Sports Arbitrage World Outlook: April 2009

What a fruitful month March turned out to be for sport arbitrage traders. 982 sports matches featured in arbs last month, leading to a total number of 13,152 arbitrage trades. The average profit margin of these arbs was around 3.6%.

The major highlight of last month sporting events tennis and soccer offering traders well over 6,000 arbs. Tennis produced over 3,500 /trades while soccer featured over 2,500. On the US front, NBA proved rewarding for sport arbitrages traders providing over 2000 trading opportunities, some yielding as much as 14%.

Meanwhile, in Europe, Snooker and Formula 1 together produced over 500 profitable arbitrage opportunities generated mainly by Expekt and The Greek. The average profits yield for these arbs were around 6%.

The heavily publicized World Superbike Championship which took place in at Losail, Qatar however proved to be a disappointment with very small numbers of arbs created. The prominent bookmakers here were Stan James and Coral.

April will be very profitable for active sports arbitrage traders who are Motor racing fans. Look out for an abundance of Formula 1 arbs from Interwetten and Expekt. The FIA Formula 1 Malaysian Grand Prix races take place on April 3^rd to 5^th April at the Sepang International Circuit, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I expect this event will generate plenty of arbs as before.

This month there are also a few opportunities for you to grab some extra free money. 10Bet has an April 1^st bonus of 33% – that’s today only. Most will be giving away free bets over the Cheltenham weekend. Check out this bonus scalping tutorial if you are in doubt on how to capitalize on these bonuses.

I wish you a very profitable month ahead!

At the same time, sporting events on the other side of the Atlantic also gave modest profits for arbs traders focusing on NBA Basketball and NHL Ice Hockey with over 2,300 and 1,000 arbs respectively. Returns on some of these arbs were as high as 7%.

European sporting events were also as rewarding. Boxing and Snooker together featured a total of 1,400 surebets. Skybet, Stan James & The Greek most active bookmakers. Returns on these arbs were modestly profitable with yield averaging 4%.

The much talked about Tiger Woods golf matches which played out last month at North Course La Jolla, California and Ritz-Carlton GC Marana, Arizona turned into a major bonanza returning yields of over 6%. The prominent bookmakers featured here were Bodog and Victor Chandler.

Sports arbitrage traders around the world are braced for one of the busiest months of the near as we move into March.

March Madness is a phenomenon that results in huge numbers of sports arbitrage trades from the first/second week of march through to the first week of April each year.

The nickname given to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) men’s & women’s basketball tournaments, March Madness involves hundreds of matches being played over a very short period of time as the teams compete to make it to the final four. Its popularity means that even bookmakers with no basketball expertise offer markets.

The result? An incredible number of sports arbitrage & middles trading opportunities.

Basketball fans wait every year for the tradition – the excitement – and the upsets that make up this tournament.
