Example 1
A regular threeway (1X2) arbitrage, but replacing the bet on the home team with a simple Asian handicap bet.
| Bet on | Bookmaker | Bet type |
|---|---|---|
| Team 1 | Bookie 1 | AH1 (0) |
| Draw | Bookie 2 | X |
| Team 2 | Bookie 3 | 2 |
Outcomes
| Team 1 wins | A draw | Team 2 wins |
|---|---|---|
| You will win your bet at Bookie1. | You will get your stake refunded at Bookie1 and win your draw-bet at Bookie2. | You will win your bet at Bookie3. |
Example 2
A regular threeway (1X2) arbitrage, replacing the bet on the home team with a quarter Asian handicap bet.
| Bet on | Bookmaker | Bet type |
|---|---|---|
| Team 1 | Bookie 1 | AH1 (-0.25) |
| Draw | Bookie 2 | X |
| Team 2 | Bookie 3 | 2 |
Outcomes
| Team 1 wins | A draw | Team 2 wins |
|---|---|---|
| You will win your bet at Bookie1. | You will win your draw-bet at Bookie2.* | You will win your bet at Bookie3. |
*Also you will get half your stake at Bookie1 refunded (Since AH1(-0.25) implies that you bet one half of your stake on AH1(0) and the other half on AH1(-0.5))
