3-way Arbitrage (1X2) calculator
Football arbitrage with 1X2 (home/draw/away)
Find arbitrage opportunities across home/draw/away markets and calculate optimal stake distribution.
What is 3-way arbitrage?
Football 1X2 markets have three outcomes: home win, draw, away win. When three different bookmakers (or one bookmaker with mispriced odds) collectively offer odds whose implied probabilities sum to less than 100%, an arbitrage exists. This calculator handles the math. Note: 3-way arbs are rarer and tighter than 2-way arbitrage, so check bookmaker margin first — sharp books like Pinnacle rarely allow these.
