Arbitrage

Also known as: Arb, Surebet

Placing bets on every outcome of a market across different bookmakers so the combined stakes lock in a guaranteed profit regardless of result. Possible when bookmaker prices disagree enough that the sum of implied probabilities falls below 100%. Arbitrage opportunities are typically small (1-3%) and short-lived. Bookmakers actively restrict accounts they identify as arbing.
