It's taken me less than two months of value betting to make as much as I made from matched betting in a year. View the process as more of an investment than betting, think long-term. Trust the system and keep placing bets.

The only thing you need is a computer and some patience. My starting capital was €2500, and so far I’ve earned +€11000, which is a lot considering it’s tax-free. Use one or two hours per day, and you can make some big profits.

RebelBetting is surely the best arbitrage software. It is the fastest and most professional software that directly points out the "mistakes" of bookmakers or the so-called arbitrage bets.
Asian handicap betting is a very popular market to bet on and is one of many supported markets of RebelBetting. A handicap in betting means that the bookmaker has given a virtual advantage to one of the competitors.
They are often called Asian handicaps, or just 'AH', because of their popularity in many Asian countries. They are also known as line betting, the spread or points betting.
The main reason for handicapping is that the draw result is eliminated. Read all about Asian handicap bets in the Asian Handicap Betting: Ultimate Step-By-Step-Guide.
Draw no bet is a special case where no actual handicap is applied, but the draw is still eliminated. This is why it's also sometimes called AH0 (Asian Handicap 0). If the match ends in a draw, your stake will be returned to you. No profit, no loss.
The team gets half a goal handicap. This means the match including handicap cannot end in a draw. One of the teams will always win with "half a goal" when a handicap is applied. Unlike Draw No Bet, there is no money back in any case. You will either win or lose your bet.
A quarter-goal Asian handicap is a 50/50 split between the two surrounding handicaps, with half of the total stake going to each one of them. This means that a 1.75 handicap is really half a 1.5 and half a 2.0 handicap.
If you see a quarter Asian Handicap of say -0.75 on RebelBetting, it may show up as "-0.5, -1.0" on some bookmakers like Bet365. This is because bookmakers split the Asian Handicap bet into two halves, with half of the stake going towards one handicap and half going towards the other. Similarly, if you see an Asian Handicap of +1.75, it is the same thing as "+1.5, +2.0"
So, if you want to place an Asian Handicap bet of -0.75 on Bet365, simply bet on the "-0.5,-1.0" option (don't bet on both -0.5 and -1.0 separately).
Below is a handy Asian handicap outcome table describing the various handicap types, and what happens in various scenarios:

A potentially very profitable situation can occur in sure betting and they are called middles. A middle is an arbitrage bet where if a match ends with a certain result, you can either win one bet and get the other bet refunded, or win both your bets.
Read all about middles in the Ultimate guide to sure betting.
Lay betting is an important part of sure betting.
The difference between a regular bet (also known as a back bet) and a lay bet, is that on a back bet you bet on a team/player to win. If you were to place a lay bet on the same team/player, you bet on that team/player NOT to win. You can place a lay bet on exchanges such as Betfair, Matchbook and Smarkets.
Read more about lay betting and see lay bet examples in the Ultimate guide to sure betting.
Cross market sure bets are a mix of two or more different markets. There are many possible combinations that can result in a sure bet. The examples below illustrate two basic combinations and how to calculate the results. Learn all about cross market bets and much more in the Ultimate sure betting guide.

The above examples are only two of many combinations available. Currently we support over 17.000 cross market combinations!

The section below covers the most common bet types. But first, we'll have to address the fact that bookmakers can be somewhat inconsistent in naming bet types.
It's quite frustrating when you're about to place a bet, to not even find the correct bet type on the bookmaker website. But the bet type might just be presented with a different name than what you are looking for. This is because some bet types are referred to differently in different parts of the world. For a sports betting beginner, this can be rather confusing. But with a little practice, you'll soon learn how each bookmaker presents their odds.
Read more about the different bet types in the Ultimate Guide to Sure Betting.
Also known as straight bet, DNB or 2-way bet.
One of the most popular bet types and is offered in various sports. This market simply means betting on a specific team to win a game, match or other event.
The term "win" is used almost everywhere, while "moneyline" is mostly used in the United States and a few other regions. The term "straight bet" can also be used for this type of wager.
Draw No Bet
In the case of three possible outcomes, as in soccer, a draw results in your stake being returned. Hence the name "draw no bet". Additionally, an Asian handicap of 0 (AH0) is the same as Draw No Bet, as it also eliminates the option of a draw.
1X2 is one of the most popular bet types in soccer. A 1X2 bet involves a match of two teams with three possible outcomes: Home (1), Draw (X) and Away (2). This market may also be known as Full Time Result, Match Betting, or Three-Way Bet.
Also known as point spread, puckline (hockey), game handicap (tennis) or map handicap (e-sports)
A handicap in betting means that the bookmaker has given a virtual advantage to one of the competitors. The main reason for handicapping is that the draw result is eliminated. (The two odds also move closer to 2.00, which can help even out your variance).
With an Asian Handicap, a draw is known as a push and you are refunded part or all of your original wager.
AH0 = DNB (Draw no bet)
Additionally, you can use the level Asian handicap betting market which displays the handicap as 0. If the game ended in a draw, your stake would be returned – effectively achieving the same outcome as a Draw No Bet.
Half and quarter Asian Handicaps
Half and quarter Asian handicap is also known as a split handicap because the initial bet is split between two handicaps.
Read more about Asian Handicap betting
Also known as 3-way handicap or 1X2 handicap
European handicap is basically a 3-way bet, similar to a 1X2 match result bet. In matches where there is a difference in strength between the two teams, a handicap is placed on the underdog, to even out the match.
The difference with Asian handicap is that the EH is always an integer number. Instead of placing an Asian Handicap of -1,5 goals or -1,75 goals, the European handicap is always of a -1, -2, -3 etc. kind.
If you bet on a European Handicap, a draw is possible, but a European Handicap draw can only be achieved if the favourite team matches the goal handicap.
Also known as Totals, Goal line
Over/under bets are typically placed on soccer and basketball games but are common in other sports as well. You bet on the total number of goals/points that will be scored in the match, no matter which team. In tennis, you can bet on the total number of sets or games that will be played before the match is over.
Who wins the match is irrelevant. Bookmakers will offer odds and set a line at what they estimate the total goals or points in the match are likely to be.
Example: In a football match, if you bet on over 3 goals, you lose your bet if only one or two goals are scored and win if more than three goals are scored. If exactly three goals are scored, your stake will be refunded.
Half point over/under example: If you bet on "under 2.5 goals" and there are one or two goals in the game, you win. If there are three or more, you lose the bet. The middle option is effectively removed in a half-point over/under.
A double chance bet allows you to cover two of the three possible outcomes in a match with one bet. This type of bet is often offered for soccer games. When betting on a Double chance bet there are three possible options to bet on:
Home or Draw (1X) – Your bet will win if the home team wins or the match ends in a draw. It will lose if the away team wins.
Draw or Away (X2) – Your bet wins if the away team wins or it's a draw. You lose if the home team wins.
Home or Away(12) – With this bet, you win if there's a winner regardless of whether it's the home or away team. Your bet will lose if the match ends in a draw.
Lay betting is a bet type offered by betting exchanges and is a kind of bet where you bet on something not to happen. With a regular bet (also known as a back bet) you bet on something to happen.
Lay betting basically gives bettors an option to play the role of the bookmaker, offering odds to sell a bet instead of to back a bet. Learn more about Lay betting.
As you might know, regular middles are positive arbs with a middle. For instance, you could bet on an American Football middle:
Tennessee (-7) @ 1.91
Pittsburgh (7.5) @ 2.14
If the middle doesn't hit, you will make your regular arb percentage (0.92% in the example above). If the middle does hit (Tennessee wins with exactly 7 points), you will win your bet on Pittsburgh and get your bet on Tennessee refunded (making a profit of around 50%).
A negative middle has a negative arb percentage, but the spread can be bigger:
Tennessee (-6) @ 1.91
Pittsburgh (7.5) @ 2.04
This middle has a negative arb percentage (-1.36%), but the middle is 1.5 points. In this example, if Tennessee wins with 6 points, you will make a profit of around 50%. But if they win with 7 points, you will win both your bets (making a profit of nearly 100%).
Think of negative middles as a long term investment
In the second example above, the negative middle was -1.36%. This means that if the middle does not hit, you will lose 1.36% of your total stake. This may sound pretty bad, but think about it for a second; You only need to hit the spread once every 73.5 times in order for the arb to be profitable in the long run.
An additional upside on negative middles
As negative middles aren't obviously in an arb situation, they usually stick around longer than ordinary middles and arbs. This means more time for you to bet on them, and less risk that the bookmakers will get a whiff of what your up to!
An inverted middle is very risky to bet on. In contrast to a standard middle, you will make a profit if the total or line falls inside a certain range, an inverted middle, also called a Polish middle, you will profit if the total or line falls outside a specific range. If the "middle" in an inverted middle occurs, you could lose both your bets, hence causing severe damage to your bankroll. Learn all about inverted middles in the Ultimate guide to sure betting.
Basically, when betting on inverted middles, to obtain a profit you want the Asian Handicap or the Over/Under to fall outside of the middle.
Polish middles are the most dangerous type of middles as there is a risk you can lose both of your bets, but there is of course also a chance you will profit. This is a form of betting on the opposite of a negative middles strategy. Rather than slightly losing money each time until eventually getting a big win, you win a high percentage return on your stake almost every game until you won't. As an example, you might win 15% every game, and then suddenly take a 100% loss.
This method is more related to gambling than actual arbitrage betting. However, it could be a really profitable investment because there is a high percentage of profit. It will be a benefit if you have skills in regular football betting to know what are the abilities of the teams and to know which Polish Middles condition is more probably to happen. That being said, do not bet on inverted middles if you are not 100% sure of what you´re doing. It is only recommended for very advanced sports traders who have high enough working capital to withstand a total loss on a bet. If you are new ti sure betting, your bankroll can be compromised by a Polish middle.
