Arbing on secondary markets – is this the future of sports arbitrage?
Sports arbitrage activity reached its plateau long ago due to a number of reasons including great competition, increased limitation and general bookmaker’s hunting attitude towards arbers. Countermeasure to this is certainly live-arbitrage betting. This article explores if arbing secondary markets constitutes as one another current sports-arbitrage real and profitable option.
Secondary markets – what is that?
Whereas primary markets are these most popular betting markets and types (over/under, asian handicap markets, 1X2 markets) we might define secondary markets as:
- Corners markets (total corners, corners handicaps, 1X2 in corners, corners market for 1st half, first corner markets)
- Secondary over/under lines (e.g over/under 0.5, 1.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, etc)
- Secondary handicap markets (e.g handicap -2.5, -3.5 etc)
- Bookings markets (yellow/red cards count, handicap in cards)
- Penalty taken markets
- First/last goalscorer
- Team to advance
- Correct score markets
And alike.
Secondary markets – why this is more profitable compared to primary markets when arbing?
Most importantly secondary markets are not covered by most of the alert services (if not by all of them). The reason for that is simple – these markets are not commonly covered by most of bookmakers and they are sort of unique (offered only for games during major competitions), thus again alert services do not include them in the coverage. Theoretically it would be possible but would require too much work. Lack of this coverage means for you that the lines hold for longer time – one needs to spot the line and exploit it manually. In practice not many people do that.
