How to calculate a surebet?

Here I will show you a short example of a typical surebet.

TENNIS

Australian Open Women (Tuesday, 16.1.2007 at 6:00)
Tamira Paszek (AUT) – Severine Bremond (FRA)

Winamax
Odd for a win of Tamara Paszek: 2,3

Pinnaclesport
Odd for a win of Severine Bremont: 2,01

The win for you here would be 7,3% (both odds are above 2,0).

OK, now we have to know how much we are betting on Paszek and on Bremond. We always begin with the better player (lower odds):

Step 1: We bet 100$ for a win of Bremont at Winamax.

If Bremont wins we will get 100 x 2,01 = 201$ paid out.
But this is a surebet, so we also have to bet for a win of Paszek.

Step 2: The question is how much do we have to bet on a win of Paszek?

We devide the win for Bremont by the odds for Paszek:

201$ / 2,3 = 87,4$

Ok, now we bet 87,4$ on a win of Paszek… we will get paid out with 201$ for her win too.

RESULT:

Win Bremont: 201$ from Winamax
Win Paszek: 201$ from Pinnaclesports

Our total money in bets: 187,4$.

Our win: 13,6$

The win is nice. But this was just an example, normally we are playing with higher wagers, like 300$. So the win would be 41$.
