There have been multiple reports of unethical business practices by 1XBet:
Some customers seem to use them without any issues at all though.
Be careful when using them. Use only small sums, or avoid altogether if unsure.
If you frequently turn over a majority of your bankroll every day, it makes sense to adjust your bankroll continuously. The reason is that the Kelly stake sizing is calculated using your bankroll. If you have half your bankroll in unsettled bets, and still calculate stake sizing based on your full bankroll, you are taking more risk than you might want and variance will increase.
On the other hand, if you have a larger bankroll and only turn over a small percentage of it every day, there is little need to update your bankroll. Also, if you bet with just a small part of your entire bankroll, and use the rest as a reserve – you probably don’t need to make any adjustments.
When you are value betting, you will get the correct Kelly stake size even with multiple open bets. Just go to options and make sure Adjust for open bets is enabled. With this feature, there is no need to manually update your bankroll.
Asian handicap betting is a very popular market to bet on and is one of many supported markets of RebelBetting. A handicap in betting means that the bookmaker has given a virtual advantage to one of the competitors.
They are often called Asian handicaps, or just ‘AH’, because of their popularity in many Asian countries. They are also known as line betting, the spread or points betting.
The main reason for handicapping is that the draw result is eliminated. Read all about Asian handicap bets in the Asian Handicap Betting: Ultimate Step-By-Step-Guide.
Draw no bet is a special case where no actual handicap is applied, but the draw is still eliminated. This is why it’s also sometimes called AH0 (Asian Handicap 0). If the match ends in a draw, your stake will be returned to you. No profit, no loss.
The team gets half a goal handicap. This means the match including handicap cannot end in a draw. One of the teams will always win with “half a goal” when a handicap is applied. Unlike Draw No Bet, there is no money back in any case. You will either win or lose your bet.
A quarter-goal Asian handicap is a 50/50 split between the two surrounding handicaps, with half of the total stake going to each one of them. This means that a 1.75 handicap is really half a 1.5 and half a 2.0 handicap.
If you see a quarter Asian Handicap of say -0.75 on RebelBetting, it may show up as “-0.5, -1.0” on some bookmakers like Bet365. This is because bookmakers split the Asian Handicap bet into two halves, with half of the stake going towards one handicap and half going towards the other. Similarly, if you see an Asian Handicap of +1.75, it is the same thing as “+1.5, +2.0”
So, if you want to place an Asian Handicap bet of -0.75 on Bet365, simply bet on the “-0.5,-1.0” option (don’t bet on both -0.5 and -1.0 separately).
Below is a handy Asian handicap outcome table describing the various handicap types, and what happens in various scenarios:

Cross market sure bets are a mix of two or more different markets. There are many possible combinations that can result in a sure bet. The examples below illustrate two basic combinations and how to calculate the results. Learn all about cross market bets and much more in the Ultimate sure betting guide.
A regular threeway (1X2) arbitrage, but replacing the bet on the home team with a simple Asian handicap bet.
| Bet on | Bookmaker | Bet type |
|---|---|---|
| Team1 | Bookie1 | AH1(0) |
| Draw | Bookie2 | X |
| Team2 | Bookie3 | 2 |
| Team1 win: | You will win your bet at Bookie1. |
| A draw: | You will get your stake refunded at Bookie1 and win your draw-bet at Bookie2. |
| Team2 win: | You will win your bet at Bookie3. |
A regular threeway (1X2) arbitrage, replacing the bet on the home team with a quarter Asian handicap bet.
| Bet on | Bookmaker | Bet type |
|---|---|---|
| Team1 | Bookie1 | AH1(-0.25) |
| Draw | Bookie2 | X |
| Team2 | Bookie3 | 2 |
| Team1 win: | You will win your bet at Bookie1. |
| A draw: | You will win your draw-bet at Bookie2. Also you will get half your stake at Bookie1 refunded (Since AH1(-0.25) implies that you bet one half of your stake on AH1(0) and the other half on AH1(-0.5)) |
| Team2 win: | You will win your bet at Bookie3. |
The above examples are only two of many combinations available. Currently we support over 17.000 cross market combinations!
We recommend that you use Neteller or Skrill (Moneybookers) as your E-wallet. With an E-wallet account, you will avoid most of the transaction fees to and from bookmakers. Often, bookmakers charge you a fee if you deposit and/or withdraw with VISA or MasterCard.
Opening your E-wallet account is easy, but you will need to verify certain things with them (depending on what E-wallet you choose). Please be advised that this verification process could take a few days – but it is time well spent in the long run!
Even if you are completely new to the world of profitable sports betting we are sure you have heard of expected value, this is a crucial thing to grasp to become a professional and successful sports bettor. Expected value is a common concept used to determine the average outcome of a bet if it were to be placed repeatedly over a long period.
It helps bettors assess whether a particular bet is likely to be profitable or not in the long run. The expected value can be positive (indicating a potential profit) or negative (indicating a potential loss). Understanding and calculating expected value is crucial for making informed and strategic decisions in sports betting.
To understand why value betting works, when betting with sports betting software, you need to grasp the basics first. Let’s talk about some key terminology surrounding the concept of expected value.
Value is the percentage you see beside every value bet in RebelBetting. This is the value (also called edge, ROI or yield) of this particular odds right now compared to the “true odds”. Note that a value might decrease or increase closer to match start, as the bookmakers converge closer to the true probability. This is called the closing line.
Positive Expected Value (+EV) is a fundamental concept that assesses the potential profitability of an investment opportunity.
This concept is crucial for bettors aiming to make informed decisions based on mathematical expectations. By understanding the expected value formula, you can evaluate bets effectively. For example, in a sports betting context, analyzing probabilities and potential outcomes helps bettors identify +EV opportunities in a sea of varying odds. By consistently seeking bets with positive expected values over the long run, you can strategically manage risk and maximize returns in real-life betting scenarios.
Another crucial concept to grasp to stay profitable in sports betting is Negative Expected Value (-EV), representing scenarios where the long-run average value of an investment is less than the initial stake. Calculated using the expected value formula, it involves determining the weighted average of all possible outcomes.
Understanding this concept helps bettors avoid high-risk bets with unfavourable outcomes, as it represents a mathematically calculated likelihood of loss over the long run. Later on, we will dive deeper into how to calculate the expected value and explain this further.
Discover how RebelBetting’s Profit Results Tool helps you visualize your betting success with detailed graphs and data analysis. This is a betting simulator tool that will help you understand how you can gain long-term profit from value betting. Track variance, expected value (EV), and profits across different datasets to optimize your betting strategy. Try the results simulator tool yourself here.
Closing Line Value (CLV) is based on the sharp bookmaker’s odds just before match start. We call this the true odds. This is proven to be the best predictor of the outcome of a match, with accuracy uncannily close to 100%.
We use CLV as the predictor of your expected value (EV). Both these terms can be used, and they mean the same thing in RebelBetting.
If you regularly bet on odds higher than the closing line, you will be profitable. This is called beating the closing line. Value betting customers beat the closing line over 80% of the time.
Note that even though the sharp bookmakers make extremely accurate predictions, this does not mean you will win every bet. You often bet on value bets with true odds over 2.0 (lower than a 50% chance of winning), and often the underdog wins. This means your actual profit will at times differ a lot from the profit predicted by the CLV. This is called variance.
Variance measures the difference between your profit and the CLV. Or how far a set of numbers are spread out from their average value.
Variance means you will experience both downswings and amazing profits when value betting. Here we explain variance and the importance of thinking long-term.
Profit (green) and the closing line value (CLV, in grey). CLV is your expected value, over time.
Profit, ROI and Yield measure your actual results, which depend on the outcome of the matches. Read more about the difference between ROI and Yield. In short, yield is the profit percentage per bet, or per euro staked. ROI (return on investment), is how much your bankroll has increased since the start.
Flat profit (or unit profit) is used when comparing users, betting systems or tipsters against each other, without taking bankroll size and betting strategy into account. It’s the profit you would have achieved if you used a flat staking strategy (also called fixed staking). This means betting one “unit” (1% of your bankroll) at each bet. A unit is different for every user, it can be €10 or €100 – since it’s a relative number you can easily compare the results.
Note that betting using the Kelly criterion (a proportional staking strategy) will improve your profits compared to flat staking.
To view your value betting profit and CLV, they are shown at the top of the BetTracker, and also in your detailed reports.
Downswings can feel disheartening and unfair. But it’s something you will have to handle, because they are unavoidable. But if you don’t give up, you will also overcome them all.
So, how do you handle the psychological mind game of variance when betting? This video explains the risk strategy and teaches you how to cope with the rocky ride of variance. Do not underestimate the importance of long-term thinking to make a sustainable value betting profit.
It’s easy to get stuck focusing on the downswings. This is because we all suffer from loss aversion – the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining.
If you toss a coin 1500 times, there is a 52% chance you will get a streak of 10 heads in a row. This means if you place 1500 bets with an average true odds of 2.0 you have to expect 10 losses in a row. Or 10 wins. See this calculator.
But remember, this is with a 50/50 chance. With value betting you are always tossing a coin that is weighted in your favor, so your wins will outweigh your losses by around 4.5% per bet and euro staked.
If you’re having a downswing, there’s no need to panic. Your results will over time get closer to the expected value. This is because of two statistical tendencies: the law of large numbers and regression to the mean.
Explains that the average of the results obtained from a large number of trials should be close to the expected value, and will tend to become closer as more trials are performed.
This explains why your results tend to, over time, move closer and align with your expected value. Here are the real -life results of RebelBetting members value betting since 2020:
This is all about how data evens out. It basically states that if a variable is extreme the first time you measure it, it will be closer to the average the next time you measure it. Large downswings from the expected value (a losing streak) is an extreme outcome and will tend to revert back to EV.
So if you have an expected value of 3%, your actual results will, over time, even out to 3% yield (profit per dollar spent). Once again, have patience and think long-term.
The probability of a coin to land on Heads is 50%. But assume you get the odds of 2.10 on Heads and bet €10.
To calculate the expected value of the bet you can use this formula:
(profit per bet * probability of winning in decimals) – (loss per bet * probability of losing in decimals).
In this case: (€11 * 0.5) – (€10 * 0.5) = €0.5
Therefore you would expect to make an average profit of €0.5 (or 5%) for each €10 bet because the odds offered are better than the implied odds of the coin toss.
However, after only one toss you would have either lost €10 or earned €11, not won €0.5. So if you only place 1 bet, the variance will be huge.
Variance is particularly high when the sample size is small, for instance at the start of your value betting career:
Imagine if we place value bets with 4% value, at odds 2.00 with 1% of our stake. If the first bet loses your ROI is -1% but your yield is a scary sounding -100% (because your first and total stake was lost). If you then place two more bets which win, your ROI is just +1% but your yield is a fantastic +33%. This high variance will continue for some time, usually for hundreds of bets, especially if you have a streak of bad or good luck.
After placing 1000 bets at 5% value (with win probability 53%), there is still a 25% risk that you will get 10 losses in a row!
This might make a scary-looking downswing. As bad as that sounds, the upside more than makes up for it. The chance of getting 10 wins in a row with that edge is much more likely; 56% over 1000 bets!
The more bets you place, the variance will have far less effect and your results will over time move closer and align with your expected value. Note that we’re not talking about a few hundred bets, it may require a couple of thousand bets. Read more about statistical significance in sports betting.
It’s important to see value betting as a long-term way to profit. The number of bets, as well as using a staking and max bet strategy, play an important role in reducing variance. Here are some tips on how to reduce variance when value betting.
In the world of sports betting, understanding expected value (EV), closing line value (CLV), and variance is essential for long-term profitability. Expected value calculates the average outcome of repeated bets, guiding bettors to identify profitable opportunities. CLV measures the accuracy of predictions against the closing odds, crucial for assessing betting value.
Meanwhile, variance acknowledges the inevitable ups and downs in betting results, emphasizing the importance of a long-term perspective and disciplined strategy. By mastering these concepts, bettors can navigate uncertainties and optimize their chances of sustainable success in sports betting

By enabling the hide low tier events checkbox, most value- and sure bets low tier leagues and tournaments will be hidden from the Bets-view. This is a filter specific option, which means that it is only applied for a specific filter (if you use multiple filters).
Enabling this option will decrease the number of bets significantly, as most smaller leagues will not be shown, but might help you stay under the bookmaker’s radar longer. The default setting is to show low tier events.
Exceptions
Tennis tournaments will always show, even lower tiers.
Note that a small number low tier leagues might still show even when this setting is active due to different names and format across bookmakers.
When betting on horse racing, there are two rules which you need to be familiar with. Those two rules are Tattersall’s rule and Dead Heat rule. Tattersall’s rule applies when a horse is withdrawn from the race before start. Dead Head rule applies when two or more horses are deemed winners.
Horse arbs in RebelBetting are always between a regular bookmaker and an exchange. These rules generally doesn’t affect your arb since you back and lay the same horse.
When you place your bet, the odds displayed are based on all horses running in the race. If a horse is a non runner, i.e. not starting, the price will be revised for the remaining horses. Most bookmakers follow the same reduction table. The table can be found here
However, betting exchanges apply the reduction a bit different. While Rule 4 is normally applied on the winnings, exchanges applies the rule on total return.
A term to denote a tie between two or, rarely, more runners in a race. If there is a Dead Heat, you will win part of your bet and lose part of your bet. This rarely occurs.

You don’t have to!
The integrated calculator of RebelBetting automatically calculates the bet size at every bookmaker depending on:
You can also enter a fixed stake at any bookmaker and the other stakes will update themselves accordingly.
There is also the option to maximize your stake to a certain outcome if you wish (and therefore profit more if that outcome hits).
To reduce the impact of variance and maximize your profit potential, we recommend aiming for 20-30 value bets per day. This volume translates to approximately 600-900 bets per month, which is generally considered a good target for value betting. Remember though, that more bets equals more profit in the long run. Try to see 20-30 bets per day as a baseline.
Remember, while volume is important, always prioritize the quality of your bets. It’s better to place fewer high-quality value bets than to force low-value bets just to meet a quota.

If you throw a coin ten times and gets ten heads in a row, it’s just an unlikely random event.
If you throw a coin ten thousand times and gets 55% heads, you know the coin is unbalanced.
Why? Because of statistical significance. Ten coin flips are just not enough data to draw any conclusions from.
It’s the same in sports betting.
If you place 100 bets with an average odds of 2.0 and get a 5% yield (profit per dollar invested), there’s still a one-in-three chance you got that result just out of pure luck. The p-value is below 0.3.
The number of bets required to reach statistical significance is much higher than what most people think intuitively.
For example, if you after 1100 bets still have 5% yield – you’re most likely on to something. The risk of these results being pure chance is now just 5% (p <0.05). So there is a 95% chance that there is something else going on. Like skill, or a profitable value betting product.
A p-value below 0.05 is generally accepted as “statistically significant” – but that is a highly arbitrary limit. There is nothing stopping you from requiring stricter proof, like a p-value below 0.01.
If you want to dive deeper into the math behind this, I recommend reading about statistical significance, the t-test and the p-value.

An inverted middle is very risky to bet on. In contrast to a standard middle, you will make a profit if the total or line falls inside a certain range, an inverted middle, also called a Polish middle, you will profit if the total or line falls outside a specific range. If the “middle” in an inverted middle occurs, you could lose both your bets, hence causing severe damage to your bankroll. Learn all about inverted middles in the Ultimate guide to sure betting.
Basically, when betting on inverted middles, to obtain a profit you want the Asian Handicap or the Over/Under to fall outside of the middle.
Polish middles are the most dangerous type of middles as there is a risk you can lose both of your bets, but there is of course also a chance you will profit. This is a form of betting on the opposite of a negative middles strategy. Rather than slightly losing money each time until eventually getting a big win, you win a high percentage return on your stake almost every game until you won’t. As an example, you might win 15% every game, and then suddenly take a 100% loss.
This method is more related to gambling than actual arbitrage betting. However, it could be a really profitable investment because there is a high percentage of profit. It will be a benefit if you have skills in regular football betting to know what are the abilities of the teams and to know which Polish Middles condition is more probably to happen. That being said, do not bet on inverted middles if you are not 100% sure of what you´re doing. It is only recommended for very advanced sports traders who have high enough working capital to withstand a total loss on a bet. If you are new ti sure betting, your bankroll can be compromised by a Polish middle.
It mostly depends on if the bookmakers will accept you as a customer. The more bookmakers you can use, the easier betting will be. The laws regarding online betting in your country will affect the bookmakers you’re allowed to register on. Sometimes a bookmaker will have some arbitrary business reason to restrict users from certain countries. (Note that the concept of arbitrage trading in itself is legal all over the world, as long as online betting is allowed).
If you’re from the UK, Scandinavia, most of Europe, Japan, South Korea or Australia, you’re in luck! You will be welcomed by most bookmakers. We don’t keep an updated list of allowed countries on all bookmakers, and since this information can be difficult to find, it might be quicker just to ask the bookmakers, or try to register. You can however check the most popular bookmakers in your country that are used by your fellow RebelBettors.
Even if you’re from a country with restrictions, there is hope! We have RebelBetting users from over 140 countries.
One option is to use the account of a friend in another country, and a VPN to effectively surf from that country. Note that this might break the terms & conditions of some bookmakers, so it’s your obligation to make sure this is OK. You can find more detailed information about this on the internet.

As long as the bookmakers compete against each other to get customers and are not in complete agreement of odds, there will always be sports arbitrage (or ‘sure betting‘) opportunities. Here’s why:
There are a lot of online sportsbooks. And a lot of bookmakers means a lot of competition over the customers. Sportsbooks use high odds to attract customers. And since odds are basically their estimation (+ their risk management), it’s basically a calculated guess. And bookmakers will not always agree with their competitors guesses.
This is why sports arbitrage works so well. By betting on two (or more) sufficiently high odds on different sportsbooks, you can cover all outcomes of a match and be guaranteed to win. As a RebelBetting user, you can take advantage of this situation and change the game to your advantage.
Surebets differ in one crucial way compared to arbitrages in the financial markets. If you purchase gold on one exchange and then sell it in another, the price will be nearly identical. Financial arbitrages very rarely appear, and when they do they are immediately taken advantage of and disappear. The market always strives to be in perfect balance. This is not true for sports arbitrage.
If you think of the bookmakers as the markets, the odds can be seen as the price on a specific product. However, the odds/price is not reliant on supply and demand like in the stock market. It’s more a combination of the bookmakers estimation, risk management and market positioning (having attractive odds, a higher margin and possibly more risk). This is why odds are rarely identical across all bookmakers, and why thousands of sports arbitrages exist at any given moment.

The Kelly criterion is a staking strategy that calculates the optimal stake for maximum long-term growth of your bankroll, based on the value of the bet.
It is a scientific betting method that is mathematically proven to lead to higher wealth generation than any other strategy in the long run. It was first described by J. L. Kelly Jr, a researcher at Bell Labs, in 1956.
We use the Kelly criterion when recommending the optimal stake when you’re betting on value bets.
The full Kelly criterion suggests that a bettor should wager a percentage of their bankroll equal to the expected edge divided by the odds, which is often a very aggressive strategy.
In the case of sports betting, the expected edge is often difficult to accurately estimate, and the odds can be very volatile. As a result, using the full Kelly criterion can be very risky and lead to excessive losses, even with a significant edge.
On the other hand, a fractional Kelly criterion (betting only a fraction of the optimal full Kelly bet size) can provide a more conservative approach to bankroll management. By betting a smaller percentage of the optimal bet size, bettors can reduce the risk of large downswings while still maintaining a positive expected value over the long run. Therefore, in sports betting, it is generally recommended to use the fractional Kelly criterion rather than the full Kelly criterion in order to manage risk and maintain a steady growth of your bankroll.
You want to find a comfortable balance between expected profit and money risked. Decreasing the Kelly percentage will decrease your downswings, while only decreasing your profits very slightly.
30% Kelly is the default setting in RebelBetting and hits a good balance between profit and risk.
We recommend 20% when you’re starting out with a small bankroll or just want to decrease the risk of large downswings. You can change this by going to Options. But before you do, please make sure you have understood how your Kelly stake sizing affects variance.
Using a Kelly above 50% is not recommended and will lead to very high variance and steeper draw-downs, with very little increase in profits.
Fractional Kelly stake sizing can also be combined with a max bet size.
The original Kelly criterion is proven to be mathematically optimal when placing a single bet, an infinite number of times. In reality, your goal is to maximize your expected bankroll growth over a finite number of bets, often having many simultaneous bets open.
When you have many open bets, they must be subtracted from your effective bankroll used when calculating the Kelly stake size for the next bet, to maintain the same risk level.
This is especially important if you often bet a majority of your bankroll each day. If you have 50 open bets and bet the same amount on every bet, you are effectively ignoring the Kelly criterion, resulting in high variance.
On the other hand, if you only bet 10% of your bankroll every day, you will not notice much difference. The feature can be turned off in Options, just disable “Adjust for open bets”.
In RebelBetting, we calculate this adjusted bankroll automatically for you. Just keep the checkbox “Adjust for open bets” enabled in Options (it’s enabled by default). This will slowly decrease the recommended stake as the number of open bets increases, helping you manage your risk while optimizing your profits.
Here you can see how your bet size and bankroll will change when adjusting for open bets or not. In the example, we’re having multiple 5% value bets open simultaneously.
Here you bet the full “single bet Kelly” percentage of 1,4% on every bet. You can place 70 bets before your bankroll is fully turned over. You notice there is no decrease in bet size (and risk) even though your effective bankroll decreases.
Here the bet size is decreasing together with the bankroll. Note that maintaining a proper Kelly criterion means lower risk, lower variance and smaller drawdowns, but also slightly less average profit. Your bankroll will never run out, since the strict Kelly criterion will never suggest you bet your entire remaining bankroll.
The Kelly staking strategy is generally considered to be a better option than flat staking when value betting because it allows you to adjust your bet size based on your estimated edge over the market.
This means that if you have a high edge, you can increase the stake; whereas, if you have a low edge, you can reduce the stake. By adapting your stake size in this way, you are able to maximize your profits and minimize your losses over time. Check out the video to learn more:
Matchbook is a bit different when compared to Betfair, Betdaq or Smarkets. Below are som general tips to make it easier using Matchbook.
1. Enter your Matchbook settings and select “Back-Lay” under “Exchange Type” (highlighted in the screenshot below). Now you will see the odds in the same way as in Betfair, instead of Matchbooks “Binary” odds which can be difficult to understand.[singlepic id=32 w=320 h=240 float=none]
2. Let’s say that you wish to lay (bet against) Man City. In the below screenshot you can see that the lay-odds is 3.560 (with a market depth of $2,500). Click on that odds to add the bet into your “Order Pad”.[singlepic id=30 float=none]
3. “b-stake” is your “Backers stake” (the amount you wish to win). “L-stake” is your liability (what you risk to lose).[singlepic id=31 float=none]

Matchbook charges 2-4% commission on bets. Full explanation here
Sometimes Matchbook runs promotions where they set commission to 0% for RebelBetting customers.
If you have registered for this promotion with your Matchbook username, the comission calculation is automatically adjusted.
If you HAVEN’T registered, the ROI calculation is incorrect and you need to calculate yourself manually.
We recommend setting a limit on your maximum stake when placing value bets. The max stake is set in percent relative to your bankroll. Setting a max stake is done to reduce variance. Also check if you need to keep your bankroll updated.
Generally, the fractional Kelly criterion is a better method to get maximum long-term profit. However, you might also want to reduce variance, especially when starting out. This is best done with setting a safe max stake of around 1%. If you’re all about maximizing your profits, and can handle downswings, you might want to increase max stake to 2-3% and let the Kelly criterion work more effectively.
If you do this, you might also consider decreasing your current bankroll (consider it like a virtual or temporary bankroll) until you reach a comfortable max stake sum.
If you often hit your max stake percentage when betting, the Kelly criterion is not working efficiently. Solve this by adjusting your max stake percentage and the bankroll.
Set your max stake, and more settings, under Options.
If you bet on a tennis arbitrage at say, Bwin and Expekt, they both have the Group1 rules. This means that even if a player retires, the arb is valid, and you´ll get paid the expected amount regardless of who retires (or who wins). As long as you place arbs on bookies that have the same rules, you’re home free.
But what happens if you bet on “mixed rules”, where the bookies have different rules)? (For advanced arbitrage bettors only)
Let’s see what happens if you bet $500 with odds 2,05 on Player1 on Bookie1 that has the “Ball Served” rule, and $500 with odds 2,05 on Player 2 on Bookie2 that has the “1 Set Completed” rule.
Though not common, it happens sometimes that tennis players retire. The risk of this happening depends on a lot of factors, such as which the participants are (some players retires more than others) the weather condition, the surface of the event (hard court, clay etc) and so on. For example, in Wimbledon 2009, Michael Llodra had to retire when colliding with the umpire’s chair and a ball girl.
In other words, it could be extremely risky betting on mixed rules, and therefore we do not recommend doing it if you do not fully understand the risks of it.
However, if you do understand the risks and are comfortable with the variance then it can be very profitable in the long run to bet on mixed rules. This is because there are a high number of bets available with mixed rules.
As you might know, regular middles are positive arbs with a middle. For instance, you could bet on an American Football middle:
Tennessee (-7) @ 1.91
Pittsburgh (7.5) @ 2.14
If the middle doesn’t hit, you will make your regular arb percentage (0.92% in the example above). If the middle does hit (Tennessee wins with exactly 7 points), you will win your bet on Pittsburgh and get your bet on Tennessee refunded (making a profit of around 50%).
A negative middle has a negative arb percentage, but the spread can be bigger:
Tennessee (-6) @ 1.91
Pittsburgh (7.5) @ 2.04
This middle has a negative arb percentage (-1.36%), but the middle is 1.5 points. In this example, if Tennessee wins with 6 points, you will make a profit of around 50%. But if they win with 7 points, you will win both your bets (making a profit of nearly 100%).
Think of negative middles as a long term investment
In the second example above, the negative middle was -1.36%. This means that if the middle does not hit, you will lose 1.36% of your total stake. This may sound pretty bad, but think about it for a second; You only need to hit the spread once every 73.5 times in order for the arb to be profitable in the long run.
An additional upside on negative middles
As negative middles aren’t obviously in an arb situation, they usually stick around longer than ordinary middles and arbs. This means more time for you to bet on them, and less risk that the bookmakers will get a whiff of what your up to!

It’s a good idea to keep as much privacy as possible towards the bookmakers when you’re using profitable betting products.
Step one is to hide your IP number and making it harder to uniquely identify (“fingerprint”) you. The first rule is to use a VPN service. VPN stands for “virtual private network” and means that all your internet traffic goes through a “tunnel” that secures, encrypts and anonymizes you and your location.
Bonus benefits:
We have done a thorough comparison of all VPN services and can strongly recommend NordVPN. For a thorough explanation of why, read our review of NordVPN and get a 77% discount!
We have gathered most of our tips for staying anonymous here.
Clear all cookies between sessions. Bookmakers can track you through third-party sites like advertising networks and social media.
Do this: Make a special shortcut to start a web browser in private / incognito mode.
Hide your social media identity. Never use your social media email when registering with bookmakers. They can and will profile you and your network. If you follow a known sports trader on Twitter, that might be enough to label you as unwanted.
Do this: If you’re surfing using RebelBetting, you’re safe. We use a completely separate web browser, with cookies and cache files that are never shared with your regular web browser. If using a web browser, use the clear cookies method above.
If you have multiple accounts, you need to take extra precautions. Don’t use the bookmakers’ mobile app (they have multiple ways of detecting you, including GPS location). Be even more careful with clearing cookies, preferably use another Windows (a virtual PC is a simple method) or at the minimum another web browser. Always use a VPN and change IP between logins. Use different deposit and withdrawal methods.
It’s very easy to detect if you’re using the same web browser on the same computer for example. Bookmakers can even detect the fonts you have installed in your OS. Use this fingerprint checker.
If you use a VPN and these tips, you will be as safe as is practically possible. If you want even more protection, you can set up one or several virtual machines with a clean installation of the most common Windows OS and web browser.
If you haven’t already, set up a VPN now!
The reliability of a bet is calculated with several different variables. Among these variables are for example:
The reliability of a sure bet is meant to be seen as a guideline for you when you bet, but please be thorough and always check the validity of the arb yourself.
Retention rate is an indication of how much of your bonus you will retain after placing a bet.
A bet with 100% retention rate means that if you bet your entire bonus on that bet your entire bonus will be intact. That is, if you have a €50 bonus and bet the whole amount on one outcome, you will still have €50. A bet with 95% retention rate and a €50 bonus means that if you bet the whole amount you will have €47.50 left of your bonus (95% of 50).
This calculation applies to free bets where the whole bonus amount can be wagered and cleared in a single bet. A bonus with rollover requirements is calculated a bit different. (Rollover means you need to bet the money a fixed number of times before the bonus can be withdrawn). A bonus of €50 with a rollover requirement of 5 times means that a total amount of €250 has to be wagered. When wagering €250 with a retention rate of 95% you will have €237.50 left (95% of 250). This means that you have lost €12.50 when clearing your bonus. Since the bonus was €50 you have retained €37.50 (50-12.50).
Another way of calculating this is as follows. You loose 5% (100 – 95) each time you bet your €50 bonus, which calculates to €2.50. Loosing €2.50 for 5 consecutive times equals €12.5.
Now, imagine that you wager your bonuses on bet with retention rates higher than 100%. This means that you will keep your entire bonus, and possibly also earn a bit more on each bet. Select bets with as high retention rate as possible since it will let you keep as much of your bonus as possible when meeting the rollover requirements.
MatchedBetting often displays these positive retention rates because we have access to arbitrage odds.
If you get the Reversed Participants notice in the bet card, it’s just to let you know that the order of the participants might not be the same on both bookmakers.
For instance, on Pinnacle it might be:
Korea – Spain
And on Betfair it might be:
Spain – Korea
This could happen for instance if a match is played at neutral ground and no team is the home team. When the participants are reversed, you must (as you always should be doing) make sure that you back the correct players on the correct sportsbook, as it might be confusing when the participants do not have the same order at both bookmakers.
Trying to go after the highest arbs all the time is usually not a good strategy in the long run. The reason is that high arbs have a higher risk of including odds that are bookmaker mistakes, or so called palpable errors. Sometimes, the bookmaker will even void your bet. While they do pay you back your stake, it can still cost you if the voided bet was the winning one. Betting on smaller arbs more frequently will result in a lesser risk for palps and you might also be limited less quickly.
Also, as a guideline, double-check that the arb you bet on is correct and that there hasn’t been a market mix up. Be extra cautious when it comes to arbs over 10%. Also, check that the teams you are betting on are playing in the same tournament before placing the arb.
ROI and Yield are a couple of the most important metrics in sports betting. In this FAQ article, you will get to know what they mean and why they are important if you want to become a profitable sports bettor.
ROI in sports betting is like the scoreboard of your betting strategy, showing how much your bankroll increased during a specific period. It’s the measure of net profit you’ve earned, calculated against your starting funds, whether you’ve been betting for a month, a year, or since you first placed a bet. A higher ROI indicates not just luck but smart betting decisions, like finding value bets with better odds.
It’s a clear signal of your betting prowess and how well you’ve navigated the ups and downs of various sports and betting markets to make your money work harder for you.
ROI will typically increase over time, whereas Yield will stay roughly the same.
Calculating your ROI is pretty straight forward. Just divide your Total profit with your Starting bankroll.
Example: You have made a profit of €900 and started with a €3,000 bankroll. To calculate your ROI: 900 / 3,000 = 0.30 = 30%. This means that your ROI would be 30% in this case.
Note: In RebelBetting, we show the ROI for each individual value- or sure bet. In this context, ROI shows how much you will profit by betting on one value bet or sure bet, compared to the money invested (the total stake).
Understanding ROI, or Return On Investment, is crucial for every bettor aiming to make informed decisions and maximize profits. It’s not just about how much money you’ve made, but how effectively you’ve managed your initial bankroll and capitalized on opportunities. A positive ROI signifies that your betting strategy is yielding more money than you’ve invested, showing smart money management and strategic betting choices.
For many sports bettors, calculating ROI is a way to measure the success of their betting strategies over time, whether they’re focusing on horse racing or football. It’s a reflection of your sports knowledge and ability to select bets with higher probabilities of success, navigating through different odds and ensuring your total capital invested grows consistently.
Yield in sports betting refers to the efficiency of your betting strategy, measuring how much profit you generate per bet or per unit of investment (the stake). Unlike ROI, Yield provides a clear indication of your betting efficiency regardless of the size of your bankroll. It’s a valuable metric in the financial world of sports betting, allowing for comparison with other betting strategies or bettors.
Since Yield focuses on the profitability per bet rather than overall capital growth, it remains consistent over time, reflecting the quality of your betting decisions and the ability to consistently identify value bets with higher probabilities of success. This makes Yield a useful tool for assessing the effectiveness of your betting approach across various sports and betting markets.
Calculating Yield in sports betting is also very easy. You just divide your Total profit with your Total stake (or turnover).
Example: As in the previous example, your Total profit is €900. To achieve this profit, you have staked a total of €20,000. To calculate your Yield: 900 / 20,000 = 0.045 = 4.5%. This means that your ROI would be 4.5% in this case.
Yield serves as a critical metric for bettors because it directly reflects the efficiency and effectiveness of each betting decision. It provides a clear measure of how well a bettor can turn their bets into profit on a per-bet basis, regardless of the size of their bankroll. This allows bettors to assess the quality of their betting selections and strategies more accurately.
A consistently high Yield indicates a bettor’s ability to consistently find value bets with higher probabilities of success, which is crucial for long-term profitability in sports betting. By focusing on improving Yield, bettors can refine their strategies, mitigate risks, and optimize their overall betting performance

“Your model works great and it obviously beats the bookies”
If you want to succeed in sports betting it’s important to have a efficient betting strategy, and to make sure that your strategy stays efficient you will have to monitor it closely. This is where ROI and Yield comes in as this will help you to get a quick overview over your betting journey. But to stay efficient you will also need to conduct effective bankroll management, track your bets and take advantage off proven betting strategies.
Monitoring Yield and ROI in sports betting is essential for bettors aiming to maximize their profitability and refine their strategies. While ROI tracks the overall growth of your bankroll over time, Yield provides insights into the efficiency of each individual bet. A positive ROI indicates successful long-term profitability, while a high Yield suggests effective decision-making on each bet placed.
By regularly calculating and comparing these metrics, bettors can identify strengths and weaknesses in their betting strategies, adjust their approach to capitalize on higher-yielding opportunities, and maintain sustainable profitability in the dynamic world of sports betting.
Another important part of an profitable and sustainable betting strategy is a responsible and effective bankroll management. It ensures bettors can navigate winning and losing streaks without risking their entire stake. By setting limits, assessing risk, and allocating funds wisely, bettors can maintain control, make informed bets, and increase their chances of long-term success in sports betting.
Here are some things to consider:
Tracking your betting journey isn’t just about keeping score—it’s a vital tool for improving your betting strategy and staying ahead in the game. By logging and reviewing your bets, you gain valuable insights into what works and what doesn’t. RebelBetting’s BetTracker makes this process seamless, offering a user-friendly platform to record every bet, analyze trends, and pinpoint your most profitable strategies.

These strategies aren’t about luck; they’re about disciplined analysis and strategic execution. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced bettor, incorporating value and sure betting into your approach can pave the way for sustainable profitability and long-term success in sports betting.
The SameBookie notice is displayed when selecting an arb where two or more outcomes in an arb is on the same bookmaker.
It is not recommended to place two bets on the same match on the same bookmaker, as this might flag you as a sharp bettor or arber in the bookmakers point of view. Avoid this and your bookmaker accounts will probably last longer!
Please note that this is not a problem with non-limiting bookmakers, like Pinnacle, Betfair, Betdaq and Smarkets. You can bet 2/3 outcomes at these bookmakers.
You can select to use a different bookmaker domain if the standard bookmaker domain is not available from your country. For instance from bet365.com to bet365.com.au. This can be changed under Options/Bookmaker.
If you select another bookmaker domain, please note the following
Important: Do not change the bookmaker domain unless you absolutely have to!
It is realistic to make around 10-20% profit of your total bankroll every month – but you can of course make even more. One key factor is the amount of time you spend arbitrage betting.

Some bookmakers may charge a tax on your bets, depending on where you reside or where the bookmaker has its license. We’ve developed a solution for this tax where you can specify which taxation method (if any) is applied to any bookmaker account.
The sure bet / value percentage will then be adjusted accordingly, fully automatic of course. You can find this setting under Options/Bookmaker. You can select each bookmaker in the drop-down menu and specify tax settings individually.
There are different ways in how bookmakers handle taxation. Some take a percent of the Profit or a percent of the Stake. Other bookmakers chose to completely ignore it (doesn’t charge any tax on your bets).
Below you can find the taxation percentage for customers from Germany for some bookmakers. Please let us know if any of the sportsbooks below have changed their tax percentages.
The bookies have different retirement rules on certain sports, most notably in tennis.

Is it possible to do value betting on sharp bookmakers? Yes. But when it comes to betting against the sharp bookmakers and exchanges, it’s a different ball game.
Before we dive deeper into this, first you might want to read about the difference between soft and sharp bookmakers to understand the difference between these two types of bookmakers.
A soft bookmaker usually updates their odds more slowly and offers more enticing odds to attract casual bettors. As a result, their odds often don’t accurately reflect the true probability of an event. When a sharp bookmaker adjusts its odds, it can take minutes or even hours for a soft bookmaker to follow suit.
For example, if a key player gets injured before a game, a sharp bookmaker might change their odds almost instantly, while a soft bookmaker might take much longer to make the same adjustment.
Certain bookmakers adjust their odds quickly, reflecting the true probability of an event. They use advanced mathematical models and a blend of automated software and expert traders to constantly update the odds based on market activity and real-time events.
Known as sharp bookmakers, many Asian bookmakers fall into this category.
Making a profit value betting on sharp bookmakers and exchanges is more difficult than using only soft bookmakers. If you’re a beginner, you might consider betting on soft bookmakers, to begin with. Or only bet on the sharp bookmakers with proven profitable results.
The reason for this is that a sharp bookmaker generally has odds that are closer to the true probability, compared to a soft bookmaker. This means you have to consider more parameters than just the value percentage:
In short: It’s more difficult to value bet on sharps. If you’re a beginner you might want to start with soft bookmakers until you’re more experienced. The upside is: there still exist a lot of value on sharps, and you can bet large amounts.
Let’s say you have decided whether you prefer a soft or a sharp bookmaker for your value betting. This is a significant step in finding the best bookmakers that suit your needs and preferences. However, there are several other key factors to consider!
Conducting a thorough background check is crucial in finding the best bookmakers. Ensuring that a bookmaker is reputable and well-trusted is one of the most important steps in this process. Look for reviews from other users, verify their licensing and regulatory information.
Additionally, consider their history in the industry and whether they have a track record of fair play and reliable payouts. Taking these steps will help you select a bookmaker that is both trustworthy and suited to your betting needs.
User-friendliness is another key factor to consider when searching for the best bookmakers. This encompasses both the interface and customer support. A bookmaker should have a clean, intuitive, and easy-to-navigate website or app, allowing you to place bets and find information without hassle.
Additionally, the quality of customer support is crucial; it should be responsive, helpful, and available through multiple channels such as live chat, email, and phone. Ensuring that the bookmaker offers a user-friendly experience will make your betting activities smoother and more enjoyable.
This might seem obvious, but it’s often overlooked: make sure that the bookmakers you are considering support the betting markets and sports you want to bet on. It’s essential to verify that they offer a wide range of options in your preferred sports, leagues, and events.
Additionally, check if they provide competitive odds and various betting types that suit your strategy. Ensuring that the bookmaker covers your specific interests will enhance your betting experience and allow you to take full advantage of their offerings.
Finally, if you are using RebelBetting to find the best possible opportunities quickly and easily, it’s crucial to ensure that the bookmakers you choose are supported by the platform. Fortunately, this is rarely an issue since RebelBetting supports around 100 bookmakers, including both soft and sharp options.
By confirming that your preferred bookmakers are compatible with RebelBetting, you can take full advantage of its features and maximize your betting potential.

“I have almost quadrupled my initial deposit”
I have placed about 4500 value bets, while I have almost quadrupled my initial deposit by now, in less than 2 months.
“Your model works great and it obviously beats the bookies”
Monthly ROI (investment growth) for value betting is over 30% and there is a proven yield of over 3% (profit per bet). Below are two tools which show you how much you can expect to profit.
If you stick to the strategy and trust the underlying math, you will make money in the long run. This is statistically proven. You will not get a profit on every bet. But as you will be placing bets that has a higher probability to win then the odds imply, you will over time make money value betting.
Play around with the value betting profit calculator and see for yourself.
Calculations are based on actual statistics from our users since 2019.
The RebelBetting Value Betting Profit Calculator is straightforward and self-explanatory. It is designed to be easy to use as a valuable tool on your betting journey. However, while we’re at it, let’s take a moment to dive a little deeper and explain all the features of the calculator.
The initial investment, or your bankroll is the cornerstone of your strategy when it comes to value betting. Think of it as your treasure chest, carefully guarded and strategically used to seize opportunities when the odds are in your favour.
It’s not just about how much you start with, but how wisely you allocate and protect it, striking a balance between boldness and strategic moves to maximize your long-term gains. With a solid bankroll strategy, you’re not just placing bets—you’re investing in a calculated journey toward consistent profits.
Here are some crucial parts of sustainable bankroll management:
How much time you allocate to your successful betting journey is entirely up to you. However, with the RebelBetting platform, it doesn’t need to be a time-consuming task, which makes it possible to place even more value bets in a shorter period of time.
It’s a wise idea to set up a plan for how you will reach your value betting goals. Just as you should pre-determine a plan for your bankroll, you should also set realistic goals for how many bets you think you should be able to place per day and month. This is all part of forming your individual betting strategy. If you have a clear goal and a plan on how to reach it, it will be much easier to stick to the plan and not get swayed.
The value betting profit calculator not only predicts potential profits per month but can also optimize your time efficiently. Assume that each bet takes about 30 seconds to place, the calculator estimates your hourly profit based on strategic betting decisions.
RebelBetting not only simplifies the process but also maximizes your earnings by allowing you to place more bets in less time, and maximize your hourly profit. By leveraging such technology, you’re not just betting on sports outcomes—you’re investing in a streamlined approach to achieving financial goals through informed decision-making. It’s a game-changer for those serious about turning their sports betting into tangible profits with minimal time investment.
ROI (Return on Investment) in sports betting gives you a clear picture of how profitable your bets are over time. One really interesting part about our value betting profit calculator is that it can estimate your monthly ROI.
This tool not only predicts potential earnings but also shows you how well your investments can grow per month. It’s like having a financial advisor for your sports betting, helping you make smarter decisions and maximize your profits in the long run. Whether you’re a seasoned bettor with years of experience or just starting out in the world of sports betting, tracking your ROI with this calculator adds excitement and confidence to your journey, revealing the true impact of your choices in real time.
One of the main features of our value betting profit calculator is its ability to calculate your total profit per month, based on historical data. Assuming a historic average yield of 3% and a stake size of 1% (1 unit), this tool provides a clear projection of potential earnings over a monthly period.
this tool provides a clear projection of potential earnings over a monthly period. It not only forecasts your financial gains but also empowers you to strategize effectively. By leveraging this feature, you gain insights into how your betting decisions can translate into tangible profits, making your journey in sports betting both informed and rewarding. Whether you’re new to value betting or refining your strategy, this calculator is your ally in achieving financial goals through calculated risk-taking.
The value betting profit simulator is another, more advanced tool that can simulate your expected profits depending on your strategy and risk tolerance.
The chart shows both expected profits, and can simulate a realistic profit curve with variance.
Detailed statistics are also available, showing expected profit, ROI, expected drawdown, hitrate, p-value and much more! Don’t forget to click “Help” or “Explain these numbers” (at the bottom) for detailed instructions.
Sound too good to be true? That’s actually the average result of our members. Below you can see updated results from our users.
Betting with a positive expected value (+EV) means that the likelihood of winning is greater than the odds presented by the sportsbook. The RebelBetting value bet finder identifies bets where you hold a mathematical edge compared to the bookmaker.

A potentially very profitable situation can occur in sure betting and they are called middles. A middle is an arbitrage bet where if a match ends with a certain result, you can either win one bet and get the other bet refunded, or win both your bets.
Read all about middles in the Ultimate guide to sure betting.
As both value betting and sure betting are web based services, it doesn’t matter what language you use at the sportsbooks!
You should strive to have every account (bookie accounts, e-wallets etc.) in the same currency. USD, EUR or GBP are the most supported currencies out there.
If you have every account in the same currency, you’ll minimize the unnecessary costs of currency exchanges. You will also avoid the hassle of having to calculate a bet size in a different currency.
We do offer Multi Currency Support though!
Stake kidnapping is a term used in RebelBetting to identify bookmakers which practice, what we consider, near fraudulent behavior with customers bets.
A proper and respectable bookmaker will honor the bets taken and pay out potential winnings, with exception of the palpable error rule. A confirmed bet can’t be cancelled by you as a customer and neither by them.
However, some bookmakers feel that they have the right to accept your bet and at a later time decide whether to accept parts or all of your stake. These bookmakers ‘kidnap’ your stake while they decide what to do with it. You as a customer have no option to cancel the bet while it is up for review. A more respectable way of handling this, would be like the bookmaker Betsson which gives the user an option whether to send all or parts of the stake for review or to edit the bet.
Bookmakers identified with this behavior are:
Betsafe
Betsafe have sometimes chosen to reject parts or all of the stake long after a bet was initially confirmed. This might be done without any notification which would indicate that the bet is up for review. The stake might simply be kidnapped and users may find themselves in an unwanted situation. We have however also gotten reports from our customers that hasn’t seen this behavior with Betsafe.
Expekt
Expekt used to provide the user with a Betsson-like option where the choice was given to cancel the bet, edit the bet or send parts or all of the stake for review. This would let the user back out of an unwanted situation. Now, you will be notified only AFTER you press confirm, whether your stake is kidnapped or not.
If you receive a deposit bonus or sign up bonus for €25, and you place the full amount on the same match as above, you will win €37.50. You will in other words keep the full amount, as the €25 bonus is credited to you.
Bonuses usually have roll over requirements, so you might have roll over (bet) x times the bonus before you can make a withdrawal. But the bonus amount of €25 is yours.
These bonuses can only be claimed when registering for the first time, if not specifically written in the terms. There are also reload bonuses, which can also be claimed by existing customers. These bonuses usually appear around big events such as the World Cup, a tennis Grand Slam etc.
See other bookmaker bonuses.
A free bet is for example if you get €25 to bet with at a bookmaker. If you place the full amount on a match with odds 1.5, you will win €37.50. But the bookmaker will only pay out your winnings (€12.50). This is a SNR (stake not returned) free bet. It’s also commonly called a “matched bet”, where the bookmaker doubles your bet amount up to a specific limit.
Since you will only get to keep the winnings in a free bet, you want to bet on a high odds that maximizes your potential profits. To guarantee a profit, you cover the other side using matched betting or arbitrage betting.
There are also SR (stake returned) free bets, but they are rare. Free bets are usually (but not always) only given to new customers. Also, please make sure to check the bookmakers free bet rules, as they might differ from one another.

See other bookmaker bonuses, as well as how you can take advantage of sportsbook bonuses to increase your bankroll.
Lay betting is an important part of sure betting.
The difference between a regular bet (also known as a back bet) and a lay bet, is that on a back bet you bet on a team/player to win. If you were to place a lay bet on the same team/player, you bet on that team/player NOT to win. You can place a lay bet on exchanges such as Betfair, Matchbook and Smarkets.
Read more about lay betting and see lay bet examples in the Ultimate guide to sure betting.
A bookmaker can cancel (void) your bet, claiming it was a palpable error (or a “palp”). This can occur when a bookmaker has made what they call “an obvious mistake”, such as reversed the odds of a match or some other kind of accidental error made while quoting the odds.
Our servers filter away a lot of obvious palps, and automatically hide them for you, but in rare occasions they might get past our filtering systems. If the sure- or value bet is particularly high, this might be an indication that the risk of palpable error is higher than normal.

The definition of sportsbook bonuses:
| Bonus Type | Stake returned | Only for new users | Also known as |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free bet SNR | No | Usually | Matched Bet |
| Free bet SR | Yes | Usually | |
| Signup bonus | Yes | Yes | |
| Deposit bonus | Yes | Usually | |
| Reload bonus | Yes | No |
The section below covers the most common bet types. But first, we’ll have to address the fact that bookmakers can be somewhat inconsistent in naming bet types.
It’s quite frustrating when you’re about to place a bet, to not even find the correct bet type on the bookmaker website. But the bet type might just be presented with a different name than what you are looking for. This is because some bet types are referred to differently in different parts of the world. For a sports betting beginner, this can be rather confusing. But with a little practice, you’ll soon learn how each bookmaker presents their odds.
Read more about the different bet types in the Ultimate Guide to Sure Betting.
Also known as straight bet, DNB or 2-way bet.
One of the most popular bet types and is offered in various sports. This market simply means betting on a specific team to win a game, match or other event.
The term “win” is used almost everywhere, while “moneyline” is mostly used in the United States and a few other regions. The term “straight bet” can also be used for this type of wager.
Draw No Bet
In the case of three possible outcomes, as in soccer, a draw results in your stake being returned. Hence the name “draw no bet”. Additionally, an Asian handicap of 0 (AH0) is the same as Draw No Bet, as it also eliminates the option of a draw.
1X2 is one of the most popular bet types in soccer. A 1X2 bet involves a match of two teams with three possible outcomes: Home (1), Draw (X) and Away (2). This market may also be known as Full Time Result, Match Betting, or Three-Way Bet.
Also known as point spread, puckline (hockey), game handicap (tennis) or map handicap (e-sports)
A handicap in betting means that the bookmaker has given a virtual advantage to one of the competitors. The main reason for handicapping is that the draw result is eliminated. (The two odds also move closer to 2.00, which can help even out your variance).
With an Asian Handicap, a draw is known as a push and you are refunded part or all of your original wager.
AH0 = DNB (Draw no bet)
Additionally, you can use the level Asian handicap betting market which displays the handicap as 0. If the game ended in a draw, your stake would be returned – effectively achieving the same outcome as a Draw No Bet.
Half and quarter Asian Handicaps
Half and quarter Asian handicap is also known as a split handicap because the initial bet is split between two handicaps.
Also known as 3-way handicap or 1X2 handicap
European handicap is basically a 3-way bet, similar to a 1X2 match result bet. In matches where there is a difference in strength between the two teams, a handicap is placed on the underdog, to even out the match.
The difference with Asian handicap is that the EH is always an integer number. Instead of placing an Asian Handicap of -1,5 goals or -1,75 goals, the European handicap is always of a -1, -2, -3 etc. kind.
If you bet on a European Handicap, a draw is possible, but a European Handicap draw can only be achieved if the favourite team matches the goal handicap.
Also known as Totals, Goal line
Over/under bets are typically placed on soccer and basketball games but are common in other sports as well. You bet on the total number of goals/points that will be scored in the match, no matter which team. In tennis, you can bet on the total number of sets or games that will be played before the match is over.
Who wins the match is irrelevant. Bookmakers will offer odds and set a line at what they estimate the total goals or points in the match are likely to be.
Example: In a football match, if you bet on over 3 goals, you lose your bet if only one or two goals are scored and win if more than three goals are scored. If exactly three goals are scored, your stake will be refunded.
Half point over/under example: If you bet on “under 2.5 goals” and there are one or two goals in the game, you win. If there are three or more, you lose the bet. The middle option is effectively removed in a half-point over/under.
A double chance bet allows you to cover two of the three possible outcomes in a match with one bet. This type of bet is often offered for soccer games. When betting on a Double chance bet there are three possible options to bet on:
Home or Draw (1X) – Your bet will win if the home team wins or the match ends in a draw. It will lose if the away team wins.
Draw or Away (X2) – Your bet wins if the away team wins or it’s a draw. You lose if the home team wins.
Home or Away(12) – With this bet, you win if there’s a winner regardless of whether it’s the home or away team. Your bet will lose if the match ends in a draw.
Lay betting is a bet type offered by betting exchanges and is a kind of bet where you bet on something not to happen. With a regular bet (also known as a back bet) you bet on something to happen.
Lay betting basically gives bettors an option to play the role of the bookmaker, offering odds to sell a bet instead of to back a bet. Learn more about Lay betting.
If you’re experiencing a lack of value betting opportunities in RebelBetting, there are several factors to consider and steps you can take:
Review your filter configurations to ensure you’re not inadvertently hiding potential bets. Pay close attention to:
Ensure you’ve enabled all the bookmakers you have access to. More bookmakers generally lead to more opportunities.
Consider enabling all sports and markets to maximize potential value bets. Some less popular sports or niche markets may offer overlooked opportunities.
If you have this option enabled, try disabling it to see if it reveals more value bets, especially for lower-profile events.
Make sure your computer’s time zone settings match the region where you’re betting to avoid missing time-sensitive opportunities.
Value bets tend to be more plentiful during busy betting periods, such as weekends for major sports.
If you’ve tried these steps and are still not seeing results, contact RebelBetting support. Provide screenshots of your filter and options settings for a thorough review of your account.
Remember, the availability of value bets can fluctuate based on market conditions and bookmaker offerings. Patience and consistent monitoring are key to success in value betting.
When placing an arb on baseball, there are a few things you must check before placing the arb.
By placing a bet on the “action”, you are tied into the line no matter what — even if there are any late pitching changes.
If you choose to bet the “listed” pitcher, your bet will only be valid if the pitchers listed at the time you placed your wager take the mound.
Bookmaker might have different starting pitchers listed on the same baseball match. If the listed starting pitchers do not start, the bet will be void. That is why you must check that the listed starting pitchers are the same on both bookmakers.
Sometimes, the same two baseball teams can meet each other twice on the same day. And because bookmakers use different time zones and daylight savings, our servers might match two different games (on the same day) together. That is why you must double check that you are placing your bets on the same match.
Before placing arbs on Ice Hockey, you need to know the following:
Overtime rules for hockey often differ between bookmakers, and sometimes between different leagues or markets. Please verify that the overtime rules are the same on all bookmakers before placing your bets. Failure to do so might lead to unexpected losses if the game ends in a draw after regular time.
If you’re encountering a suggested stake of zero in RebelBetting, there are a few potential causes:
You can find and adjust these settings in the Options page. If you continue to experience issues after making these adjustments, please contact our support team for further assistance.
Team names
Bookmakers often have different names on the same team. As an example in Ice Hockey, the Russian U20 youth team could be named:
– The name Russia Youth could refer to their U18 team, U20 team, or even their U18 Women’s team.
– The name Russia could refer to all Russia’s national teams.
As you can see, the best is to name the team Russia U20, as this could only be the U20 team. But unfortunately, bookmakers can name the team as they see fit.
Event names
The same applies to the bookmakers names on events/cups. For instance, the international Ice Hockey tournament Karjala Cup could be named:
– The name Internationals could refer to Karjala Cup, World Cup, International Friendlies, International Youth matches etcetera etcetera. Basically, all international events could be named Internationals. The same applies to the event Friendlies (yes, some bookmakers have the event name Friendlies for all kinds of matches, including international cups).
As you can see, the best is to name the event above Karjala Cup, as this could only refer to Karjala Cup. Unfortunately, bookmakers can name the events as they see fit as well.
Because of the bookmakers inconsistent naming of teams and events, situations could occur to be aware of.
As an example, these two very different tournaments are played at the same day:
| Bookmaker 1 | Bookmaker 2 | |
| Actual Event | Karjala Cup | U20 4 Nations Tournament |
| Actual Teams | Russia – Finland | Russia U20 – Finland U20 |
| Bookmaker Event Name | Internationals | International Youth |
| Bookmaker Team Names | Russia – Finland | Russia – Finland |
Note that the above team names are the same on both bookmakers. In reality, the Russian and Finnish senior teams are playing against eachother (in Karjala Cup) at the same time that the Russian and Finnish U20 teams (in a youth tournament). This could lead to a false arb between Russia (Bookmaker 1) and Finland U20 (Bookmaker 2).
Generally, the closer to an event it is, the more bets appear. This is due to the fact that sportsbooks tend to adjust their odds more frequently closer to a match (depending on lots of factors such as the weather, injuries, team/player form, rumors and so on). Some bookmakers also adjust odds in order to attract more customers closer to an event (to even out their risk, they always want about the same monetary risk on all outcomes).
The number of bets available therefore depends on how many, and which sportsbook accounts you have available, what the sport is in the sure bet, season (what events are running), day of the week and even time of the day. Most often there are more bets at the end of the week (Thursday-Sunday) because more matches are played at the weekend.
If you place 1000 value bets with our ValueBetting service, all with a 4.4% value — your closing line value will on average be 2.6%.
So why is it that average CLV and yield is always lower than your average value at bet placement in the long run?
The major reason is that the sharp bookmaker margin typically shrinks over time. As we get closer to match start, the sharp bookmakers get more confident in their odds, thus lowering the margin. As margins shrink, sharp odds will increase slightly, bringing down the value of the bet.
As explained by Joseph Buchdahl: “where net market movement is zero between opening and closure, a closing price will still be a little longer [higher, less likely] than it’s opening one”.
So, while it’s frustrating to see the value decreasing, it’s a completely expected movement in the betting market. And an average yield of 2.6% per bet will still give you a pretty amazing profit over time.
Statistics from ValueBetting (5 million bets placed)
You should always bet on the highest value while still turning over your bankroll as often as possible. But knowing your yield will end up around 40% lower than the average value, try to set your minimum value filter accordingly. For example, if you want a 2.6% average yield, your average value at bet placement should be 4.4%.
