What is Sports Arbitrage?
Sports Arbitrage involves gambling on betting markets; in this case those relating to sport. It is promoted on the basis bookmakers will either have a different opinion on event outcomes, or make errors. It is theorized that by placing one bet, for each outcome with different betting companies, it is possible for the bettor to make a profit.

Sports Arbitrage Schemes are often promoted through glossy brochures, professional looking websites and often require high administration fees from participants.
