Best Football Odds

These are designed to help with matched betting, in particular the signup offers. Some also have odds comparison pages as above. The number of free odds matching sites is dropping and those which are available have a time lag, for example out free version of the sports arb finder Odds matching sites tend to get their odds via an odds comparison site (although ours gets them from the bookies odds feeds), and are therefore subject to similar delays and any problems with the odds feeds from the original site. They usually work on a very limited range of markets (eg football match odds), and often come with an inbuilt calculator to calculate your lay stake at the exchange. These sites are useful for finding the best match for a free bet or qualifier, or if you are tackling a WR.

Odds Digger

They are of limited use to arbers because of the delay. Some sites have sections which find surebets (dutches) and arbs. This information is valuable and you will normally have to pay for good upto date information. However there are sites which allow free access, although they normally reserve the biggest arbs for their paying customers, and there may be a waiting list.

These sites list arbs across all the bookies covered and all the sports or markets covered, with the best arbs at the top. The more sophisticated (usually paid) ones have filters where you can choose which bookies to look at and whether or not to look at dutches as well as arbs, and may also cover many more sports and allow you to filter those too. There are other arb finding subscription services such as ucantlose which send bet uk sports betting sites not on gamstop arb alerts by text or email. The problem with these is that so many arbers now have bots to help them find arbs that by the time you have read your email the arb will probably have gone. If you are a serious full-time arber you may feel that the subscription fee to one of these sites is worth paying. There are also other tabs which show different markets on the same match.

I found that I could manage very well without paying, and certainly if you are not arbing full time a subscription to a good site is going to make a hole in your profits. Many of these sites attempt to give an indication of how good the arb is by quoting a percentage. While this is ok as a general guide, I find it can be highly misleading, especially as you don’t know how they have arrived at it. I would strongly advise checking anything which is listed as an arb at all (even 0%), partly because the odds may have moved and partly because it will give you an idea of whether the bet is likely to be useful to you. This is the most sophisticated of these sites with far more markets including some rather bizarre ones. If there is an arb on the 1×2 market it is worth checking the HT and HTFT markets at the same bookie. This popup is extremely useful – normally the best arbs do not show on the list, but if you find a near-arb at one bookie it might be a higher price at another so it is worth loading this popup to check.

As usual the best odds on each selection are highlighted in bold so you can see at a glance where they are. I would advise all arbers to bookmark this site and use it regularly. It is worth pointing out that you can also list bets at a specific bookie, so if you are doing a WR or a free bet you don’t have to wade through loads of stuff you don’t want. They do have some weird entries on the list, including UKC1 to 4, which are shop coupons : UKC1=Coral, 2=Ladbrokes, 3=William Hill, 4=Betfred. £40 worth of Free Bet Tokens awarded on bet settlement plus additional £20 Free Bet tokens will be credited on the 11th June. 6 x £10 each with betting restrictions.

Most of these sites allow the facility to click through to the bookmaker site, either to sign up or to load a betting slip. Bookmakers can trace these links, and know that people who use these sites are likely to be looking for value. Although there is no direct evidence that using these clickthroughs results in faster limits, I would suggest only clicking through if there is no alternative, eg if the signup offer is the best around or if you cannot find the relevant market on the bookie’s site. Remember that any software of this type is only as good as its programmer.
