Arbitrage betting in Canada: how sure bets work

Arbitrage betting (arbing, sure betting) means backing every outcome of a market at different sportsbooks whose prices disagree enough that the total implied probability is under 100%. Split the stake correctly and the ticket profits whichever side wins.

In this guide

• Why books disagree on prices, and where the biggest gaps appear (player props, alt lines, new markets).
• How to split stakes for an equal or a biased return, and how to round them so you don't look like a bot.
• Which Canadian books limit winning accounts and which don't, and how to make an account last.
• The ways an arb goes wrong: a line moves before the second leg, a void rule differs between books, a "same" market that isn't (different overtime rules, different player-props settlement).
