The Value of a Search Function

When placing a sure bet or arbing, time is of the essence. Imagine you found a juicy 10% arb opportunity on a draw no bet line between Man City and Liverpool. You know there’s a lot of action on this game. So, betting lines can move pretty quickly. Speed is imperative to place your sure bet. A popular contest is easy to find at the bookie. But, what happens if the juicy 10% sure bet is in a little lesser known sport or a sport with a lot of games like ncaa college basketball?

Take ncaa college basketball as an example. On any given Saturday in the winter, there could be a 100 or more teams playing. If a sure bet pops up, speed is still very important to place your sure bet. The faster you can find the match. The quicker you can place your sure bet. But, with so many games finding the match quickly could be a challenge. As an added bonus, ncaa basketball is a popular sport to bet on. So, your arbing on ncaa basketball usually doesn’t lead to a punter getting gubbed.

How to Place a Sure Bet Quickly?

Some arbs at BetSlayer have an add to betslip feature which will take you directly to the match. If that’s not available, a search function at the bookies is a very powerful tool. A search function allows you to find the surebet quickly and efficiently. Many good arbers will copy the team name presented in the sure bet. This allows for a quick paste within the search function at the bookie. The faster you go the better chance for a successful sure bet.

Here’s an example of an ncaa basketball sure bet.

Syracuse U. Win 1.4 at William Hill
Lehigh U. Win 5.0 at UniBet

Different Betting Sites


Both UniBet and William Hill (Caesar’s for the U.S. arbers) have good search functions. After seeing this sure bet on BetSlayer, you quickly copy the word Lehigh and go to UniBet. Do a paste and you will be presented with the event. Now, do the same at William Hill. You can still use Lehigh as your search. It will bring you to the right event at William Hill. Now, make sure the odds at the bookies are the same as on the sure bet in BetSlayer and place your bet. As a reminder, BetSlayer shows you how much to place at each bookie based on the overall amount you want to wager.

For the Sure bet above and a £100 wager. You would place.

Syracuse £78 returns £109.2
Lehigh £22 returns £110

This sure bet would produce a 10% return if Lehigh wins and 9.2% if Syracuse wins. We always recommend using whole £ when making your sure bet.

There are other ways to placing sure bets quickly, like receiving a WhatsApp notification when new sure bets are identified. See the WhatsApp blog article to learn more or check out the Exclusive plan at BetSlayer.
