How to Sports Arbitrage with Enhanced Odds?

Updated Jul, 22nd 2022 Racing & Sports

Corporate bookmakers on a weekly basis offer substantially enhanced odds across an array of markets, something an astute punter can turn into guaranteed profit.

In order to entice punters to their site, corporate bookmakers frequently display promotional markets where they offer substantially inflated odds for a team or horse to win.

It might be like back Winx at $2.00 in the Cox Plate or take the Richmond Tigers to win on a weekend at $1.80. 

One such example of a bookmaker offering enhanced odds of $2.00 about a team to win their opening round AFL match when their odds in a regular market were only $1.40.

While you could get $2.00 about the match favourites, $3.35 was available about their rivals.

You may not be able to have a large amount on (with some restrictions placed) but many punters just enjoy a $50 wager on their favourite team.
 
Options Tigers Blues
Bookmaker 1 Odds $2.00 $3.35
Bookmaker 2 Odds $1.40 $3.35

Have the full allowance of $50.00 on the Tigers at $2.00 to take out $100.00

Then, wager $30.00 on the Blues at $3.35 to also win $100.00.

No matter what the result, you are guaranteed to make a profit of $20.00 as you are guaranteed to take out $100.00 yet have only outlayed $80.00.
