in a nutshell. The majority of the time its very boring and then now and again you pick up a big win which makes it all worthwhile.

This month there were a few medium sized wins but nothing of note.

Casino Offer Results

During September I did exactly 150 offers.

A profit of £694 was made.

Sports Betting Results

My own betting was poor this month.

It is the same pattern that rears its head again and again, make money from MMA and lose it betting pre match football.

Below are my long term stats over the last 3 years.

(No sport equals live bets in both football and MMA)

Betting Results

I have written previously that I should stop betting football pre match. Whilst I still had a very small positive long term roi up until this month. It’s been steadily decreasing for a while.

I don’t give football enough attention to warrant betting it and should have cut it out completely a while ago. 

It’s a tough market to beat in general and to think I can just profit from it with a very brief analysis is pretty stupid on my part.

Time to knock these bets pre match football bets on the head finally.

This month I made 14 bets.

A total loss of -£555 was made.

Trading 

Trading has been ok this month with no real standout trades.

When I see something obvious in the market, I will open up a position. It doesn’t always go to plan but over the long term its been profitable.

Horse Racing Trade

Unfortunately with work, family life, value betting, casino offers etc.

I don’t have a lot of time to trade.

This month I have spent time looking at automation and bot services.

If anyone has any feedback on Mercurious or Exponential bet I would love to here from you either via email or in the comments.

In total I made £102 from trading this month.

 

Thoughts Going Forward

A solid month where a profit decent was made.

There is a part of me that is pretty content with just carrying on with what I am doing and making between £1k-£4k a month. But there is another part of me that wants to push on and see if I can make much more.

However to do that would mean increasing stakes and taking on more risk.

When it comes to matched betting, arbitrage and casino offers, I can’t really scale these much more.

If I want to up my staking levels. I have to look at value betting, my own personal betting and adding services which make money from the exchanges or sharp bookmakers.

Which would mean taking on more risk and variance. Probably meaning that I would endure more losing months and larger swings in my profit and loss.

Something that I need make a definitive decision on………….

At the end of this month I did start following a tipster called the Basketball Geek. Having followed this tipster for a few months for review purposes (Which I will write up in the next few days). I am confident that he is profitable long term.

Although I have issues with the way they record odds and the quoted odds they use for his results are not obtainable. He is a good tipster that beats the closing odds regularly and can be be followed using Asian bookmakers (not all selections however.)

Making A Million From Sports Betting And Trading – August Results

Matched Betting results

August was the month I had been waiting for.

Everything seemed to go right, I was on the right side of variance for casino offers and my own trading/betting went well.

At times this year I had questioned whether I should look at putting my time into other things.

This month though validated that if you have profitable methods and solid staking. Then so long as you put in the volume, the results will come eventually.

Sports Betting and Trading Challenge

Matched Betting – Sports Offers, Arbitrage, Value Betting

I did my usual matched betting, arbing and value betting with soft books and continued betting in the Asian markets.

Betting in the Asian markets has gone well the only annoying part is actually funding the account. This is due to fees using an ewallet and then fee’s that the broker I use has added to depositing and withdrawing.

However given there is no commission on bets, very tight margins and often superior odds then Betfair (after commission.)

It is still worth while, it just means that I have to avoid moving money in and out of the account to often. 

I will look at putting up a review of the broker that I use soon.

As I know betting in the Asian markets is something a lot of people are interested in. But much like myself have been or are still wary of using brokers.

Matched Betting results

I made a total of 377 bets in August.

A total profit of £1049 was made.

(This month I managed to negotiate a free one month trial of Rebelbetting’s value betting software. So if this interests you, use the link below. This software usually costs £61 a month.)

Advantage Play – Casino Offers

I had an interesting email this month. From someone that had lost money doing casino offers. They wrote that I fabricate my casino results and I actually work for bookmakers and casinos. Apparently all of the strategies are bulls*** and you will lose money doing any of them.

So yeah obviously that’s not true (no bookmaker affiliate is advising matched betting or arbitrage for example) and I think that most people that read this blog understand variance and advantage gambling in general.

But because of that exchange I have thought it wouldn’t hurt to add some more screenshots of doing offers this month and a video.

Just to show that I am actively doing casino offers and although you can lose money short term. In the long term there is still a massive edge doing these.

The video below is where I hit 20 free spins with a 10x multiplier doing £2 spins on Halloween Fortune.

I was pretty excited when this hit and thought that it could have lead to one of my biggest casino wins ever. If the casino gods decided to favour me.

You can see the result below.

So despite the casino gods not handing out a mega win on Halloween Fortune. I still ran very well on casino offers this month and a decent profit was made overall.

Last month I lost over £1000 pounds doing casino offers, so it was a good feeling to have a month where it flipped the other way.

Casino Offer Results

In August I completed 157 offers.

A total profit of £2439 was made. 

(Another deal I have for readers of this blog is a half price month with Bonus Accumulator. This is the service I use to highlight and exploit profitable casino offers. The link below will take you to my review of Bonus Accumulator. This will give you more information about the service and also give you the first month for half price.)

Sports Betting Results

Sports betting went well this month.

The biggest individual bet that I had was on Marlon Vera to beat Sean O,Malley in a UFC bout.

Again fortune favoured me this month as O’Malley’s leg gave out early in the fight (Due to a leg kick) and he folded pretty quickly after that.

This month I made a total of 20 bets.

A profit of £810 was made.

Below are the majority of bets made in August.

Sports Betting August

Trading

Trading also went well this month.

Not a huge amount of volume but I did some pre event trading on the UFC this month. Alongside a little bit of pre match football trading.

I ended up hedging the above for a profit across all outcomes just before the fight.

A total of £126 was made from trading.

Thoughts Going Forward

August was a really good month overall in terms of profit made. I am always mulling over adding new tipsters or services and I am still tracking results for a few that look promising.

However at the moment and with my venture into the Asian betting markets. I am happy to keep doing what I’m doing and reassess things in a few months time.

This month I put out a new video on Youtube which you can view below.

Youtube is something that I have not really focused on, I made a few videos just out of interest really to see how they would do.

But despite not really doing that much with the channel, it has grown organically. So in the future, I want to be more consistent with content output. Put videos out on a weekly basis and see where it goes.

My plan would be to also branch out of just creating content related to the sports betting markets but also talk about creating other income sources (this blog for example.) Then using these revenue streams to work towards financial independence and earlier retirement.

If any of that interests you, you can subscribe to the channel in the link below.

Making A Million From Sports Betting And Trading – July Results

July was a frustrating month at times but also a productive one as I found a new edge in the sports betting markets.

We are now into August and looking at my results I am way under last years profits.

Last year after 6 months I had made a profit of £19,549.

In 2020 after 6 months my profit for the year stands at £7152.

I haven’t really done anything different from last year so the disparity in profits is probably a lot to do with variance.

Obviously the Corona virus has also been a factor. I do think however that I have not really grown as a sports bettor/trader with my trading in particular not being great this year.

Anyway enough rambling let’s take a look at the results and see if a decent profit was made in July?

Sports Betting and Trading Challenge

Matched Betting – Sports Offers, Arbitrage, Value Betting

As I wrote earlier although at times this month was frustrating, I also found a decent edge in the markets.

This was in relation to arbitrage and value betting.

In July I spent lot of time betting with the Asian bookmakers and working out if I could find an edge in these markets which I did.

Also having access to Asian bookmakers opened up a lot more arbitrage bets which I took advantage of. I plan to write an article about how to bet with the Asian bookmakers and also will go into some of the value betting strategies that I found.

Value Betting Results

I made a total of 529 bets in July.

A total profit of £1473 was made.

The casino gods decided to flip the switch this month and for the most part it felt like I was just donating money.

On the last day of the month I managed to get a decent win to limit the damage.

However for the majority of the month it really did feel like I wasn’t allowed to win.

But if you are looking to make money from casino offers or sports betting for that matter. You have to accept that these losing runs are going to happen.

It’s beyond your control so there is no point in getting annoyed by it because its an inevitability that its going to happen.

In July I completed 142 offers.

Only 15 of my own personal bets were made in July.

At the end of the month a profit of £640 was made.

Sports Betting results 2

Misc

In this section I will include profit/loss from other methods that I don’t record in as much detail as the above. It gets added to my daily P/L but I don’t record them separately.

This included some trading that I do on the exchanges. Along with bets that I have made for tipster reviews. (I covered two of these tipsters here)

Once my children are back at school in September I do plan on spending much time sports trading. But at the moment my approach is a bit scattered. 

This month I made £135 in profit.

Thoughts Going Forward

Another month where profit was made but way below last year’s average.

On one hand I’m a little disappointed by how things have gone this year. But on the other I have spent a tonne of time with my family and taken way more days off.

A big part of being happy in life is about balance.

Having two young kids at home 24/7 since April does mean I have spent way less time in front of the computer then I normally would. 

However that’s time that I can easily get back when they are older and less likely to want to spent time playing “Tig” with the dad.

So ultimately even though at the end of the year I imagine profits are going to be much lower then last years total. It’s easy to become short sighted and think that this profit figure is more important then it actually is.

At the end of the day its only a number and nothing in my life will drastically change because of it.

Psychoff Betfair Trading Strategies – 4 Football Strategies

Psychoff Betfair Trading Strategies

Who Is The Sports Trader Psychoff?

Psychoff is almost a legendary figure among aspiring sports traders and bettors.

Appearing in the mid 2000’s on the sports trading forum Geekstoy.

Psychoff showed his ability to make money trading sports. Posting videos of his own Betfair account and the profits that he had been making. Sharing advice and snippets of information on how to trade successfully.

You can view the video of Psychoff’s profits here.

Psychoff Betfair Trading Results

 

However in 2010 Psychoff  disappeared from the sports trading community.

Leaving a goodbye message on his blog.

It seemed as though that would be the end of Psychoff’s communication with aspiring sports traders.

Disappearing into the real world, leaving us with a few snippets of what can be achieved if you really learn the betting markets.

Psychoff Returns

Psychoff Betfair Trading Strategies

For six years nothing was heard from Psychoff within the sports trading community.

Until unexpectedly Psychoff announced his return.

A national holiday was declared in Turkey, England and Ireland.

People stormed the streets chanting “Psychoff, Psychoff, Psychoff!”

Well maybe none of that actually happened. But in my head it was quite a big deal.

Anyway moving on……………………………….

Not only did Psychoff return but he started giving out free trading advice. 

Starting on twitter initially and then moving on to Discord. Psychoff shared his goal alerts and gave an insight into his own Betfair trading strategies.

Lets take a look at some of the football trading strategies that Psychoff has shared since his return.

Psychoff Betfair Trading Strategies

During the 2018 World Cup.

Psychoff gave out more insight into his football trading then ever before.

One of his most used live betting strategies was backing there to be 2 or more goals in the second half.

For example in the game between Russia and Egypt.

Russia were leading 1-0 and Egypt needed to score.

Psychoff Betting

Psychoff advised to back Over 1.5 goals and over 2.5 goals stating that these were value prices.

Russia ended up winning the game 3-1 and both bets were won.

Goals Change Games

From following Psychoff’s discord trading channel. This trading/betting strategy was used often in similar scenario’s.

“Goals change games” is a popular saying among arm chair football fans. But it is very true.

Often after the first goal a game will open up.

A tight first half that finished 0-0 can suddenly explode in the second half if a goal is scored early. As the losing team suddenly has to throw caution to wind and find an equalizer.

It seemed that some of the best value to found was in games where there was a low expectation of goals. Psychoff would often note that the price of odds wasn’t high enough in games where a lot of goals were expected.

Second Half Domination

When I first started this blog. I wrote about a football strategy I liked to use in the first half.

Titled the “domination” method.

From the trades that Psychoff shares it seems that he favours trades in the second half.

Over the course of the tournament Psychoff suggested backing a few teams that were dominating there opposition in the second half.

Teams that were maintaining possession, creating goal scoring opportunities and putting the opposition under great pressure.

Psychoff Betfair Trading Strategies

We saw this when England were dominating Tunisia in the second half whilst the score was 1-1.

England were backed at odds close to even and won 2-1.

While France were losing 2-1 in the second half to Argentina, but looked the stronger side.

France were backed at odds of 8.2, they eventually won 4-3.

In the Semi Final Croatia were losing 0-1 to England, however they started to take control of play and dominate the second half.

Croatia were backed at odds of 30.00, they equalised and Psychoff advised removing the risk. If Croatia went on to win the game a large profit would have been made.

As the game finished 1-1  no money was won or lost.

In all of these scenario’s there was one clear team dominating the match. Through watching live pictures of the game and analyzing the odds movement. Psychoff saw value in the odds at the time.

Trading With Live Pictures

Psychoff is a big advocate of trading with live pictures. On twitter when answering questions from followers.

Live Trading

He has stated that he doesn’t use in-play or pre match statistics very much. Preferring to find value through game flow and what he is seeing on the pitch.

Alongside his many years of experience in trading football matches.

This allows him to make consistent profits trading on football.

Scalping

During the 2018 world, Psychoff showed a few screens of his results from scalping.

Although he did not advise any scalping. Which given the in and out nature of scalping makes sense.

It would be difficult to advise the right timings to enter and exit the market.

He did highlight some of the best times for scalping.

For example when heavy favourites Germany were losing 0-1 to Mexico. 

Germany vs Mexico

With 10 minutes remaining the odds of another goal being scored remained around evens.

Often when there is an expectation that there will very likely be another goal the markets will stall. However as time ticks on and the goal does not arrive the market panics and the odds start to move extremely fast.

In these situations scalping can be very profitable.

Psychoff Goal Alerts?

Goal alerts have been Psychoff’s bread and butter trading advice since he arrived on social media.

These goal alerts are very simple and are a straight value bets without any trading needed.

Simply bet that there is going to be another goal in the game.

If you followed Psychoff on twitter and now follow him on Discord. Then it is likely you will have seen one of Psychoff’s goal alerts.

Goal Alert

Psychoff specializes in finding games where a goal late in the second half is more likely then the current odds imply.

Something that I have noticed is that most of the time there is only a 1 goal difference in the games (although not always.)

I wrote in the article laying the correct score tips that my preference for laying the correct score is when there is only a 1 goal margin.

Due to the fact that psychologically if you are only losing by one goal. A team is likely to go all out to find that equalizer. Where as if a team is a 2 or 3 goals down with 5 mins to play. They may conserve their energy and accept defeat.

What Psychoff has shown is with the right game selection there is money to be made from backing a late goal.

What can be learnt from Psychoff Betfair Trading Strategies.

It is not that often that you get to see how a top level sports trader trades.

But for a guy that has won over 7 figures on the sports betting markets. Psychoff is way more open about his edges then the majority of successful sports bettors and traders.

Price is everything

One thing that should be noted is that although Psychoff uses live pictures and reads game flow.

He didn’t advise trades for every game in the world cup.

There were often times where Psychoff would state that he couldn’t find value in a match. A few times he stated that he would like to open a position but the odds weren’t high enough.

Psychoff isn’t the worlds greatest “hunch bettor” there is still a technical process about his trading. Every successful sports bettor or trader, will tell you that is all about value.

If the odds don’t provide value then you simply don’t bet them.

Psychoff Picture
Psychoff sharing a pint with one of his twitter follows.

I will admit I love following Psychoff’s trading advice and profiting from it. But I get a bigger kick from learning how Psychoff operates in the betting markets.

There is a lot of value in looking at the methods Psychoff has shown he uses. Combining these methods with the likes of sports arbitrage betting and also matched betting should allow you to make decent profits from the sports betting markets.

If you are aspiring sports trader or bettor then you should really be following Psychoff.

Making A Million From Sports Betting And Trading – June Results

Making A Million

June was a good month.

It seems like things are getting back to normal and the return of regular sport was a welcome one.

I did miss it, its nice to have busy Saturday’s back where I’m firing off value bets everywhere and tallying everything at the end of the day. Might be the degenerate gambler side of me that still remains but I do like having lots of action on.

Horses, football, UFC I love it when the weekends are packed.

Anyway lets take a look at the results from June.

Sports Betting and Trading Challenge

Matched Betting – Sports Offers, Arbitrage, Value Betting

June saw the return of the Bet365 bet £50 get £50 in-play offer.

Which is one if not the best recurring matched betting offer that still gets thrown out from time to time. 

The Ascot horse racing festival was also in June and helped a poor start to the month turn around.

I made a total of 495 bets in June.

A total profit of £1247 was made.

I did nearly 100 less offers in June compared to May.

Which I was quite surprised about when I went over the results for the month.

Didn’t do many sign ups this month and the increase in sports probably was a factor.

As a result the month end P/L was solid without being spectacular.

During June I made 11 bets and made a total profit of £235.

Not much to say really other then I need to stake more on MMA betting (Which I stated in last months update but didn’t apply.)

I know that is where my biggest edge is and has been for a years. After using some of my bankroll for building work for my house. I have been overly cautious with my staking and that is something I need to address.

Misc

Looking at my day to day results and the one recorded here.

I am -£123 less, not sure why to be honest. At a guess it is probably from following a few unrecorded tipster bets.

Thoughts Going Forward

As things return to a more normal state.

I will look to resume with the services I was previously using, which were Trade On Sports and FTS Racing. Have also been tracking a few tipsters that look very promising in the past few months which should also be solid additions.

Have to admit have the kids at home 24/7 has lead to a less structured approach with my betting and trading. Personally I thrive on structure so things do seem a little scattered at the moment and is one of the reasons I haven’t done any trading.

However overall I am happy with this month’s results.

Making A Million From Sports Betting And Trading – May Results

Making A Million

Sports are gradually returning and things are looking up from a sports betting/trading perspective.

Again my main focus this month was on casino offers but the return of German football has been a welcome one!

Sports Betting and Trading Challenge

Looking ahead June promises the return of the Premier League along with other football. 

This brings more value betting opportunities and also matched betting opportunities which in turn should mean there is more profit to be made.

But for now let’s take a look at results from May in the ongoing making a million from the sports betting markets challenge.

Advantage Play – Casino Offers

Let’s start with where most of the profit came from in May.

In May I did 235 offers.

A total profit £1372 was made. 

Another solid month of profit from casino offers and I got the chance to check out a new service Bonus Accumulator, which I was impressed with. They highlighted pretty much all the offers that I been previously manually working out and seem on top of finding as much value as possible from casino offers.

So going forward that will be the service that I use to exploit casino offers.

Casino Offers May

If you are still not taking advantage of casino offers and interested in leaning more.

I have linked a video and article below which should be helpful.

Matched Betting – Sports Offers, Arbitrage, Value Betting

There were a few matched betting offers around and I managed to pick up some value bets.

Although it didn’t seem like the market was able to adjust to there being no crowd. So relying on the market price to indicate value might not have been the best idea.

You could see this as starting prices in football didn’t seem to mean much and there were massive adjustments made in-play after 10 mins in the match odds market.

During May I made 59 bets.

A loss of -£127 was made.

Sports Betting Results

In May I made a total of 24 bets.

A loss of £45 was made.

During May I had a look through my long term betting results as for the last year I have been a losing sports bettor.

I also delved deeper into my long term stats dating back to 2017.

Betting Results

From the graph I can see that I am performing well betting MMA and also in-play MMA/Football over the long term (This is shown as No Sport on Bettin.gs.)

Although the sample of bets isn’t huge it looks like my pre match football bets (red line on the graph) are not really making any money. 

It makes sense going forward to increase my bet size on Mixed Martial Arts and leave betting pre-match on football alone. I am very confident in my edge betting MMA markets but obviously football markets are a lot sharper.

Hopefully this change should see a decent profit made over the coming year.

Services

Previously I had been using Trade On Sport and FTS Racing. I won’t be using these services until sport resumes in normal form. Both are good services and I am confident long term they will be profitable but during this period I want to be cautious. 

My main focus is going to be on area’s that I am confident I have a large edge in ( Casino offers, mma betting, pre-match trading.)

Got to admit I have been pretty disappointed with results this year after doing really well last year, I hoped that momentum would continue.

However at the end of the day it is only betting and with everything that’s happened I should really be grateful for everything that I have already. For a lot of people that live on this world there is no opportunity to make money from the sports betting world. 

In fact there is very little opportunity for them at all.

Puts things into perspective, anyway moving on to June.

The return of the Premier League is sure to bring more matched betting offers to the table and should be some good pre-match trading opportunities.

Thanks for reading, hope you have a profitable June.

 

Ultimate Guide To Sports Betting Arbitrage – Make Thousands From Arbitrage Betting

The Ultimate Guide To Sports Betting Arbitrage

Is sports arbitrage betting the easiest way to make money from sports betting?

In terms of making extremely low risk and consistent profits sports arbitrage is a great way to make money.

Over my lifetime I have made thousands of pounds in profit from sports arbitrage and still use this strategy effectively to this day.

In this article I will detail my methods for staying under the bookmakers radar for as long as possible.

Also I will explain and show examples of how to secure huge profits winning both sides of a bet with minimal risk.

Ultimate Guide To Sports Betting Arbitrage

What are the key questions that surround sports betting arbitrage?

How do you make money from sports betting arbitrage?

Can you make a living from from sports betting arbitrage?

How can I stop getting limited from bookmakers when arbing? 

What is the best sports betting arbitrage software to use?

 

Lets answer these questions and take a deeper look at the world of sports betting arbitrage.

Sports Betting Arbitrage?

So first off what is sports betting arbitrage?

An arbitrage bet happens when we can back all of the selections in a sporting event and guarantee that we will make a profit no matter the outcome.

Sometimes this will happen with two bookmakers or sometimes with a bookmaker and a betting exchange.

Lets take a look at this with a simple example using the bookmaker Bet365 and the betting exchange Smarkets.

Ultimate Guide To Sports Betting Arbitrage

Bet365 are currently offering Dover at a price of 3.00

Whilst on the betting exchange Smarkets they are available to lay 2.96 

( A lay bet is the opposite of a back bet, it means if we wanted to win £100 we would risk £196)

Ultimate Guide To Sports Betting Arbitrage

In the above example you can see that should Lincoln win a profit of £200 pounds would be made on Bet365.

Should Lincoln win on Smarkets you can see a potential loss of £196 would be made.

In this example a Lincoln win would net us a profit of £4 whilst any other outcome would lead to £0 being won or lost.

Lets break down the outcomes.

Lincoln win –

  • £100 on Lincoln at 3.0 wins £200 on Bet365
  • £100 lay bet on Smarkets loses £196 

Lincoln lose –

  • £100 on Lincoln at Bet365 is lost
  • £100 lay bet on Smarkets is won

Profit On All Outcomes

One of the great things about sports betting arbitrage is that you can hedge your profit across all betting outcomes if you wish to.

Sometimes you may wish to win more on one outcome and put yourself in a no lose situation on the others.

It is really a matter of preference.

Lets take a look at if you wanted to hedge your profit across all outcomes on the arbitrage example given above.

 

Ultimate Guide To Sports Betting Arbitrage

(You get 0% commission at Smarkets, Matchbook and Betdaq if you are a member of Oddsmonkey.)

In the above picture you can see that you could guarantee yourself a profit of £1.35 across all outcomes for a £100 stake.

This may not seem like a huge amount of money but a 1.35% return over the course of a day is pretty amazing.

Not only that but this is only 1 arbitrage bet it is possible to make thousands of arbitrage bets also at higher stakes.

Also you can regularly find arbitrage bets of 5% or more which quickly adds up.

Ultimate Guide To Sports Betting Arbitrage

Arbing With Two Bookmakers

In the first example the sports arbitrage bet was made between a bookmaker and a betting exchange. 

You will often find arbitrage bets between two bookmakers and on rare occasions even arbitrage bets comparing two betting exchanges.

The process will remain exactly the same when betting with bookmakers.

Lets take a look at a few arbitrage bets when comparing odds between two bookmakers.

Free Arbitrage Software

So using Betburger’s free arbitrage finder that flags up arbitrage bets up to 1% you can see 4 arbitrage bets on football matches.

The Spain vs Malta arbitrage offers extra value being a middle bet however that is something I will discuss later.

This leads us on nicely to the next topic where to get started with sports betting arbitrage.

Getting Started With Sports Arbitrage Betting – Free Sports Betting Arbitrage Software

If your new to sports betting arbitrage you are probably going to want to test things first.

Make sure that you aren’t making any mistakes and get a feel for arbitrage.

Free sports betting arbitrage software does exist on the internet as shown above.

It normally however comes with limitations such as a cap of the arbitrage percentage (no more then 1%).

Usually there will also be a time delay on the bets shown. Which means that these bets may no longer exist as the odds have changed.

Rebelbetting and Betburger both offer great free arbitrage software which as explained has its limitation but is great for newcomers.

 

If you are quite new to sports betting then I would first suggest building up your bankroll through matched betting.

(My recommendation for matched betting is Oddsmonkey where you make good money exploiting bonus offers. Oddsmonkey also has a great oddsmatcher that is great for sports arbitrage bettors that are just starting their journey.)

Can Bookmakers Ban You From Doing Sports Arbitrage?

Unfortunately bookmakers can and will ban anybody that they don’t expect to make money from long term. 

The only exception to this are some of the Asian bookmakers that model their business on turnover rather then making money from recreational bettors.

However we will focus on betting with European bookmkers at the moment as no Asian bookmaker is able to offer their services to UK customers at the moment.

Limited Bookmkaer Accounts

So yeah it might seem a little unfair but bookmakers can limit your account or ban you entirely if they wish to do so.

However this should not put you off sports arbitrage as unless you are willing to lose money over the long run. It is inevitable that this will happen at some point.

Ok so can I disguise my arbitrage betting?

From my experience yes you can disguise your arbitrage betting for a period of time, lets take a look.

How To Stop Bookmakers Limiting My Betting Accounts 

In this section I will detail some of the strategies that I have used to keep my bookmaker accounts open for as long as possible.

New Accounts –

When you open a new account it is looked at closely by traders to determine whether it is recreational or not.

If you start arbitrage betting straight away on a new account it is not likely to last long. It is a good strategy to act like a recreational punter when opening a new account for at least a month. 

Make a few accumulator bets or bet on secondary markets like the first goalscorer or correct score market. Often this will allow you a greater lifespan on your account for arbitrage betting in the future.

Avoid Obscure Leagues –

If you start betting arbitrage bets on Moldovan second division football or women’s rugby. It is very likely that you will find yourself getting limited.

Sticking to the big football leagues, major boxing matches and big American sports is normally much better for your accounts life span.

Arbing Obscure Markets

Mix up your markets –

Bookmakers employ traders to look for accounts that will make money. 

When a trader see’s an account that for example is constantly betting on horse arbitrage bets they will likely limit that account.

I try not to make it easy for trader’s and leave an obvious pattern of arbitrage bets.

One bet may be on rugby, another on boxing. I will throw an arbitrage bet into an accumulator with selections that are 0% or slightly negative to try and disguise it.

The next bet I might make could be an arbitrage bet as low as 0.2% on secondary market that is unlikely to stand out as straight arbitrage bet.

Can I Lose Money From Sports Arbitrage Betting?

There are a few ways in which you might lose money when sports arbitrage betting.

Mistakes –

We are all human and we all make mistakes. You may see an arbitrage bet and take the wrong side or even bet on a different event by accident.

Sometimes teams play multiple matches in a week so this could happen. You may accidently stake the incorrect amount on a selection.

Palpable Errors –

Palpable errors are a get of jail card for bookmakers. It means if they make a big mistake and for example offer odds of 5.0 for a selection that is around 3.0 everywhere else.

They can claim it was an error and void a bet.

This means that you should always be very wary if you see for example an arbitrage bet of 10% or more as this could be a palpable error. Which in turn could lead you lose money if the bet was voided.

Lets move on to talking about middle bets which are pretty awesome.

Sports Arbitrage Middle Bets

Sports Arbitrage Middle Bets 

So what is a middle bet?

A middle bet is when a two bookmakers or betting exchanges (any combination) offer a opportunity where both bets could win should a certain scenario occur.

On other occassions a middle bet will allow us to get money back on one bet and profit on the other.

What do I mean by this?

The majority of bookmakers and exchanges offer handicap bets on a number of sports.

Sports Arbitrage Middle Bets

For example here we can see that Bet365 offer odds of 1.95 on France -4 goals.

Lets break down how a handicap bet such as this works.

France win by more then 4 goals – bet is won

France win by 4 goals exactly – bet is void

France win by less the 3 goals – bet is lost

Now lets say for example that we could back Moldova +5 goals on the William Hill at 2.06.

We stake £100 on France at 1.95 on Bet655, along with a £95 bet on Moldova +5 goals at William Hill.

The game plays out and France win by 5 goals.

£100 at odds of 1.95 on France -4 pays out at £95 profit

£95 at odds of 2.06 on Moldova +5 is returned

A total profit of £95 is made from zero percent risk.

In a sport such as basketball or rugby you can often find middle bets seperated by several points.

For example you may have one side at -15 and the other side at +18 which allows for both bets to win.

Middle bets are an extremely powerful sports betting strategy that allow you the chance for large profits with minimal risk.

Middle Bet Live Example

Sports Arbitrage Middle Bets

At Leovegas I could back Lyon in the regular time market. (Note this market says it will pay out at half the odds in the case of a draw.

Sports Arbitrage Middle Bets

At Betfair I was able to lay Lyon (bet that they do not win) at lower then 3.15.

This gave me a normal arbitrage bet but also gave me a bet that would win on both Leovegas and Betfair should the match finish as a draw.

Live Sports Arbitrage Betting

Middle bets are pretty cool right?

Lets look at another advanced strategy to make money from the world of sports betting arbitrage.

Live sports arbitrage betting.

So the concept is exactly the same as pre-match arbitrage.

We are looking for markets where we can cover every outcome of an event and guarantee ourselves a nice profit in the the process.

However there are pros and cons of live arbitrage betting that I will go through.

Pros And Cons Of Live Arbitrage

The Cons Of Live Sports Betting Arbitrage

Odds move quickly in live betting and that is the biggest factor you need to be aware of with live betting.

If you are not careful you could find yourself in situation where you could lose money if don’t react quickly enough.

Be aware of goals, points being scored , there are situations that can cause a large change in the odds which could have a negative effect on your bet. (It should be noted that sometimes these factors will also have a positive outcome.)

There are delays in accepting live bets with the majority of bookmakers and exchanges.

Again delays mean that odds can change before a bet is accepted and put you in a negative situation rather then a positive.

The Pros Of Live Sports Betting Arbitrage

Live arbitrage is not easy!

Why is this a positive?

Most people aren’t doing it and you can fly under the radar of a bookmaker a lot longer then if you were pre-match arbing.

There is more opportunity in live arbing when compared to pre-match arbing.

In-play betting markets are dynamic and constantly changing, minute by minute the odds have to adjust.

In order for there to be no opportunity, the betting markets all across the world would have to be perfectly synchronized.

Which they aren’t.

This offers so much opportunity for live arbitrage betting. 

So with live arbing there is more opportunity and you will often find that on average you can get on bigger arbitrage bets which makes the added risks worthwhile.

Tips For Live Sports Betting Arbitrage

5 Tips For Live Sports Betting Arbitrage

Start Small 

Given the added risks of live sports arbitrage you should bet a smaller amount of your bankroll in case something goes against you.

For example you might only want to bet 5% of your bankroll whilst in pre match arbitrage you can better higher.

Learn The Markets

See how long in-play betting delays are with each bookmaker, which bookmakers are offering the most opportunity. Which sports flag up the most arbitrage bets?

Focus On Break Periods 

If you want to limit the risks associated with live arbitrage betting. Focus on betting at half time, the end of a set in tennis, in between rounds in boxing.

Manage The Risk

Accept that sometimes things will go against you but also know that sometimes you will benefit form events.

If taking an arbitrage bet on the over/under 2.5 goals market in football. A good idea is to take the over bet first. As if a goal is scored when you are entering your bet on the under position your are going to be in a profitable position.

Put In Volume 

For live arbitrage you will need software such as betburger.Live arbitrage software is not cheap so you need to offset this by putting in a decent amount of volume.

As stated there is a tonne of arbitrage opportunities especially at weekends. Putting in the time and volume will allow you make a decent profit and cover your subscription.

Can I Make A Living From Sports Arbitrage

Is it possible to make a living from sports arbitrage?

Yes it is certainly possible.

From spending years on sports arbitrage forums I know some individuals that have made huge sums from sports arbitrage. 

There would be two ways that you could achieve this.

Do you have access to almost an unlimited number of betting accounts?

Can you make arbitrage bets in a way that the bookmaker cannot detect?

If the answer to either of these question is yes, then you can probably make a great living from sports betting arbitrage.

 

Shop arbitrage (sharbing) is also something that you could consider if you live in a country with betting shops. 

I have heard stories of people making a living entirely from sharbing in the past.

From my experience I have been able to make a full time income from the sports betting markets.

You can read about the strategies I use here.

However I do not rely solely on arbitrage betting.

So there are a few roadblocks in the way of making a living from arbitrage betting.

This however should not stop you from making a large amount of money from sports betting arbitrage should you wish.

The Best Sports Arbitrage Software

In order to really make the most of the opportunities that sports arbitrage betting produces you will need some software.

There are a few key factors that you need to consider when looking at sports arbitrage software.

Bookmakers 

First of all you need to make sure that the software you choose to use supports the bookmakers you have available to you.

Speed 

Arbitrage bets appear and disappear due the changing odds across bookmakers and betting exchanges. The best sports arbitrage software will notify you of these changes as quickly as possible alerting you to a possible arbitrage situation.

Markets 

There are hundreds of different betting markets. The best sports arbitrage software is able to find cross market arbs across different bookmakers.

Cost 

When considering which sports arbitrage software you want to use. You need to consider how much money you have yourself to invest?

How much time you are going to have for arbitrage and how much can you expect to make per month after the subscription cost is included?

I have tested the majority of the available sports betting arbitrage software.

For me there are a few that stand out among the rest.

Free Arbitrage Software

Making A Million From Sports Betting And Trading – April Results

So the lock down continues, with very little sport going on.

There is still football in Belarus and Nicaragua, horse racing from Australia and America.

However opportunities have been few and far between this month with casino offers being really the only way to make some profit this.

Sports Betting and Trading Challenge

May does look like it might improve on a sporting front. 

The UFC are running 3 events this month, Bundesliga could return. Looks like the Korean football league will be going ahead.

So there should be some more opportunities for matched bettors, sports traders and value bettors.

Hopefully things will return to some sort of normality in the near future.

Speaking of normality on to the monthly results.

(If you prefer video, I did an update this month on Youtube)

Advantage Play – Casino Offers

In April I did 213 offers.

A total profit of £1022 was made.

Not a lot to comment on really.

Did quite a few reload offers and 10-20% cashback offers. Unibet and Betvictor have been pretty generous this month with low risk/low value offers.

Happy with the results and the volume.

Opportunities still might be quite limited in the near future however at the end of the day this challenge of mine is pretty irrelevant with everything going on right now.

There are and will be a lot of people struggling with a variety of issues going forward. 

So on that note keep safe and thanks for reading.

 

Making A Million From Sports Betting And Trading – March Results

Making A Million

March 2020 what a month.

At the beginning of this month things were pretty normal. There was a bit of a worry about this virus in China but there has been rumblings of this type of pandemic before. 

And it never happened.

However by the end of March it all became pretty real. 

My own approach has been to try and carry on as normal as possible. 

Which means the monthly update is due, Lets take a look at March’s results.

In the making a million from sports betting and trading challenge.

 

Sports Betting and Trading Challenge

Matched Betting – Sports Offers, Arbitrage, Value Betting

Its pretty crazy to think that Cheltenham happened at the beginning of this month.

Feels like a long time ago now.

Although Irish racing did carry on for a little while there wasn’t much to bet on by the end of the month.

So despite Cheltenham it wasn’t a huge month for me although results were still pretty solid.

In March there were 351 matched betting offers and value bets.

A total profit of £700 was made.

Services Used

Oddsmonkey (Read The Review)

Bookie Bashing

Advantage Play – Casino Offers

Next up is casino offers.

Which is probably going to be my only focus until we get some news on sport returning.

I did think with pretty much all sports being cancelled we might see an influx of decent casino offer. If I am honest though I haven’t seen a huge difference. There does seem to be a few more lower value offers coming up though.

In March I did 200 offers.

A total profit of £1378 was made.

If your interested in profiting from casino offers I put up two new pieces of content this month.

Sports Betting Results

There has been a pretty clear pattern emerging with my sports betting results.

That pattern is that I am losing pretty consistently.

I don’t bet a lot of volume and it could just be that I am running bad (which is what I want to think.)

Or could be that I am losing my edge on the markets that I was beating pretty consistently in previous years.

This month I made 10 bets.

A loss of -£730 was made.

Trade On Sports

Short month for the Trade On Sports service.

Currently my subscription to this service is on hold until football and tennis resume.

Lets take a look at the results from the 2 systems that I currently follow.

Staking £50 per selection.

Tennis Results – 4 selections in January, a profit of £223 was made.

Staking £102 per selection.

Inplay Football Results – 4 selections a profit of £88 was made.

Total – £311

FTS Racing

After a really poor February I was hopeful that FTS Racing might find some form in March.

Unfortunately it was another bad month for FTS racing which got cut short due the cancellation of racing.

After losing £885 last month this was a bit of a kick in the balls.

But I know that these draw downs can happen in betting although I can recognise it can happen it still stings a little.

FTS Racing Results – -£584

Trading

Traded very little this month with football being abruptly stopped.

Managed to get a few trades on at Cheltenham when I thought there were a few obvious opportunities where the risk vs reward ratio was very good.

A profit of £163 was made from my own trading.

Whilst things were quiet this month I got a chance to read the new cricket trading guide released by Caan Berry.

For a while now I have been thinking about trying to automate more of my betting.

In my 20’s I was fine which grinding out day after in front of the computer. Now though in my 30’s and with a young family I feel like to want invest less time in front of the computer.

So when sport does return that is going to be a focus of mine.

The current lock down has given me a lot of time with my kids and I do realize that whilst they are young and enjoy spending time with me. I really should make the most of that.

Because I know that if future years that’s probably not going to be the case.

How did your betting/trading go in March and how do you plan on going forward when this is all done with?

In this review we will be taking a look at the newly published cricket trading guide.

Being a complete beginner to cricket trading I also asked a friend of mine (Luke) who regularly trades cricket for his input.

Throughout this review I will include Luke’s thoughts about various aspects of the guide.

Who Wrote The Cricket Trading Guide?

This trading guide is not written by Caan Berry himself, it is written by a professional cricket trader that has known Caan for a number of years.

Throughout the guide he is referred to as Mr X.

The writer of the guide states that he wanted to keep his personal details secret as at times he still takes advantage of live time delays. Which is similar to the advantage live “courtsiders” have in tennis.

He would still like to maintain this edge in the market and believed that giving out his details could harm this.

Caan Berry Cricket Trading Guide Results
Some results shared by Mr X

Luke’s Thoughts

I was kindly asked by Ryan, to read and review the cricket guide by Mr X. After agreeing I looked forward to it as cricket guides in the trading world are a premium.

Being a bit of a skeptic I thought surely there wouldn’t be too much given away.

After reading the guide I was pleasantly surprised.

I am a cricket trader and have been for over 8 years now, it isn’t my sole sport but one I have a natural interest in.

Is The Cricket Trading Guide Suitable For Beginners?

Being a complete beginner of trading cricket on Betfair I read through the guide without knowing a whole lot prior.

The guide is well written and easy to follow.

The guide starts with “10 Crucial Factors” you need to assess when your planning to trade a cricket game. This was a great introduction to cricket trading and really hammered in some of the fundamental factors that you need to consider before trading a game.

After that the guide goes on to more specific strategies.

One surprising element to me was how much information the author of this guide gave away about his own strategy.

Cricket Pitch

For example stating the apps he uses to check weather conditions.

He also reveals throughout the book his strategies on  how to exploit mug punter money, in the case of cricket this money comes mostly from India.

Another factor that really impressed me was the amount of data that the author gave away throughout this guide.

This really helps to hammer home why certain strategies would work.

Luke’s Thoughts

Mr X actually states that to use this guide to it’s fullest potential. You do need to understand the game of cricket.

That means knowing the rules within the game.

Is it an easy thing to do for someone with no knowledge of cricket?

No, it does take time and you will have to watch several matches in order to develop your understanding.

The author states that this isn’t like horse racing. It is a more complex market to understand however there is great opportunity within the cricket markets.

Cricket Trading Guide Tips

If you don’t have much experience with the sport of cricket it doesn’t make the guide completely pointless, in fact it does the opposite. When you begin to understand the game, this guide gives you some routes to really focus on.

Cricket is here to stay, the money is growing and edges are changing.

This guide is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to trade the cricket markets.

Any negatives to report?

Honestly this guide is extremely thorough. I felt that it covered every aspect of cricket trading that I could imagine and more.

The only real negative that I have is that it is electronic and you can’t print it out.

I understand that this is done to protect the product and the information contained within it.

However some people may prefer the option of printing it out so that they can read it away from a computer or phone screen.

Luke’s Thoughts

Are there aspects that don’t appeal?

Similar to you I think maybe the concept of it being electronic.

If you are wanting to implement this very useful tool then it’s most likely you want to run through segments whilst in the market.

This is where hard copy options really are a worth that little bit more. Being able to annotate if you are like me, or just reading through can be an advantage, but I am splitting hairs.

Caan Berry Cricket Trading Guide Review – Positives

The guide consists of 79 pages.

I stated earlier that it is well written and from the perspective of a cricket trading beginner it was jam packed with value. 

There were clear strategies outlined in the guide. Perhaps more importantly there is also a lot of data shared within the guide to back the strategies up.

When you purchase the guide you don’t just get access to a trading manual but also you get the same data the author of this guide has used to successfully make thousands from the cricket markets.

You get Indian Premier League Data which is categorised into:

  • Ground Statistical Data
  • IPL 2017 ,2018, 2019 Data
  • Overall Analysis
Ireland Profits
Make informed trading decisions with good data.

Along with Big Bash League Data which is categorised into:

  • Ground Statistical Data
  • BBL 2017, 2018, 2019 Data
  • Overall Analysis

The guide explains how to use this data effectively to make profitable cricket trades.

Luke’s Thoughts

What’s impressive about it?

I think first, he provides data sheets for previous tournaments namely IPL and BBL.

These are very liquid competitions that will hold relevance going forward. Secondly if you are a novice, you really do want to follow his advice on money management, and psychology.

Perhaps the biggest thing to take note of was his professionalism.

This is what really sets the profitable from the unprofitable. The amount of work he does up front through using social media, to highlighting key players and devising plans.

If you are looking to be a profitable cricket trader then imitation of Mr X would be a pretty solid start.

Betfair Cricket Trading Graphs

Perhaps you are an experienced trader with a particular niche strategy?

Mr X might give you some ideas on how to scale what you are doing or open your eyes to a new strategy.

If you have no idea where to start. Mr X shows you some quick ways to get to work, giving you enough scope to develop your own set of skills.

Overall it was encouraging to see Mr X write with such openness about the edges within cricket.

I believe when a trader or novice trader buys a guide, they want to be enlightened. To expect at the very least a few new aspects to take away with them.

I really believe that this cricket guide delivers over and beyond what most will expect.

Conclusion

After reading the guide I was very impressed with the overall depth of and quality which is provided throughout.

The added confirmation of this guides quality from an experienced cricket trader (Luke) gives me no hesitation in giving the cricket trading guide a recommendation.Caan Berry Cricket Trading Guide Price

The guide is very affordable at a price of £45.

There is additional support after purchasing the guide along with access to a community of like minded traders.

All in all Mr X (whoever that is) has produced an excellent trading education product which is in line with the other excellent products Caan Berry has produced.

The Cricket Trading Guide gets top marks from me.
