Arbitrage

Find exchange and dutching arbs with Radar

Scenario

You are not converting a bonus bet. You are staking cash and looking for a bet where the full combination returns a profit.

That means SR is the return to scan first.

Set the filters

Open Filters and set:

Radar searches eligible back and lay bets together. Back-only, back-lay, and supported mixed cross-market combinations share the same ranking.

Sort By
SR

SR ranks bets around the cash-staking result.

Books
Include or exclude

Exclude bookmakers or exchanges you cannot use. Radar can only build useful bets from accounts you can actually place with.

League, market, and time filters matter more for arbitrage than they might seem. A small edge on an obscure market may not be worth the account attention or the risk of prices moving.

As a rule of thumb, exchange arbs are usually cleaner because there are fewer legs, but they need liquidity and enough exchange balance for the liability. Dutching arbs avoid the lay bet and liability, but they usually need more accounts and faster execution.

Exchange arb path

An exchange arb is a bookmaker back bet paired with an exchange lay bet.

Start with the SR return. If the bet is worth checking, confirm:

  • the bookmaker back price is still available
  • the exchange lay price is still available
  • there is enough liquidity for the lay stake
  • the exchange liability is acceptable

Open and use the exchange calculator to confirm the lay stake and liability.

If the lay price moves, recalculate before placing. Do not assume the arb is still there.

Dutching arb path

A dutching arb covers the market by backing the relevant outcomes.

Start with the SR return. If the bet is worth checking, confirm:

  • every back price is still available
  • every bookmaker or exchange account involved is usable
  • the event gives you enough time to place all legs
  • rounded stakes do not erase the edge

Open and use the dutching calculator to work out the stake for each leg.

Dutching arbs can be useful when bookmaker prices line up well, but they usually need more accounts and more bets placed quickly.

Save, place, and track

Once you have confirmed the live prices and staking:

  1. Save the play with , or be ready to save it immediately after placing.
  2. Place the legs only after confirming the current prices still match the calculation.
  3. Recalculate in Bet Stats if any price, stake, or liquidity changes.
  4. Update the saved play if the placed odds or stakes changed.
  5. Add it from Scratchpad to Tracker once the saved details match what you placed.

Small edges disappear quickly

Arbs are sensitive to price movement, liquidity, and rounded stakes. If any leg changes, recalculate before continuing.

Common mistakes

  • Looking at SNR when you are staking cash.
  • Ignoring exchange liability.
  • Placing one leg before confirming the other leg is still available.
  • Letting rounded dutching stakes erase the profit.
  • Taking a tiny edge on a market that is not worth the account attention.
