Surebet Zone have just announced a discounted fee until the 31st of August and the addition of a number of bookmakers to their coverage. They have been added to the main Sports Arbitrage trading alert service page in the main Sports Arbitrage Guide website.
Their discounted fee is only €19, and they also offer a 2 day free trial so you can try before you buy. They have a decent coverage of bet types, with a small selection of high quality bookmakers (all but 1 score very high in popularity on SBB). Their system seems to be pretty smooth and reports in the DTM forums are already quite positive about the results.
A couple of positive points that I take from looking at them for the second time now. I do like the way they display the arbs with just the basic information that matters, then the details displayed once you click on it. (See screenshot here) You really don’t need to know all of the details of every arb found, you only need to know the details once you decide to place it. The second major positive is the way that they clearly display all of the odds they have for that particular game. I like being able to easily see ‘the market’ at a glance. That helps you to identify palpable errors, and spot whether one bookmaker is grossly out of line. Any experienced traders will know how invaluable that information is, and having it so conspicuously displayed is handy, whereas most other alert services require a click through to see it.
However, on the negative side, to see the calculator you do have to click through to a whole new page. That can be annoying when you are trying to rush an arb and you are trying to balance your thoughts of ‘how much and where?’ and ‘What side/Who am i betting on?’ So there is room for improvement there. That being said though, their calculator is good efficient, and contrary to my previous report they do indeed allow you to vary and lock in each individual bet. The calculator starts on a ‘basic arb’ method (where you just change the total investment), but you can then select ‘Adjust Stakes’ which gives you complete control over each individual bet and the ability to favour one side or the other. Quite an effective method too.
More Alert Services to be added
In other news I will be working over the next couple of days to add a few more services to the main alert services page: Gamblers Paradise, Free Sports Arbitrage and AusSoft/GlobalSoft/Reevera. The last one may be a shock, but they do indeed sell an alert service and the philosophy at SAG is to provide the information, do our best to provide *All* of the information, and to provide it in an objective fashion. So an entry will be made for AusSoft, and I think it will do more to highlight the discrepancy between their price and what they offer compared to all of the other services. Providing the information side by side with their competition will allow the market to actually work, and allow the consumer to make an informed choice, rather than a choice forced by salesmanship in ignorance.
