Sequential calculator

Arbitrage on an accumulator, line by line

You have a live accumulator at Bookmaker #1. As each match comes up, you cover the opposite result at Bookmaker #2 with a line, so your profit is the same whatever happens.

The calculator splits the line stakes so every scenario evens out: the first match is lost, the second is lost, or the whole accumulator lands.

Set up your accumulator

You put your own money in and, if it wins, you get the stake back plus the winnings.

What this calculator can NOT promise you

  • The opposing odds are the ones you typed today. Each line gets placed later, when its match comes up, and by then the price may have moved. The maths is exact for the odds you enter, not for the odds you will find.
  • Bookmakers limit and close accounts that arb systematically. That is their normal practice, not a glitch.
  • A line only exists if there is money on the other side. Check the available amount before counting on it.

Gambling can be addictive. Only stake what you can afford to lose. Over 18s only.
