Arbitrage betting API

Arbitrage betting API — UK surebets & arbs

An arbitrage betting API for UK football: scan surebets and arbs across Bet365, Betfair, Paddy Power and more — profit %, stake splits, REST JSON built for scanners and alerts.

Two ways to query
/v1/football/arbitrage
/v1/football/events/EVENT_ID/arbitrage

Use the day feed to scan, and the per-event endpoint when you want to refresh a specific match.

How it’s used

Build scanners, alerts, and stake plans.

Most arbitrage products follow the same flow: scan today’s opportunities, filter by market/profit, then generate a stake plan for the two best legs. The endpoints below are designed to be copy‑pasteable into cron jobs and alerting pipelines.

1) Scan the day

Call the day feed, then filter by min_profit, market, or competition.

2) Refresh specific events

Use the per-event endpoint to refresh odds and update stake splits before placing.

What is an arbitrage betting API?

An arbitrage (surebet / arbs) API surfaces opportunities where combining the best odds from different bookmakers creates a positive edge. Responses typically include the event, market, legs, profit percent, and optional stake splits.
