I have made 94K since new years LIVE arb and EV betting. This is the QnA thread I post every once and while answering any questions if you want help.

Limits
Bankroll management
P2s
Sportsbooks
Software
Getting started
Mistakes to avoid
Whatever else

I also want to address a few recent comments I’ve seen in this sub and be fully transparent.

Yes, I help the guys at Gambit Odds. And yes, if someone asks me what software I use, I’m probably going to recommend Gambit. That said, I’ve tried basically everything out there, and I’m also happy to talk about other tools if people ask. I want to be clear ask anything you want and ill answer it. I've been live arbing for 4 years full time and I will try to give the best guidence I can regardless of topic.

Hopefully people are cool with that tradeoff: I’ll give away as much useful info as I can, and I’ll be upfront when I’m recommending something I’m involved with.

Struggling to ARB in Ontario, Canada

I am now limited from bet99, draftkings, and betway, and blocked completely from fanduel so i cant use that on my laptop. I am going to get access to a friend's betway and draftkings soon but also now the arbitrage market imo is a bit dried up with the sportsbook i use and the lack of sports. Does anyone have any advice and what main sportsbooks they use? I am also only 20 so i cant use a decent amount of offshore books

This feels like a spot where the Knicks are the right favorite, but the number may be too high.
New York is coming in hot:
Knicks are 7-3 over their last 10
Sixers are 7-3 over their last 10
Both teams are on 3-game winning streaks
Knicks are allowing only 101.8 PPG
Sixers are allowing 104.3 PPG
Knicks have 4 days of rest
Sixers have only 2 days of rest after a Game 7
That rest edge is real for New York, but the spread still feels a little inflated.
Why Philadelphia can keep this close
The Sixers have been strong on the road, going 4-1 away from home recently. They also just came back from a 3-1 deficit against Boston and won Game 7 on the road, so this is not a team that should be treated like a normal underdog.
The head-to-head history also matters. Philadelphia has had success against New York this season, and the road team has been very live in this matchup.
Why the Knicks are favored
New York deserves respect. They closed their last series with a huge blowout win and have been defending at an elite level. If the Sixers come out tired after the Boston series, the Knicks can absolutely pull away.
The biggest swing factor is Embiid. If he is limited with the hip issue, the Sixers’ cover case gets weaker fast.
Market read
The line moved from -6.5 to -7.5, showing sharp money on New York. The Knicks moneyline also shortened, so the market clearly respects them at home.
But at +7.5, Philadelphia has enough cushion if Embiid is active and moving well.
My read
Knicks probably win, but the spread feels a bit too stretched for a Sixers team that has been strong on the road and battle-tested.
Lean: 76ers +7.5
The Sixers moneyline is interesting at a big plus number, but taking the points is the cleaner angle.
The key question is whether Philly’s Game 7 fatigue shows up late, or if Embiid and Maxey keep this within range.

Is live arbitrage even a real thing?

ive made a bet placer for crypto bookies which uses betburger's api and unofficial api's of crypto bookies to place them. what ive been seeing is that no opportunity last more than 5-6 seconds. my code locates the bet on bookie in like 3-4 secs but like even placing a bet programmatically in there is also almost impossible then how are people placing these bets manually? am i missing out on something or is it really like that? please help me with your answers. ill really appreciate that.

im using free tier betburger which only shows arbs below 1%, is it because of that or wht?

Is Pikkit pro worth it?

I opted in to the 7 day trial for the CLV analysis stuff but the fine print is saying its only counting certain bets.

What's the point of even having analytics if it only includes data from 457 out of the 731 bets I took this month??

I built a sports analytics app for player prop research — would love feedback

Hey everyone! I just launched the iOS version of AlgoSwish, a sports analytics app I’ve been working on for a while.

The app is built for bettors who want to research smarter without having to jump between a bunch of different sites. Right now, it’s focused on NBA analytics and includes things like:

  • Player prop research
  • Player analysis and stat breakdowns
  • Market movement
  • Bet tracking
  • Model picks
  • Parlay builder

A big thing I want to mention: most of the app is free to use, and you don’t even need an account to try some of the free research tools. The main Pro feature right now is the Picks screen.

iOS is live now, and Android should be coming sometime next week.

Current roadmap:

  • WNBA next
  • MLB after that
  • NFL after that
  • More sportsbooks, exchanges, and DFS-style books planned too, including platforms like Kalshi, PrizePicks, Novig, and more
  • Currently launching in the US and Canada first, with UK, EU, and Australia planned later

Since I’m launching late into the NBA season during the playoffs, I also want to be transparent: the model picks and parlay builder have tested really well during the previous seasons, but playoff rotations and matchups can get weird, so I’d be more cautious/selective with picks during this stretch. I’m going to keep improving the app as more data comes in and more sports are added.

I’m also offering a welcome deal for early users:

50% off the 1-month Pro subscription for the first 100 people who redeem it. Code expires May 31, 2026.

Redeem promo code:
https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6764715128&code=WELCOME

App Store Download link:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/algoswish-sports-picks/id6764715128

I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback, good or bad. I’m trying to build this into a high-quality sports analytics app with fair pricing and useful tools, not just another hard-paywalled betting research app.

Thanks for checking it out.

Soccer live betting question

Hi guys. I was wondering if any of you have any soccer live betting system that you follow. What markets do you bet on the most and what's the process?
How do you pick your matches?
Does it matter which are the initial odds for the market you're following?
Do you pick the match before starting or do you just proceed once you find a random match that fits into certain criterias?

P2 account question

I am relatively new at +ev and arbitrage betting. Made a good bit the past year and now I’m taking it more seriously. For my P2 accounts I have a separate device for each, but do I need to get a data plan for each or can I run them off of a hotspot? Also any other advice for p2 accounts is appreciated

General beginner advice needed

Hello all, this is my first post here but just looking for some general advice.
Some context: I’m not completely new to sports betting, I’ve done around 7 welcome promo hedges/conversions already and made some pretty solid profit from that. I understand the fundementals of how to properly hedge. What I have not actually done yet is true arbitrage betting between books. I am living in BC, Canada, so there aren’t a ton of sportsbooks available here. Because of that, I’m also using a couple friends accounts as well as my own. Altogether I have around 10 accounts across different books, and every account is still relatively fresh, they’ve only been used once for the welcome promo/bonus conversions and nothing else.
I have a $3,000 total bankroll to start with, and I am not worried about longevity. I wanna be as aggressive as possible with arbing over the next couple weeks before inevitably getting limited/gubbed on all my own and my friends accounts. I understand the basic concept mathematically, but I’m looking for practical beginner advice from people who have actually done this successfully.
The main things I’m trying to learn are:

Which arb/odds tracking software or sites are actually worth using
How people efficiently execute arbs before lines move
Common beginner mistakes
Biggest risks (partial fills, voids, line movement, limits, and anything else.)
Best markets/sports for beginners
What NOT to do if I want to maximize short-term profit
How people manage bankroll distribution across books
Whether live arbing is worth it or just a fast way to get burned/limited

I work a regular job so I’m trying to figure out what’s realistically achievable while grinding hard every second outside of my work hours over thr next few weeks. Any advice is appreciated, thank you for reading :)

Would focusing on middling instead of arbitrage make a new account last longer?

If I focus on middling instead of arbitrage, do you think a fresh account may last longer?

Curious what people’s experience has been.

Just Tried Arbitrage Betting For The First Time, Help pls

Hello Arbitrage Enthusiasts.

I am from Germany and I just tried Abitrage betting for the first time. I got on Polymarket and Jupiter Predict (heard they have their liquidity from Kalshi, cant use Kalshi or Draftkings directly).

Long story short, I put 100 Euro in each account, saw a big arb opportunity on a live LoL game, bought one side, tried buying the other side at the same time, order on the fav side couldn't get fulfilled anymore (probably because the odds swung a bunch) and I got fucked (only -20 Euro)

I would appreciate y'alls advice as experienced arb betters - is it even possible for me if I can't access sites like Draftkings? Are Lives a bad place to bet?

I appreciate all the advice :)

Arbitrage during the summer

I've been arbing since the start of this NBA season. For the most part, I use PTO to find the best bets and since I live in Ontario the majority of the sportsbook I use are Fanduel, Bet365, Draftking.

I've only done player props and it has made me 20k+, Ik its risky and gets limited very fast but I managed my unit size pretty well and only gotten 1 account limited which was bet365.

Now we are deep into the NBA playoffs, I am having trouble arbing since the lines are faster and lesser games. I need some advice for arbing during the summer and what other sports should I look into?
