Advanced Arbitrage Calculator

How to Use This Calculator
This Arbitrage Calculator helps you determine if you can distribute your total stake across different outcomes (games, matches, events) to guarantee a profit regardless of the result. Simply enter the odds, choose your preferred format, and adjust the total stake. The calculator instantly shows the amount to stake on each outcome.
General Tips
- Verify odds carefully: ensure the odds are accurate before placing bets.
- Use the slider to experiment with different stake sizes and see how your distribution changes.
- Watch for changes in odds: if the lines move, recalculate to confirm whether the arbitrage still holds.
- Fractions or American odds automatically convert to decimal for internal calculations.
Examples
Below is a simple table demonstrating a two-outcome arbitrage scenario:
| Outcome | Odds (Decimal) | Recommended Stake | Potential Return |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outcome 1 (e.g. Team A wins) | 2.10 | $52.63 | $110.52 |
| Outcome 2 (e.g. Team B wins) | 1.80 | $47.37 | $85.27 |
In this scenario, the total stake is $100, and regardless of which team wins, you should end up with over $100 for a profit.
Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this work with multi-outcome bets, like three possible results?
A: Yes, our Advanced Calculator above supports as many outcomes as you need. Just click “Add Outcome” to input more.
Q: Is arbitrage betting risk-free?
A: Theoretically yes, if you can secure the stated odds. However, odds can change quickly, and betting limits or fees might reduce profits.
