When it comes to home-based business there is nothing as sure to succeed and to give you a profit as a little known business opportunity often called arbitrage trading. Although this form of business is the safest and easiest way to guarantee yourself a profit it is often overlooked, or even misunderstood, because it involves placing bets with online bookmakers. However, it is in no way gambling. Let me explain. Sports arbitrage betting is referred to by many of its users as arbitrage trading in order to distinguish it from gambling. Arbitrage sports betting is not gambling! You never risk a penny!

Arbitrage opportunities exist when two or more online betting sites disagree about the odds and potential winner of a sporting event. This occurs because betting sites must always ensure they make a profit – the bookmaker always wins.

To ensure they always make a profit online betting sites and bookmakers chance the odds on sporting teams to ensure they will always be in the black. When you place a bet you are therefore essentially betting against other players not against the bookmaker – he always makes a profit.

Therefore if one online betting site experiences a heavy amount of bets placed on one side of a sporting event there odds will change for that side and they will make the other side a more attractive bet by giving better odds – so that they always make a profit.

However, another betting site may be experiencing the opposite effect and therefore they will have the opposite odds. When this occurs it gives the astute gambler an opportunity to place a bet on both sides to win and when the odds are sufficiently in his favour he can GUARANTEE a profit no matter which bet wins!
