How arbitrage detection works

An arbitrage candidate appears when the best available prices across all outcomes imply a total probability below 100 percent after accounting for fees and practical limits.

  • Fetch prices across bookmakers
  • Convert decimal odds to implied probability
  • Compare best prices by outcome and market

What to handle in production

Arbitrage tools need careful filtering. Prices can move, markets can be suspended, and bookmaker availability varies. Treat the API as the structured price layer, then add your own execution and risk controls.

  • Handle stale or missing markets
  • Add liquidity and timing rules
  • Keep a record of source prices used for each alert
Endpoint

Arbitrage source data

Odds responses stay focused on bookmaker prices. Match context comes from related football endpoints, so your app can join odds to fixtures, results, xG, team stats, and player data by match ID.
