Arbitrage betting API

Arbitrage betting API - UK surebets & arbs

Looking for an arbitrage betting API for UK football? Use ready-made surebets from /arbitrage (profit %, stake splits), or build your own scanner on /odds and /odds/best. Same UK bookmakers either path.

Two approaches
/arbitrage - ready-made arbs
/odds or /odds/best - DIY scanner

Use the arb endpoint when you want opportunities out of the box; use odds endpoints when you want your own detection logic.

What arb API buyers need

Ready-made surebets, or your own detection math.

An arbitrage betting API should give you opportunities you can act on, or the odds to find them yourself. UK Odds API ships a dedicated arb feed with market, legs, profit percent, and optional stake plans. Prefer full control? Build a custom scanner on the same normalised UK odds.

Ready-made: day feed

Call /arbitrage for today’s opportunities, then filter by min_profit, market, or competition.

Ready-made: per-event

Refresh a single event_id before you place - odds move; stake splits should move with them.

DIY: odds / best odds

Pull full grids or best odds and run your own surebet detection - custom bookmakers, markets, or thresholds.

Same UK bookmakers

Either path uses the same normalised codes across Bet365, Betfair, Paddy Power, and the rest of the UK board.

Ready-made arbitrage endpoints

Opportunities with legs, profit %, and stake plan - copy‑paste into cron or workers.

GET /v1/football/arbitrage?date=YYYY-MM-DD&min_profit=0.5&limit=50

GET /v1/football/events/EVENT_ID/arbitrage?min_profit=0.5&limit=25

Replace EVENT_ID with an event_id from events (or from an opportunity in the day feed).

DIY scanner - odds endpoints

Build your own arb logic on fixtures + best/full odds when you need custom detection.

GET /v1/football/events?schedule_date=YYYY-MM-DD&has_odds=true&per_page=25

GET /v1/football/events/EVENT_ID/odds/best?odds_format=decimal

GET /v1/football/events/EVENT_ID/odds?package=core&odds_format=decimal

Same feed as comparison and value tools - your code decides what counts as an arb.

Example /arbitrage response

What the ready-made endpoint returns - skip this shape if you are computing arbs yourself from /odds.
