An in-running game is one where the game has already started. It is possible to find arbitrage opportunities with these but these tend to be far more dynamic and it is advisable to use in-running only after the basic form of arbitrage has been mastered.
One of the reasons that in-running arbitrage opportunities are so plentiful is that bookmakers do not have time to consider all things when quoting odds - you can quite literally feast on arbitrage income everyday with in-running bets if you know where to look. We'll look at in running arbitrage opportunities sport by sport.
CRICKET
If you've ever seen a cricket game you'll know that just one wicket can change the direction of the game - as well as bookmaker odds that create a bountiful supply of arbitrage opportunities as the game develops. With cricket the the arbitrage chance will tend to form only after an entire innings has been played out - in the second innings, as the wickets and boundaries begin to accumulate you will see more and more arbitrage situations being formed before your eyes. These can be found not only in the results category but also in total runs betting. Cricket is certainly one of the best sports to profit from arbitrage, both pre-match as well as in-running - and don’t forget, bookmakers sometimes have to price bets with a view to balance their books rather than setting them realistically based on the probable outcome. This applies to every sport and is fantastic news for the arbitrage trader.
FOOTBALL
Steer clear of the result after 90 minutes area for in-running football. The fact is (and it can be a little surprising) there just aren't enough opportunities here to make it worth looking at. The last corners market is much better if you wish to find in-running football arbitrage situations - a 2 possibility event and plenty of 'out-of-date' prices (as most bookies see this as a secondary importance market, much to our delight). Wait until the last quarter of the match, and if the match changes dramatically (e.g. a goal is scored) you will find out of date prices that you can just secure. Remember that bookies will close the market with 80 minutes gone on the clock - remember this when placing a late arbitrage trade.
OTHERS
A moderate amount of arbitrage opportunities can be found with GOLF but patience is required, and your best chances are when a tournament is limited to 3 potential winners. Arbitrage opportunities tend to be found more often in the European tour. With SNOOKER it takes just one moment to completely change a game. It's worthwhile following the in-running details and odds to see if there are any easy pickings to be had.
