Arbitrage & Hedging
Make the most of your action.
Graduate-Level Edges for the Sharp Set
1. Arbitrage
Find opposing prices that guarantee profit (e.g., +110 vs -105). Plug into an arb calculator, split stakes, lock risk-free cents.
2. Middle Betting
Bet early on Team A -3.5, wait for public steam, come back on Team B +7. If the final margin lands 4–7, you win both sides. Requires line-move intuition and multiple outs.
3. Live-Bet Hedging
Oppose a pre-game position mid-game to cut variance—great when bankroll volatility matters.
4. Kelly-Fraction Scaling
Using ½ Kelly tempers bankroll swings while still maximizing geometric growth.
Risk Flags
- Arbs & middles spotlight you to trading desks—spread volume across books.
- Small-market arbs (table tennis at 3 a.m.) fast-track limits; stick to high-liquidity leagues.
