Surebet · arbs API

Surebet API & arbs API for UK football

Surface surebets / arbs across UK bookmakers with profit % and stake plans — the same engine as our arbitrage betting API, tuned for sports arbitrage scanners.

Day feed + per-event refresh
/v1/football/arbitrage
/v1/football/events/EVENT_ID/arbitrage

Filter with min_profit to control volume before you alert or place.

How it’s used

Scan surebets, then refresh stakes.

Typical sports arbitrage flow: poll the day feed, filter by profit, then refresh a specific event before staking.

1) Scan

Call the day feed with date and min_profit.

2) Refresh

Hit the per-event endpoint to update legs and stake splits.
