What is 6-Way Arbitrage?

6-Way Arbitrage is an advanced betting technique that covers all six possible outcomes in a given market, ensuring you can lock in a guaranteed profit regardless of the final result. This type of arbitrage can be found in sports betting markets where there are multiple possible outcomes, such as in markets for exact scores, multi-way markets in esports, or more specialized betting options.

How Does 6-Way Arbitrage Work?

An arbitrage opportunity exists if:

(1 / Odds 1) + (1 / Odds 2) + (1 / Odds 3) + (1 / Odds 4) + (1 / Odds 5) + (1 / Odds 6) < 1

If the sum of the inverse of all possible odds is less than 1, an arbitrage opportunity is present, meaning a risk-free profit can be made by placing bets on all outcomes.

Example Calculation

Consider a match in a sports market with six possible outcomes. The odds for each outcome are:

Team A wins 3-0 → 5.00
Team A wins 3-1 → 6.00
Team A wins 3-2 → 7.00
Team B wins 3-0 → 5.50
Team B wins 3-1 → 6.50
Team B wins 3-2 → 7.50

Step 1: Check for Arbitrage

(1 / 5.00) + (1 / 6.00) + (1 / 7.00) + (1 / 5.50) + (1 / 6.50) + (1 / 7.50) = 0.980 → Arbitrage exists.

Step 2: Calculate Stakes (for a $100 total bet)

Team A 3-0: $20.00
Team A 3-1: $16.67
Team A 3-2: $14.29
Team B 3-0: $18.18
Team B 3-1: $15.38
Team B 3-2: $14.81

Step 3: Calculate Profit

Any outcome results in a return of about $102-$103, ensuring a $2-$3 profit.
