What is a sure bet?

Sure betting is a way which gives you 100% propability to win. You don't care about the end result of tha game, a sure bet will give you an amount of profit. There is no way to make a profit when we place bets in all 3 odds(1-X-2) in a soccer match. But when we do this in 3 different bookmakers maybe we can have a profit. Let's see this with an example. 3 bookmaker offer the following odds:

Calculations of sure bets

Now suppose you plan to win 300€ from each odd offer. You have to bet 300€/2.1=142.85€ in bookmaker A, 300€/3.3=90.91€ in bookmaker B and 300€/5.6=53.57€ in bookmaker C. Now your total betting amount is 142.85€+90.91€+53.57€=287.33. This means your winnings are 300€-287.33€. The sure bet percentage of your total betting amount is 300/287.33*100=4.4%.

Sure bets exist because the offered odds for the same game are different in the most bookmakers. If you find a sure bet you must handle fast. When a company detect that a sure bet exists they change the offered as fast as possible. This is another reason why comparing odds is very powerful.
