OddStorm was established in 2007 and provides high quality cross-market soccer surebets, middles and Polish middles. Since its launch they have been enhancing their service, adding bookmakers, markets and filters, and improving parsing algorithms and arbitrage detection systems. Currently OddStorm offers pre-match and in-play football arbitrage on their web site, having also developed a Windows application exclusively for live arbing (OddStorm InPlay application).

Main features

OddStorm collects odds on their own, without using third party providers. Their event matching system guarantees displaying almost all soccer tournaments, leagues and events matched against each bookmaker. They focus on football so that they can cover every major and minor league, with a dedicated team monitoring and working on the completeness of the coverage. Anyway, they have announced they will eventually add other sports in the future. They cover the following markets:

• 1X2
• 1X2 Corners
• Double Chance
• Over/Under
• Over/Under Home
• Over/Under Away
• Over/Under Corners
• Over/Under Home Corners
• OverUnder Away Corners
• GG/NG
• Odd/Even
• Odd/Even Corners
• Odd/Even Home
• Odd/Even Away
• CorrectScore (as UnderGoals)
• AH (including DNB)
• AH Corners

They also cover a high number of cross-market soccer surebets, middles and Polish middles. They currently offer 51 bookmakers for future events and 40 bookmakers for in-play arbitrage. Regarding periods, they cover 1st half, 2nd half, halftime and fulltime for in-play arbitrage. They only cover fulltime for prematch.

The refresh rate is only 1 second on the windows InPlay application. On their web site the refresh rate is 3 seconds for in-play and 15 seconds for prematch, but can be set to greater values according to each user’s preferences.

Special features

Besides arbitrage detection, OddStorm also offers odd comparison and odd history. Users can see the history of every odd, since first detected at OddStorm and the time of each change. Users can also compare odds from different bookmakers, by clicking on the event and selecting the market of choice.

OddStorm claims to prevent obvious error from being displayed, having many rules which determine these situations.

Users can set an alarm that will sound when the arbitrage percentage is higher than a predefined value.

OddStorm (the InPlay application in particular) has a huge speed regarding parsing and arbitrage generation and delivery. They scan asians and Pinnacle every 15 seconds and do not miss to catch a market trend which may produce an arbitrage. InPlay application scans every bookmaker in 1-3 second interval. These odds changes can be seen in odd history (as shown in the picture).

Filters

Users can specify the minimum and maximum arb percentage. The minimum allowed arbitrage can be chosen from the following: -1%, 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5%. The negative arbitrage can be used to take advantage of bonuses and rapidly fulfilling rollover requirements. The maximum allowed arbitrage can be chosen from: 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10% and 100%. These limits allow to prevent palp errors. On the InPlay application limits are the same, but users can write any value (instead of choosing from the list), for example, a minimum of 1.5% and a maximum of 300%

Middles and Polish middles have a probability value. The higher this value, the better (for middles) and the worst (for Polish middles). Users can set the minimum probability (between 4 and 10) for Middles and the maximum probability (between 2 and 3.5) for Polish middles.

OddStorm can consider all available events or just the ones that will be played in 1, 2, 7 or 30 days. As arbers we don’t want to keep our money stuck on a bet for a long time so we could chose to display only events for the next 2 days.

In the arbitrage window, users can dismiss the information they no longer want to see by filtering items, including specific odds, a specific match or a whole league. Dismissed information can be shown again by removing the applied filters.

The Windows InPlay application has more filter possibilities, including the following:

• Filter events for a small period of time (1, 2 or 5 minutes).
• Arbitrage outcome count (2, 3 or 4 legs)
• Events at half time break
• Events where current score is draw
• Minutes till half time break or end of match are less than given minutes
• Odd price is lower than a given value

Customisation

Users can customise bookmakers to be used for pre-match arbitrage and in-play arbitrage. Bookmakers can be optional or mandatory. For example, if you have most of your bankroll on a specific bookmaker, you can decide to force this bookie on all arbs displayed (set it as mandatory) and leave other bookies as optional. The latest version of the InPlay application has instant bookmaker filtering and allows predefining bookmaker filter sets.

Users can also set their time zone and chose among the following languages: English, Bulgarian, Czech, Swedish and Russian.

Next improvements

The Windows InPlay application will introduce interesting features in next versions. OddStorm is working on market customisation for each bookmaker and on multi-tab arbitrage windows to allow different rules and filters on each tab. They are also working on a major upgrade that will allow autologin and navigating to specific betting slips.

Calculator

Every surebet, middle or Polish middle can be calculated on the built in calculator. Users must specify the stake for one of the bet legs (outcomes) and OddStorm will calculate other stakes, the arbitrage percentage, return on each bet and profit (or loss).

The calculator allows users to change the odds, but does not support different currencies or commissions. Non subscribers are limited to 100 max stake

Support

Customer support can be contacted by email and they provide a very quick response. The site also provides a live chat area for paying subscribers, visible to all visitors. Skype support is also available, and OddStorm participate in Arbusers forum where they post information and answer users questions. In this forum they have a specific board with 10 threads at the time of our review. Although there is no user manual, they have posted several articles on their web site and Arbusers forum

RebelBetting is a Windows application to detect and deliver sports betting arbitrage opportunities. It was developed by Clarobet AB, a small team of software developers and sports betting specialists in the north of Sweden. It all began in late 2007 when two programmers and two poker players started developing the application. In 2009 they had users from 60 countries and were nominated to the Young Entrepreneur award. RebelBetting now have users from over 120 countries.

Main features

RebelBetting collects odds and displays arbitrage opportunities from 54 bookmakers. The software tries to make arbitrage betting as easy as possible, suitable for beginners and professional surebettors. RebelBetting only focuses on pre-match arbing.

They cover 10 sports and 7 markets, as shown on this table:

The refresh rate is only 1 second on selected Betfair odds and 15 seconds on all other Betfair odds. Other bookmakers are scanned once a minute but is going to be improved in their next major release.

Special features

One of the most remarkable functions about RebelBetting is its Auto-login and Auto-surf feature, where the software will automatically log you in to the bookmaker, find the correct sport, league and market, and the participant and odds highlighted for faster access to the arbitrage. This requires telling RebelBetting you username and password on all bookmakers, something not everybody will be comfortable with.

The arbitrage window shows all arbs available based on current user settings. Each arbitrage is shown a row including the arb percentage, time until the event starts, the arb age, event participants and each outcome. In general arbs can be played using more than one bookmaker (with different arb percentage). To view all available arbs for the same event and market, you can click on the plus sign to expand the view. You will see other options (odds from different bookmakers for the same market). As you select different odds, arbitrage percentage are re-calculated and shown.

RebelBetting claims to detect and display possible dangerous situations. Below is a list of the warnings that can be seen in RebelBetting, and what they mean.

• Risk for palpable error: A bookmaker can cancel your bet, claiming it was a palpable error (commonly known as a palp) This can occur when a bookmaker has made “an obvious mistake”, such as reversed the odds of a match or some other kind of accidental error made while quoting the odds.

• Reversed participants: This notice is just to let you know that the order of the participants might not be the same on both bookmakers. This could happen for instance if a match is played at neutral ground and no team is the home team.

• Mixed rules: Bookmakers in the arb have different rules regarding tennis matches.

• Stake kidnapping: This warning identifies bookmakers that sometimes void part or all of your bet, after placed.

• Same bookie: This notice is displayed when selecting an arb where two or more outcomes in an arb are on the same bookmaker.

• Baseball notice: This is just to warn users that the bet is on a baseball match, to remind users to take care about starting pitchers and date and time of the game.

• Not logged in to Betfair: If you are not logged to Betfair, Betfair odds will not be displayed.

Users can set several alarms that will sound or show on specific situations. RebelBetting can play two different sounds when arbs are above certain percentage, and another sound to notice middles. It can also display a balloon, flash window or bring it to front depending on the arb percentage.

Subscribers can download the free e-book that tells you everything you need to know about placing sure bets. Paid subscribers have access to a more detailed e-book.

Filters

RebelBetting manages three types of filters: arbitrage, bookmakers and market filters.

Arbitrage filters include:

• Filter arbitrages between a minimum and maximum percentage.

• Filter arbitrage based on its reliability (low, medium, high).

• Filter arbitrage on exchanges based on volume. Users can set a minimum profit for Betfair, BetDaq and Smarkets.

• Users can chose to show middles above a certain arbitrage percentage (which can be from -5% to 5%).

• Users can hide certain arbs: with the same bookmaker on two legs, with three outcomes, starting too soon or too far, too old, and with or without lay odds.

• Arbitrage with mixed rules on tennis can be shown or not.

Bookmakers filters let users choose which bookmakers are to be considered on arbs. Bookmakers can be optional or required.

Market filters let users choose which sports and markets will be considered.

These filters are established in the settings page, under the filter option. However a quick filter bar allowing to change the minimum arb and a required bookmaker is available on the main screen.

Customisation

Users can customise bookmakers to be used for pre-match arbitrage. As already stated, bookmakers can be optional or mandatory. For example, if you have most of your bankroll on a specific bookmaker, you can decide to force this bookie on all arbs displayed (set it as mandatory) and leave other bookies as optional.Bookmaker setup is much more than just choosing which bookies you want to use.

You can set your auto-login details (username and password), and chose the url to the web site (some bookies offer various options). You can also set the bookmaker currency, the preferred rounding, and tax (on stake or profit) and commission information.

Users can also set their default currency and stake (for calculation) and odds format (decimal, fraction, US). Regional settings include choosing the timezone and the language, among the following: English, Swedish, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Deutsch, Greek, French, Japanese and Korean.

Calculator

Every surebet, can be calculated on the built in calculator. Users must specify the total stake or the stake for one of the bet legs (outcomes) and RebelBetting will calculate other stakes, the arbitrage percentage, return on each bet and profit (or loss).

The calculator allows users to change the odds, and supports different currencies, commissions and rounding. By default all outcomes will generate the same profit, but users can check which outcomes to maximise (this can be one of the outcomes or two in a three legs arb)

Support

Customer support can be contacted by email and they provide a very quick response. RebelBetting participates in Arbusers forum where they post information and answer users questions. In this forum they have a specific board with 5 threads at the time of our review. There is also a user manual available online and a faq page with lots of useful information.

Subscriptions plans

RebelBetting offers only two subscription plans:

• Free subscription: the maximum arbitrage shown is 0.6%. No cross market arbs or middles are displayed.

• Paid subscription: this subscription includes all functionality. Its price is 129 EUR per month.

They offer other options for short or extended subscriptions:

• 1 week: 39 EUR.

• 6 months: 89 EUR per month (must pay 499 EUR for the first 6 months).

• 12 months: 69 EUR per month (must pay 799 EUR for the first 12 months).

Payments can be done by Skrill, Credit card or Neteller.

Next improvements

RebelBetting has worked on an in-play alert service. They already have a working prototype and they are evaluating releasing a beta depending on users demand.

RebelBetting is working on improving odds scanning. Next major release will reduce scanning interval to 10-20 seconds.

BetOnValue.com is an online service providing surebet alerts among other betting related services, including odds comparison (live and prematch) and odds history. BetOnValue.com belongs BetBrain Ltd and was launched in May 2000 in Denmark as a spin off from a Danish web technology company. Their website was redesigned in November 2012 and offers fast and very detailed information about odds, surebets, and valuebets.

Main features

BetOnValue displays odds, surebets and valuebets, for live and future events. BetOnValue collects odds from more than 170 bookmakers and exchanges. The service brings an amazing number of sports and markets in an easily navigable design. There are 65 sports, and markets, depending on the sport, can be more than 100 (for example, considering football, the most complete of all).

They also cover a high number of cross-market surebets. Regarding periods, they cover full-time (with and without overtime), 1st and 2nd half, 1st to 5th set, 1st to 4th quarter, different innings and many other options depending on the sport.

Odds are collected from different sources, depending on what the provider offers. If they give more options, BetOnValue takes the fastest/most reliable one. They only take odds through third parties when they have no alternative, for a couple of Asian bookmakers, otherwise they collect them directly.

The refresh rate depends on the bookmaker. For upcoming events requests are made every 60 seconds on average. Normally, the providers listed under Standard Bookmakers and Exchanges are the most reliable, as BetOnValue has direct communication with them and they provide with their best solutions. For all In-running events, the refresh rate is much closer to real time, with delays of 1-2 seconds on average, with an imposed maximum of 5-8 seconds

Special features

Whether you are on the odds, surebets, or valuebets window, BetOnValue can drive you to the bookmaker web site and select the event and market to place the bet, just by clicking on the desired odds. Depending on the bookmaker you will have the bet slip already filled or you will have to do it by yourself.

Besides arbitrage detection, BetOnValue also offers odd comparison and odd history. Users can see the history of every odd, since first detected at BetOnValue in a graph showing odds evolution. When showing odds evolution for a specific event, users can chose the market, period, parameter (spread in AH or goals in OU), the bookmaker (or maximum or average) and the outcomes to display (such as over, under or both). They can also adjust the time range to include in the graph.

Users can also compare odds from different bookmakers, by clicking on the event and selecting the market of choice.

BetOnValue offers an accounting application (BetOnValue Accounting) to record bets and other transactions across your bookmaker and wallet accounts. You can record each bet from BetOnValue.com odds tables and manage other transactions such as deposits or withdrawals. Each bet can include information about sports, leagues and betting types and the application includes some basic accounting and betting reports.

Filters

The arbitrage window has a filter section on the left where users can determine the conditions to select arbitrage opportunities.

Users can specify the minimum and maximum arb percentage. The minimum allowed arbitrage can be chosen from the following: 0%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5%. No negative arbitrage can be chosen. The maximum allowed arbitrage can be chosen from: 0.2%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9% and all. These limits allow to prevent palp errors.

BetOnValue can consider all available events or just the ones that will be played in 2 hours, 12 hours, 1, 2, 7, 30 or 90 days. As arbers we don’t want to keep our money stuck on a bet for a long time so we could chose to display only events for the next 2 days.

Another filter enables users to choose to show only non-live events, only live events or both.

The filter section also allows users to choose bookmakers, sports and markets. Only bookmakers that have previously been selected in the user preferences are available to choose, and users can also set minimum and maximum odds for each of the selected bookmakers. After choosing sports, users can select from the list of available markets for these specific sports. The number of markets is so big that selection is not easy. In fact, full market names are not displayed and you need to hover over the name to see the full description.

In the arbitrage window, users can dismiss the information they no longer want to see by filtering the unwanted odds. They can filter all odds values for a particular bookmaker, event, market and outcome, or a specific value for these odds (if odds change they will be show again). Dismissed information can be shown again by removing the applied filters.

They don’t have filters for same bookie, but this feature is in their To Do list.

Customisation

Users can set personal information (name, last name and country), change email and password, choose preferences and select bookmakers.

Preferences include: remember me, sound alerts for live matches, sound alerts for surebets, newsletters, valuemail, currency, timezone and odds format (UK, US, EU, IN, MA, HK).

Users can customise bookmakers to be used. Bookmakers are optional (you cannot choose mandatory bookmakers to be considered on all arbs). The bookmakers you select are saved in your profile and can be later used in the filter section in the surebet window. For each bookmaker you can specify the currency and some of them (exchanges on a few other) allow commissions (currencies and commissions will be used in the calculator). Bookmakers are categorized as standard (38 books and 4 exchanges), and extra (144 books and 1 exchange). The number of books and exchanges and their category can change over time.

Calculator

Every surebet can be calculated on the built in calculator. Users must specify the total stake or the stake for one of the bet legs (outcomes) and BetOnValue will calculate other stakes, the arbitrage percentage, return on each bet and profit (or loss). The calculator allows users to change the odds (by selecting another bookmaker or just writing a new value), and also supports different currencies and commissions.

The calculator performs automatic rounding that cannot be disabled.

Support

Customer support can be contacted by email and they provide a very quick response. Although there is no user manual, they have a Help area with information about how to use the site.

Subscriptions plans

BetOnValue offers 3 subscription plans:

• Advanced subscription: it has 20 minutes surebet delay and does not include exchanges. Bookmakers available are all standard bookmakers and 10 extra bookmakers. Its price is EU 10 per month

• Expert subscription: it has 3 minutes surebet delay. All bookmakers are available. Its price is EU 50 per month

• SureBet Pro subscription: it has no surebet delay. All bookmakers are available. Its price is EU 150 per month

There is no free option at BetOnValue.com, but if you wanna try for free, you can use BetBrain.com (from the same company). BetBrain.com offers real time odds for free. Surebets and valuebets are also shown for free, with 20 minutes delay. At BetBrain you can only find samples of the full service that can be found on BetOnValue. Besides the 20 minutes delay, you don’t have any filters, and results are generated randomly (only 10 surebets or valuebets are displayed).

All plans include odds history and odds comparison and allow users to use the Accounting Application.

Payments can be done by Visa and Mastercard, Skrill and Neteller.

Next improvements

Currently BetOnValue does not have any kind of warnings for dangerous surebets, but they do their best to group only providers/bet types with the same rules, thus minimizing any possible losses. In terms of possible mistakes, they do have an automatic reporting system that alerts them of any possible mistakes in terms of odds compatibility. In addition, they monitor the page themselves for mistakes. However, they have considered such feature – Warnings – and hopefully they’ll be able to implement it in the near future.

At the moment they only offer alerts for new surebets that arrive on the page but they will consider adding more alerts by different criteria.

Supported bookmakers (as of August 10, 2014)

The list is huge. Besides 5 exchanges (Betfair, Betdaq, Matchbook, Smarkets and Betcruise), they offer more than 170 bookmakers. We preferred to show them in a picture.

BetLinker is a Windows application to detect and deliver sports betting arbitrage opportunities. It was developed by Russian developer Evgeniy Krasnov in 2011 and was available only in Russian until last August when the English version launched.

Main features

BetLinker collects odds and displays arbitrage opportunities from more than 100 bookmakers.

BetLinker only focuses on pre-match arbing – they are working on live arbitrage but currently it’s only a free service up to 1%. They cover at least 28 sports and many markets (including cross markets) to detect more than 4000 different combinations of 2, 3 and 4 outcomes surebets.

The refresh rate is on average between 10 and 40 seconds, but users can pause the update by pressing a button in the lower left corner of the program window. Some bookmakers have faster refresh rate, such as Pinnacle (7 seconds).

Special features

One of the most remarkable functions about BetLinker is its built-in browser and automatic login. The application will automatically log you in to the bookmaker, find the correct sport, league and market, and fill the bet slip if possible. This requires telling BetLinker you username and password on all bookmakers, something not everybody will be comfortable with.

The arbitrage window shows all arbs available based on current user settings and filters. Each arbitrage is shown in a row including the event and league, markets, arb percentage, time until the event starts, the arb age and bookmakers involved. Columns shown can be customised. You can also switch to a detailed view, where all arbs are shown on more than one row, with each leg detail.

BetLinker offers an odds comparison service. Users can click on a bookmaker name (in the built-in browser or calculator). A small window will show and let you select other appropriate odds for this outcome. After selecting any odds, automatic authorization and browsing to it will start immediately.

Another way to compare odds is to call All Odds window by pressing F5 in main window, or appropriate button in built-in browser and external calculator. This time a larger window will show up, displaying many markets and a direct link to event for each bookmaker (if supported). The service allows you to specify bookmakers, as well as to track changes in odds, or outcomes (you specify the odds and the desired value and BetLinker will track these odds until they reach this value). And when you need to compare odds for a specific event, you can use “Find events” function, by entering team names in the search field.

BetLinker accounting can help you keep a record of your bets. By pressing the “Add to accounting” button, you can record the selected surebet. You must previously create all necessary bookmaker accounts. BetLinker accounting provides information about profit for day, week, or month, and some statistics of your accounts.

Accounting manages money transactions (deposits, withdrawals, transfers) and betting transactions (bet, surebet and bonus).

Built in browser

By pressing the “Make bet” button, the built in browser will automatically open, log into your account on bookmakers websites and go to the event. If in the process of surfing any odd has changed, the browser immediately informs you about it and offers to recalculate stakes in the built-in calculator.

The Built in Browser splits the screen depending on the number of legs of the arbitrage.

Filters

BetLinker manages filters using the following criteria:

• sports
• bookmakers (optional and mandatory bookmakers)
• countries and leagues
• profit
• remaining time (from and to)
• surebet lifetime (from and to)
• maximum bet amount on exchanges
• number of outcomes (2, 3 or 4)
• surebets and middles
• back and lay on exchanges
• second and third leagues
• multiple outcomes from one bookmaker
• odds (from and to)
• different rules

Users can create up to 10 filters (only in Ultra plan) and up to two in Pro plan.
There is an instant alert for all users. If user enables checkbox “Notify in program”, all new and changed surebets falling into the filter will arise with a small window in the corner. When you click on the alert window, the main window will automatically open and the surebet will be selected.

Customisation

BetLinker allows lots of customisation. Users can customise the information to be displayed for each surebet and highlighting criteria. There are other display settings and sound settings, information to be shown on the calculator, the position of the notification window, and many other. The customisation window includes 11 tabs – connection, surebets table, bookmakers, interface, sounds, notify, calculator, browsing, accounting, odds and hot-keys – and around 100 items in total.

For each bookmaker, BetLinker allows users to set information such as username and password, web address, currency and other.

Calculator

There are four calculators:

• built in calculator in the main window
• external calculator
• external calculator with manual selection of arb
• built in calculator in the browser

Built in calculator in the main window and external calculator allow to calculate the arbitrage for the match selected. It is possible to change the total sum, rounding, each bet stake, currency, exchange rate, odds, and overweight or fix any sum.

The calculator has a “Surebet changed” indicator. Calculator constantly monitors odds and informs users of any change. If after change surebet is still profitable, calculator icon turns yellow, while it turns red on negative arbs.

By clicking on the words “Surebet changed” odds are updated with current odds.

By clicking on the name of the bookmaker, the list of odds from other bookmakers on same outcome will be shown (odds comparison feature).

On the external calculator with manual selection of arb, users can choose any of more than a thousand possible arbitrage situations (of course, a lot of combinations are the same, just changing the number of goals or points).

Support

Customer support can be contacted by email and they provide a very quick response. BetLinker participates in Arbusers forum where they post information and answer users questions. In this forum they have a specific board with 6 threads at the time of our review.

There is also a help page available online with a short description of most functions, and a faqs page and a list of all used abbreviations.

There is also good help information within the software.

Subscriptions plans

BetLinker has 3 subscription plans.

• Free plan: provides surebets and middles from 0% to 1%, built-in browser, accounting module and notifications
• Pro plan: It adds surebets and middles above 1%, negative surebets and middles and odds comparison. Its cost is 100 EUR per month.

A green frame denotes a new arb and a red one tells the match is near to start. Orange means different rules and blue is used on live matches to indicate the interval. A yellow background is used on middles.

Each arb shows the sport, date, arb percentage a ROI, league and teams, period, markets outcomes and odds. Next to each odd you can see an arrow up or down only after a recent change. By clicking on the arb percentage, the surebet calculator pops up.

BetBurger can drive you to the bookmaker web site and select the event and market to place the bet, just by clicking on the desired odds. Depending on the bookmaker you will have the bet slip already filled or you will have to do it by yourself.

Besides arbitrage detection, BetBurger also offers odds comparison. By clicking on a specific outcome in the arbitrage window you will be taken to the odds comparison page for this event and market. In this page you can see the odds for each market (and all spreads or totals) and select any other market available.

BetBurger offers an accounting application to record bets and other transactions across your bookmaker and wallet accounts. You can record each bet from BetBurger’s calculator and manage other transactions such as deposits or withdrawals. The accounting application is only available to paid users and is no longer available after your subscription ended (not even read-only).

Filters

The arbitrage window has a filter section on the left where users can determine the conditions to select arbitrage opportunities. A set of checkboxes allows to enable or disable some features like automatic odds updates, sound and popup alerts, grouping surebets by events, filtering arbs with different rules or same bookmaker and showing 2 and/or 3 legs arbitrages.

Users can also specify the minimum and maximum values for many arbitrage items including arb percentage, middle percentage, odds, arbitrage age and ROI.

BetBurger can consider all available events or just the ones that will be played in the next minutes, hours or days.

Finally, users can chose which bookmakers to include and which sports and markets to be considered.

All these conditions can be grouped under a custom filter and saved with a name. You can define several filters and apply one of them at any time.

BetBurger also allows users to apply multifilters (more than one filter at a time).

In the arbitrage window, users can dismiss the information they no longer want to see by filtering the unwanted odds, arbitrage or events. Users can click a cross next to each odd to dismiss this specific odd. This is useful if for some reason this odd is incorrect and keeps showing inexistent arbs, or when you already placed a bet on this odd and cannot place the same bet again because of bookmaker’s limits. Users can also dismiss the whole arbitrage and even all arbitrages from an event (by dismissing the event).

Customisation

Users can set their email and password, define bookmakers to be used (and set their currency, rounding method and commission), define exchange rates, and custom filters.

Calculator

Every surebet can be calculated on the built in calculator. Users must specify the total stake or the stake for one of the bet legs (outcomes) and the calculator will calculate other stakes, the arbitrage percentage and profit (or loss) on each leg. Just be sure to click the radio button on the leg you want to set fixed, or the calculator will use the total stake

The calculator allows users to change the odds, and supports commissions and rounding (including different rounding on each leg). Users can also maximize profit for one specific outcome or calculate a balanced arbitrage.

Support

Customer support can be contacted by email and they provide a very quick response. Although there is no user manual, they have a Help area with information about how to use the site. BetBurger participates in Arbusers forum where they post information and answer users questions. In this forum they have a specific board with 5 threads at the time of our review.

In case users find a wrong arbitrage, they can notify BetBurger with the horn icon under the arb percentage. This action will dismiss the arbitrage (for the user that pressed the horn) and warn other users who see the same arb. After pressing the horn you must indicate the type of error, to help BetBurger support on how to correct it.

Subscriptions plans

BetBurger offers 3 subscription plans.

• Prematch: Its price is EU 80 per month
• Live. Its price is EU 150 per month
• Prematch + live: Its price is EU 200 per month

There is also a free subscription which only shows arbs below or equal to 1%.

All plans (except the free plan) include the same features. You can freeze your account for 1 to 4 weeks, to extend your subscription in case you won’t use it.

Payments can be done by Skrill.

Supported bookmakers (as of September 1, 2014)

Dear All,

We have been lately reviewing top arbitrage alert services in the industry, including OddStorm, BetOnValue, RebelBetting, BetLinker and BetBurger. You can dig through the articles and check all the details regarding each and every described provider.

With this article, however I will sum up my personal impressions from using particular services, when reviewing them and will highlight their strong sides and issue some recommendations.

BetOnValue

I remember well, that together with my friends I started my sports arbitrage adventure many years ago with BetOnValue, which was BetBrain at that time. It was easy to use, it was straight forward, it was great at that time. Not much changed since these days and the quality of the service remained very solid. They added a lot of bookmakers, they improved update times and they could be recommended to every beginner and semi-intermediate arber who likes web-based alerting. It is really good ongoing job BetOnValue! The service currently costs 150 EUR per month, but you can get it with a nice discount – just for 127,5 EUR if you buy it through SBMON promotion.

RebelBetting

Few years later, when Rebelbetting emerged with their outstanding software we also had been working on Surebet Monitor. Having changed our policy towards monitoring arbitrage industry we need to emphasize that Rebels set standards in the arbing business. Their product is complete, with great software, great automatic browsing and overwhelming user-friendliness. One perhaps could have expected faster development and more upgrades, but still this is the service I would like to recommend to every beginner to intermediate arber who prefers software alerting. Rebels monthly license currently costs 129 EUR, however one might wish to consider buying 3-months through Surebet Monitor exclusive promotion and get an extra month for free! Value in the offer.

OddStorm

OddStorm has always been around since many years, and whereas its pre-match product was fine, it was not that well-developed as BetOnValue’s one and never reached the popularity of the latter one. Nowadays OddStorm storms the sports arbitrage market with the live-arbing offensive, providing in my eyes the best available tool for the live arbitrage. Rumors are, that pre-match arbing will also be included in their live-arbitrage application really soon. For now it is very green light for them and the best choice for every experienced arber orientated towards live-arbitrage betting. Quality here is quite expensive and the monthly subscription of the live-product is valued 195 EUR. Also if you buy one through SBMON you can get +3 days added to your license!

BetLinker

Betlinker is definitely a new suggestion to the arbing world. Having been around for many years, it was available only in Russian, therefore with limited recognition in the community. Few days ago they launched their product in English and I can call it a breakthrough in the modern arbing in Europe. They may look like resembling Rebelbetting application, but they are better. They cover more sports and markets, they have more bookmakers included in the coverage, the application is well built, the betting browser works fantastic, the product is simply outstanding. We at Surebet Monitor can recommend it to everyone who seeks professional pre-match arbing tool in the software version. Betlinker is available at 120 EUR for the ultra-version monthly license. Without buying an extra-filtration option one can get them for as low as 100 EUR, which is a bargain.

BetBurger

BetBurger is the true debutant around. They provide very decent tool and cover both pre-match markets and live-arbing markets. They might be not as good as OddStorm when it goes to live-arbitrage alerting and their web-based service might also lack some of BetOnValue’s option, but they offer a complete product and therefore are recommended to everyone who seeks such a one. As a new (and already meaningful service) they will certainly improve further. BetBurger currently costs 79,99 EUR for the monthly pre-match license and 149,99 EUR for the live-arbing product. Both options combined present a cost of 199,99 EUR, which is a good price.

Summary

One can clearly see that there are a lot of arbitrage alert services around and there are significant differences between them. Therefore a successful arber has to name his needs and expectations, and, based on that, choose proper working tool. Key factors are:

• Experience of an arber (RebelBetting and BetOnValue will be a better option for novice to intermediate arbers, whereas OddStorm and BetLinker will suit needs of a professional).

• Pre-match or live arbing strategy (OddStorm has best live-arbing application and BetOnValue or BetLinker are best for pre-match).

• Software or web-based service preference (Rebels and BetLinker provide a software for pre-match whereas OddStorm, BetBurger and BetOnValue offer web-based alerting).

• Budget (BetBurger offers cheapest pre-match product, however you can also get nice discounts for Rebels and BetOnValue. Also BetLinker has best price/quality ratio pre-match.)

• Design (Betlinker and Rebels are best designed products).

We hope this article can help you choosing the best alert system for you. Now it is your move. So make your choice and stay in touch!

Betonfire.com is an online service providing surebet alerts for prematch and live events. Betsonfire is a relatively new and small alert service. About to reach its first year, Betsonfire claims to be a “private surebet monitor”, limited to 20 users.

Main features

Betsonfire displays surebets for live and future events. Betsonfire collects odds from more than 70 bookmakers and exchanges. The service brings arbs for football, basketball, tennis, ice hockey and volleyball. They cover almost all markets available and a few cross market arbs, but they plan to increase the number of cross markets.

Regarding periods, they cover all available periods of events.

The refresh rate is about 15 seconds, but users can stop the refreshing to analyse the static data.

Special features

Betsonfire is one of the only available alert services that only accepts a reduced number of subscribers. Currently only 20 subscribers can use the service. To be allowed, you must send an email asking for a seat.

Betsonfire includes a 2 and 3 legs arbitrage calculator. From the calculator you can save the surebet on its tracker.

Filters

The software provides very few filters, but next version will include some more. Right now users can filter by date, profit range, and, of course, the list of bookmakers to consider.

In the arbitrage window, users can dismiss the arbitrage they no longer want to see by filtering the unwanted rows.

Customisation

Besides preferred bookmakers, users can set an alarm to be played when a new surebet surpasses and specific arbitrage percentage.

Calculator

Every surebet can be calculated on the built in calculator, which supports 2 o 3 legs. When the user clicks on an arbitrage from the list, the calculator fills the specific information. Users must specify the total stake or the stake for one of the bet legs (outcomes) and the calculator will calculate other stakes, return on each bet and profit (or loss).

The calculator allows users to change the odds, and you can also maximize profit for one specific outcome or calculate a balanced arbitrage.

Support

Customer support can be contacted by email and they provide a very quick response. Although there is no user manual, the website is easy to use.

Betsonfire participates in Arbusers forum where they post information and answer users questions.

Subscriptions plans

Betsonfire offers a unique subscription plan which costs EU 69 per month and you can buy a three months subscription for EU 150. Although there is no free trial, users can test during 48 hours for just 7 Euros.

Payments can be done by Skrill, Neteller and Paypal.

Supported bookmakers

This is a truly stunning offer for us – arbers. If you are a big bettor now you have an unique option to negotiate odds, up to +0.1 at GoBetGo thus greatly increasing % of you arb. Check details of this amazing offer in our interview with GoBetGo Affiliate Manager.

SBMON_Mike: Dear George, thanks for an option to talk with you and present this unique VIP offer to the community. I am happy that you found time to discuss few details of the “Raise Odds” offer.

GoBetGo_George: You are most welcome Mike, I hope this deal will open new possibilites to VIP bettors.

M: How do you define VIP player George, and who can actually take part in the promotion?

G: This offer is valid exclusively for high value players, and to become such player you need to have either 10k EUR in deposits per month, or 50k in turnover per month.

M: Allright and how this deal actually works?

G: Let me explain it to you from the beginning. We are releasing a VIP service at vip@gobetgo.com, where VIP members can place large bets on better odds. For you to have some feeling how much we could increase the odds: it will be like: +0.03 on odds under 2.0, +0.06-7 on 2.0-3.0 and +0.10 on odds above 3.0

M: And how in practice VIP member might contact you to get this better offer?

G: One will have to contact us by email or skype (the skype is given to the VIP players for direct contact) and one can say for example he wishes to place a 5k bet on arsenal to win and ask for better odds. what kind of odds can we give. Now, the manager will tell the customer the odds offered to him and, if the deal is accepted he will take the bet manually from him. Please mind here that it is not always the case that we can give better odds,it depends on the event.For example if the odd is clearly dropping, we wont reverse it to give a higher one, or we can bump it a little (but not too much). Contrary – if the odd is rising, we can bump it more, as we will see the line movement goes in that direction.

M: Sounds reasonable – what is a minimum bet one can place manually while asking for better odds?

G: It is 1500 EUR.

M: This offer is certainly attractive to big bettors and arbers. Do not you fear you will be exploited too much and actually lose the edge with it?

G: Not exactly:) We raise the odds, but we stop the bonuses for VIP’s. We will basically, effectively transfer this bonus value we are anyway giving away to offer better odds.

M: … and you stimulate the player to keep money on your site and bet more, rather than withdrawing/depositing/asking for another deposit bonus, which might additionally save you some e-wallet commission money.

G: Yes, exactly. Needless to say, the less transaction fees we pay, the more we can reward our players, so one should aim to move funds in and out of the system less frequently.

M: This makes sense. I wish you good luck with this offer and all the best to your clients, bettors and arbers! Thank you for the interview.

G: Thank you Mike.

Arbvestor.com is the latest online surebet alert service. With just over two months from launch, Arbvestor provides surebet alerts for pre-match events. They are still under development, and have plans to increase functionality in the short term.

Main features

Arbvestor displays surebets for future events, collecting odds from 24 bookmakers and exchanges. The service brings arbs for football, basketball and ice hockey and several markets in a clean design. Markets include 1X2, money line, handicaps, totals and some cross markets arbs.

Regarding periods, they cover fulltime (with and without overtime), halves on football, quarters on basketball, and periods on hockey.

The service still needs work to be a strong contender to other alert services. Currently the list of sports, markets and filters available are not what experienced arbers may need.

Special features

After you log in, you see the main view with a list of surebets, sorted by percentage. This list can also be sorted by kick off time. The arbitrage list displays each arb on a row with almost all relevant information clearly organised inside. Each arb shows the sport, arb percentage, league and teams, time until kick off, and legs (market outcomes and bookmakers involved). Next to the arb percentage you can see an arrow up or down only after a recent change.

By clicking on the arb, the detailed arbitrage view is displayed. This detailed view includes bookmakers, markets, outcomes and odds involved on each leg, and also offers a list of other options (other bookmakers with lower odds that could also create arbitrage opportunities). On the detailed arb view you can go back to the arb list or you can open the arbitrage calculator and navigate to each bookmaker – if the Betfinder extension is installed.

Betfinder not only navigates to the bets of an arb, it also logs you into the bookie’s website. For that to work, you need to put the credentials for each bookie that you have an account with into the preferences. After clicking the “Go” button the Betfinder open new tabs on the web browser and find bets on each bookmaker. After setting the stakes to bet, just hit the “set amount” button and the values will be transferred to the bookie page betslip.

Arbvestor offers a basic bookkeeper application to record your bets and other transactions across your bookmaker accounts. You can record each bet from Arbvestor’s calculator.

Filters

Arbvestor provides a left vertical pane with its main options, which include filters. The filter section allows users to set some conditions to select arbitrage opportunities. These conditions include:

• the arbitrage minimum and maximum percentage (from -0.1 to 14.9 or unlimited)
• the minimum and maximum kick off time (from now to 2 months or unlimited)
• the sport (right now only one sport or all sports can be selected)
• the bookies (right now only one bookie or all bookies can be selected)

There is also a checkbox where you can choose to display only arbs within your bookies, as set on your preferences.

Customisation

Users can set general settings, including:

• share settings between computers and devices
• toggle arb notifications
• arb percentage threshold
• main currency
• time zone

Finally, users can set their bookmaker accounts from the list of bookies managed by Arbvestor. For each bookie, users can set the username and password (to enable autologin), the commission type and percentage, a custom URL and the currency. Currencies can be selected from a list which only displays each bookmaker’s allowed currencies; however it seems some currencies are missing (such as USD for bwin or bet365)

Calculator

Every surebet can be calculated on the built in calculator. Users must specify the total stake or the stake for one of the bet legs (outcomes) and the calculator will calculate other stakes, the arbitrage percentage, return on each bet and profit (or loss).
The calculator does not allow users to change the odds. It supports commissions (as set on your preferences) and rounding (but rounding is managed by Arbvestor and cannot be configured).

Support

Customer support can be contacted using an embedded message form on the application site. There is also a basic user manual on their site, as well as a FAQ page.

Arbvestor participates in Arbusers forum where they post information and answer users questions. In this forum they have a specific board with 4 threads at the time of our review.

Devilbet.com is a newcomer on the live sport surebet market. Devilbet aims towards simple usage. The main feature of Devilbet is its browser-based live stream. There is no software installation needed to profit from Devilbet’s surebets. Devilbet does not feature main book surebets. So every surebet you will see, will only last a couple of minutes. This might sound like a drawback, but in fact it isn’t. Devilbet Live Surebets go up to 50% per surebet!

As of this time, Devilbet supports 12 different bookies. Enough for 50.000 surebet possibilities being found on a daily basis on average. Devilbet demonstrates a strong surebet engine working in the background.

Special Feature

This is where Devilbet really stands out among others. They feature a special browser plugin, which enables you to place surebets within seconds. After the installation you are enabled to click a special button within the surebet live stream. After this single click, two windows open next to each other, showing the different bookies websites (and also the correct game). The browser plugin also fills the betslip for you. All left for you to do, is to compare if odds are still the same, and confirm. The surebet odds are also being shown by the browser plugin in the same window.

Try it for free

To give you the chance to convince yourself, Devilbet offers a free trial phase which ends automatically. No bad surprises. At the moment the subscription plans go from 9 EUR for 3 days, up to 49 EUR for 30 days.

Summary

Devilbet is a great choice for Surebet Newbies because of it’s browser plugin. It will also attract a good amount of Pro betters, because of it’s highly competitive price. You should definitely give it a try!

Today we want to take a closer look at CheckBestOdds.com. It’s an odds comparison website established in 2010. It provides you with current odds from top bookmakers, dropping odds and yes, you guessed it – surebets. Let’s see how it works in practice.

It’s worth to know, that CheckBestOdds.com is providing current surebets for free. Yeah, I know what you may think – to good to be true. Well, actually is not completely for free – you have to open an account and provide your email. It’s the only “price” you have to pay to get the access to their surebets page.

After that, you are able to view all the surebets – without any limits or delays. Is it possible to use these surebets? Yes, during our test, most of them were active, so it was perfectly possible to make some money out of it.

However, the main drawback of free surebets at CheckBestOdds.com is that there’s no any filter. You can only view all the list, which usually contains more than 100 surebets. So browsing it can be a little inconvenient, but you can get used to it. The most important thing is that the surebets are real.

Surebets filter

If you don’t want to browse all the surebets to find a suitable one, you can use surebets data filter. With this service you are able to choose following settings on CheckBestOdds.com surebets page:

• Profit range, e.g. from 2% to 5%

• Bookmakers – you can choose the bookmakers from which you want to display surebets, e.g. only surebets from Pinnacle, Bet365 and SBObet

• Match time range – this option allows you to display only surebets for the matches, which starts in a given time preriod, e.g. next 24 hours

We had an opportunity to test this service for a few days and it was very useful indeed. We were able to filter out all the surebets we weren’t interested in. Really useful.

This service is available for just 14.97 EUR per month. It’s a small price for saving a lot of time.

Surebets Alert Service

For the more advanced users, the guys from CheckBestOdds.com have prepared surebets email alert service. It’s a quite innovative approach, which we haven’t found anywhere yet. Usually, surebets are displaying online or through a desktop application. Here we have emails. Interesting.

The advantage of this solution is that you don’t need to have the website/application open all the time. You receive an email when there is a new surebet which meets your criteria.

You have a lot of criteria to choose from:

• Profit range, for example from 2% to 5%

• Overall stake – it will be used to calculate the stakes for your surebets

• Time range for receiving the alerts

• Match time range

• Omitted bookmakers – bookmakers for which you don’t want to get any alert

• Required bookmakers – bookmakers which must appear in every surebet

You can change settings without any problems using the sliders. It looks this way:

An email alert about a new surebet looks like this:

In the email you can find all the information needed, like match time, surebet type, profit, odds and bookmakers.

The name of a bookmaker is a link, which usually redirects to a match page on the bookmaker’s website. It’s a great feature, because you can save a lot of time. Also for each bet you have automatically calculated stake, so there’s no need for using any calculator. The stakes are calculated using the overall stake from the settings, which you can naturally change.

Of course to make any use of these alerts, you have to act quickly. After just a few minutes a surebet can disappear. However, the betting process is really easy with all the information from the email, so you can place your bets rapidly.

Surebets email alert service is available at a very attractive price. Monthly subscription is just 39 EUR. What’s more, CheckBestOdds.com is giving a lifetime money-back guarantee. At any time after placing an order you can request a money-back.

This website is offering also 14 days free trial for this service. It’s a great way to check it in real life and see whether this service is useful for you.

Supported sports

CheckBestOdds.com is searching constantly for new surebets on football, tennis, hockey and baseball. For tennis, they take into account bookmakers rules, which are often different.

At the website you can find following types of football surebets:

• Final result

• Half time result

• Over/Under

• 1/X2

• X/12

Introduction

OddStorm keep growing with its customers needs and their last released feature, requested by arbitrage bettors is the unique auto navigation. This is an autosurf feature which will make your arbing experience more enjoyable and easy to go. OddStorm software not only finds and delivers the surebets faster than all the arbitrage services, but now its customers can take advantage of their professionally made navigation which leads you directly to the betting event page with a single click. You just have to choose your surebet, click on it and it will lead you directly to the betting event page. Then all what’s next is to enter the amount and click “bet”. Currently the navigation supports Pinnacle, Bwin, SBO, WhilliamHill, PartyPokers, Bet365 for InPlay and Pinnacle, Bwin and SBO for PreMatch, but they will keep adding bookmakers. The navigation is untraceable by the bookmakers so you won’t get limited because of it. It supports running on several Remote or Virtual machines and navigating different logged-in bookmakers accounts upon surebet click. This is wonderful opportunity to take maximum benefit of a single surebet.

How does it work

OddStorm software delivers surebets every 1-3 seconds for InPlay and 15 seconds for PreMatch. This makes them the fastest surebets delivery service, but how does the navigation works? To find out if it is also fast enough for my needs I have made a test and will share my experience with you. On first place everything starts by running the navigation of course (navigation->run). You will have two windows opened and the left side window is your navigation panel and the right side window is the browser (Chrome) which the navigation will use. It is important not to close this window, because the navigation is merged with it and this is the only way to work. If you don’t have Chrome installed you will need to install it. Then from the navigation panel you can open the bookmakers in a different tabs on a different machines and login to the selected bookmakers. Then all what’s left is to start single clicking on the surebet from their Desktop App and the betting event page for the selected arbitrage will instantly open on your browser tabs. It is really fast process – less than 1 second to navigate you. Now just have to enter the amount and click “bet”. The way how easy to use and fast is this navigation was really impressive to me and I definitely recommend you to give it a try. For this purpose you will need to be subscribed to VIP Plus. The subscription price worth it for the quality and speed you will get. You can place surebets every few seconds so imagine how much money you can win.

For those who need extra help to learn how to use the navigation, OddStorm have prepared a training program http://www.arbitrageguides.com/sports-arbitrage/ where everything for sports arbitrage betting and how to use OddStorm is explained in details with many video tutorials and actual examples. Below you can take a look of one free video tutorial how OddStorm surebet navigation works.

Summary

OddStorm is a great choice for surebet newbies because of it’s navigation. It will also attract a good amount of Pro Arbers, because of the speed and quality of basically everything it includes! Congratulations on improvements and in the name of community we are awaiting more!

OddStorm was established in 2007 and provides high quality cross-market soccer surebets, middles and Polish middles. Since its launch they have been enhancing their service, adding bookmakers, markets and filters, and improving parsing algorithms and arbitrage detection systems. Currently OddStorm offers pre-match and in-play football arbitrage on their web site, having also developed a Windows application exclusively for live arbing (OddStorm InPlay application).

Main features

OddStorm collects odds on their own, without using third party providers. Their event matching system guarantees displaying almost all soccer tournaments, leagues and events matched against each bookmaker. They focus on football so that they can cover every major and minor league, with a dedicated team monitoring and working on the completeness of the coverage. Anyway, they have announced they will eventually add other sports in the future. They cover the following markets:

• 1X2
• 1X2 Corners
• Double Chance
• Over/Under
• Over/Under Home
• Over/Under Away
• Over/Under Corners
• Over/Under Home Corners
• OverUnder Away Corners
• GG/NG

• Odd/Even Home
• Odd/Even Away
• CorrectScore (as UnderGoals)
• AH (including DNB)

They also cover a high number of cross-market soccer surebets, middles and Polish middles. They currently offer 51 bookmakers for future events and 40 bookmakers for in-play arbitrage. Regarding periods, they cover 1st half, 2nd half, halftime and fulltime for in-play arbitrage. They only cover fulltime for prematch.

The refresh rate is only 1 second on the windows InPlay application. On their web site the refresh rate is 3 seconds for in-play and 15 seconds for prematch, but can be set to greater values according to each user’s preferences.

Special features

Besides arbitrage detection, OddStorm also offers odd comparison and odd history. Users can see the history of every odd, since first detected at OddStorm and the time of each change. Users can also compare odds from different bookmakers, by clicking on the event and selecting the market of choice.

OddStorm claims to prevent obvious error from being displayed, having many rules which determine these situations.

Users can set an alarm that will sound when the arbitrage percentage is higher than a predefined value.

OddStorm (the InPlay application in particular) has a huge speed regarding parsing and arbitrage generation and delivery. They scan asians and Pinnacle every 15 seconds and do not miss to catch a market trend which may produce an arbitrage. InPlay application scans every bookmaker in 1-3 second interval. These odds changes can be seen in odd history (as shown in the picture).

Filters

Users can specify the minimum and maximum arb percentage. The minimum allowed arbitrage can be chosen from the following: -1%, 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5%. The negative arbitrage can be used to take advantage of bonuses and rapidly fulfilling rollover requirements. The maximum allowed arbitrage can be chosen from: 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10% and 100%. These limits allow to prevent palp errors. On the InPlay application limits are the same, but users can write any value (instead of choosing from the list), for example, a minimum of 1.5% and a maximum of 300%

Middles and Polish middles have a probability value. The higher this value, the better (for middles) and the worst (for Polish middles). Users can set the minimum probability (between 4 and 10) for Middles and the maximum probability (between 2 and 3.5) for Polish middles.

OddStorm can consider all available events or just the ones that will be played in 1, 2, 7 or 30 days. As arbers we don’t want to keep our money stuck on a bet for a long time so we could chose to display only events for the next 2 days.

In the arbitrage window, users can dismiss the information they no longer want to see by filtering items, including specific odds, a specific match or a whole league. Dismissed information can be shown again by removing the applied filters.

The Windows InPlay application has more filter possibilities, including the following:

• Filter events for a small period of time (1, 2 or 5 minutes).
• Arbitrage outcome count (2, 3 or 4 legs)
• Events at half time break
• Events where current score is draw
• Minutes till half time break or end of match are less than given minutes
• Odd price is lower than a given value

Customisation

Users can customise bookmakers to be used for pre-match arbitrage and in-play arbitrage. Bookmakers can be optional or mandatory. For example, if you have most of your bankroll on a specific bookmaker, you can decide to force this bookie on all arbs displayed (set it as mandatory) and leave other bookies as optional. The latest version of the InPlay application has instant bookmaker filtering and allows predefining bookmaker filter sets.

Users can also set their time zone and chose among the following languages: English, Bulgarian, Czech, Swedish and Russian.

Next improvements

The Windows InPlay application will introduce interesting features in next versions. OddStorm is working on market customisation for each bookmaker and on multi-tab arbitrage windows to allow different rules and filters on each tab. They are also working on a major upgrade that will allow autologin and navigating to specific betting slips.

Calculator

Every surebet, middle or Polish middle can be calculated on the built in calculator. Users must specify the stake for one of the bet legs (outcomes) and OddStorm will calculate other stakes, the arbitrage percentage, return on each bet and profit (or loss).

The calculator allows users to change the odds, but does not support different currencies or commissions. Non subscribers are limited to 100 max stake

Support

Customer support can be contacted by email and they provide a very quick response. The site also provides a live chat area for paying subscribers, visible to all visitors. Skype support is also available, and OddStorm participate in Arbusers forum where they post information and answer users questions. In this forum they have a specific board with 10 threads at the time of our review. Although there is no user manual, they have posted several articles on their web site and Arbusers forum
