How Betting Odds Work

how betting odds work
how does the odds on Sports Betting works? for example on baseball.?

i mean when they put it like +5 and stuff

If the Cubs are playing the Mets, and the Cubs are +5, that means the Cubs will get 5 points added to their score (for betting only) so if the Mets win 6-4, the Cubs bet will still win because they got the extra 5 points.

In this story, more people were betting on the Mets, and the Bookies can’t afford to cover bets, so they keep adding points to the Cubs until the betting evens out. This way, no matter who wins and what the score ends up being, the person holding the bet keeps it even, he just makes a little.

Where is the best arbitrage opportunities considering the following most important factors :

1. I can get 8-10 arbs daily within 1-5% range
2. A market that can accept considerable high/unlimited amounts (atleast 100,000 per bet) — a high turn over market
3. Reliable/Trusted

An experienced investor can answer me, he knows xactly what i mean to ask him/her

All answers/opinions/suggestions welcomed

nAH. Not the easiest strategy because many people smarter than us have priced in the possibility of the buyout happening. If they feel that the buyout will happen, then by the time you get in, there won’t be too much profits to be made.

So many times there is not a lot of upside you can make by the time you get in, but if the merger doesn’t happen, you will lose a lot since the stock price is already inflated because of the possibility of being bought out.

If you want to look into it though, this site has all the pending deals
