A surebet, or arbitrage bet, is a set of bets spread across different bookmakers that covers every possible outcome of the same event. BetOven is a surebet bot you install on your own PC: it finds them and places the bets from your own bookmaker accounts, following the rules you set.

A surebet is a combination of bets placed with different bookmakers that covers every outcome of the same event (with the limits we set out in the questions below). If you want the long version, read what surebets are. Here is the short one: a surebet finder tells you the opportunity exists; BetOven works out the stakes and places the bets itself, from the accounts you have connected.
You connect your own bookmaker accounts and set the filters: sports, markets, minimum odds, stake sizes. From there the software looks for surebets and places them itself, live markets included, even when you are away from the computer.
Forget surebet calculators and the hours spent watching a price vanish before you have finished typing the stake. BetOven does the maths and places the bets, on your own computer.
BetOven compares the odds that different bookmakers publish for the same event, live markets included, and picks out the gaps between them. No forecasts. Only real differences in the prices, filtered by the parameters you set: that is what separates a tipster from an automation tool.
If what you are after is software that predicts results, this is not it.
Connect the accounts you already hold with the supported bookmakers.
It compares the odds at the bookmakers you have connected, in real time, and picks out the surebets and value bets that match the filters you set.
It places them from your own accounts, following the rules you set, without you having to sit in front of the screen.

A surebet bot is software that finds surebets and places them according to the filters you have set.
These betting bots scan the bookmakers in real time looking for gaps in the odds. Some only raise an alert and leave you to get both bets on by hand before the price moves; others place them automatically, which is what BetOven does from your own computer.
It is worth being clear about what it asks of you before you start: your own money in each bookmaker account, time to install the software and set the parameters, and the fact that bookmakers limit accounts used this way sooner or later. All three are covered in the questions below.

They exist because of the differences between the odds that different bookmakers publish for the same event. Every bookmaker sets prices that move constantly with the probability of each outcome and, now and then, gets one of them wrong. That is where a surebet comes from.
There are two, and you are better off knowing them before you start:
In both cases what is left is an ordinary open bet — a value bet, in the jargon — and it can lose. It does not happen often, but it happens, and it is part of what you take on with any surebet bot. It is also the reason to start with stakes you are comfortable losing.
There are three ways:
BetOven is the third kind. Once it is installed on your computer, it searches for surebets and places the bets to the settings you give it. The difference from a surebet finder is that it does the placing too.
Yes, sooner or later. Limiting an account is the only tool a bookmaker has against someone betting systematically on pricing differences, and it happens the same way whether you do it by hand or with a bot.
They limit for all sorts of reasons: an account that always takes the best price, betting patterns that look professional, activity in thin markets. Avoiding it altogether is close to impossible, so plan for it. The question is not whether it will happen, but how much use you get from each account before it does.
Anyone selling you a surebet bot without mentioning this is not being straight with you.
A surebet finder only sends the alert. It spots the gap in the odds and leaves you the part that is a race against the clock: opening both bookmakers, working out the two stakes and getting the bets on before the price moves. A surebet bot does that part too, and does it faster than anyone can by hand. That is the whole difference between the two, and it is why BetOven runs on your own machine instead of sending you notifications.
It works with any bookmaker licensed where you live — in Great Britain, the ones holding a Gambling Commission licence — through accounts you open and fund yourself.
They are not all the same technically: the markets on offer, how fast the prices move and how soon they limit accounts all vary. The bookmakers to start with and the full list of supported ones are kept up to date in our ranking.
