UnjuicedArbitrage looks for opposing prices whose combined implied probabilities are below 100%. The displayed profit depends on both legs being accepted at the assumed prices and settling as expected.
Read and filter the board
- Select the sports, markets, and books you can use.
- Check timing and sort by ROI % or Game time.
- Read both selections, including period and exact line. The legs must cover the intended outcomes under compatible rules.
- Inspect both operators and prices.
- Enter a hypothetical total stake in the bet plan/calculator and review the split and return for each outcome.
- Recheck the accepted prices and stakes if you proceed at the operators.
What the numbers mean
- ROI / Profit %: calculated net profit divided by the combined stake.
- Total stake: money allocated across both legs, not the amount for each leg.
- Stake split: the allocation used to balance payouts under the quoted odds.
- Payout: returned stake plus winnings on a winning leg.
- Net profit: total returned across the legs minus total staked.
The scanner finding a pair is different from your operators accepting that pair. Unjuiced does not place the bets.
Worked example
Suppose Over 44.5 is +110 and Under 44.5 is also +110, with identical settlement rules and no additional costs. A hypothetical $50 on each side risks $100 in total. The winning side returns $105, so the pair returns $5 net, or 5% ROI.
At unequal prices, equal stakes will not usually balance the outcomes. Use the Arbitrage and Hedge calculator to inspect each resulting payout. Rounding a stake or accepting less on one side changes the math; review the recalculated result.
Compare the market rules
Check the event, period, side, line, overtime treatment, player participation requirements, and void rules. A full-game total and a regulation-only total do not necessarily settle together. Whole-number lines can introduce pushes; multi-outcome markets require accounting for every possible outcome.
The label alone is not enough. Use each operator's market rules when confirming the pairing.
If a price changes or one leg fails
A displayed pair can stop being an arbitrage before both legs are accepted. If neither is placed, refresh the calculation with current odds. If only one is accepted, the position is an uncovered wager until another accepted position changes that exposure.
Inspect the actual open stake and available prices. Do not assume the remaining leg is positive EV or that adding another bet guarantees recovery. The calculator can compare the outcomes of an alternative hedge before any further action.
A voided or partially accepted leg also changes the result. Use the actual tickets as the record of what was accepted.
Troubleshooting
- One book does not show the market: it may be suspended, unavailable in your region, or no longer offered at the displayed line.
- ROI changed after editing stakes: payouts are no longer equally balanced, or rounding/size constraints changed them.
- The pair disappeared: one quote may have moved enough to remove the price gap.
- No opportunities: filters may be restrictive, or no currently matching pairs may exist.
