Find the best price for each outcome, convert the odds to implied probabilities and compare the combined total.

Sports betting arbitrage works by comparing the best available odds for every required outcome of a betting market. Each price is converted into an implied probability and the probabilities are added together. A total below 100% indicates a theoretical arbitrage opportunity. Because bookmaker odds change frequently, the calculation must be based on current available prices.
