Value betting vs arbitrage

Arbitrage locks a guaranteed-in-theory margin by covering all outcomes. Value betting takes prices that beat fair odds and profits over the long run.

Both rely on wide, normalised coverage with a sharp reference. The difference is risk profile and frequency: arbitrage is rarer and lower-variance, value more frequent and higher-variance.

Neither is guaranteed money. Arbitrage is constrained by limits and price movement, value by variance and account restrictions.
