What is an arb?
An arbitrage (or "arb") is when two or more bookmakers disagree enough on a market that you can back every outcome and lock in a guaranteed profit regardless of which side wins. Sherwood scans the major Australian books every few seconds and surfaces opportunities with a margin above a safe threshold.
Arbs typically range from 0.5% to 3% of stake. A 2% arb on a $1,000 stake returns roughly $20 no matter the outcome.
How do I place an arb bet?
- Find an opportunity on the Dashboard.
- Open both (or all) bookmaker sites side-by-side and confirm the odds still match — odds move fast.
- Copy the suggested stakes from the calculator and place each leg as quickly as possible.
- Log each leg in Bet Tracker so your health scores and P&L stay accurate.
Important: bookmakers actively limit accounts that look like arbitrage bettors. Use the responsible-gambling guidance and read our health-score tips before placing large stakes.

Which bookmakers does Sherwood cover?
We currently cover the major Australian corporate books: TAB, Sportsbet, PointsBet, Ladbrokes, Neds, Unibet, and BetFair Exchange. Coverage depends on each book's scraping surface and changes occasionally when bookmakers update their sites.
Are these odds guaranteed?
No. Odds move constantly and bookmakers can void bets, limit accounts, or reprice markets at their discretion. Always verify the live odds on the bookmaker site before placing a bet.
