Your first both-sides bet, step by step

One example both-sides bet (an arb), from the split to logging it.

4 min readChecked on Oct 31, 2026

This walks through one example ticket, the way you would place a real one. First you need an account at both betting sites. You need money in both, and both logged in on your phone or computer.

WynFynd never needs your betting site login. You place every bet yourself.

Ottawa @ Toronto

Who wins

  2. Bet 2Site BOttawa · +100Pays $510.00 if it wins$255
Made-up prices to show how a ticket reads. Real ones are often smaller.

1. Read the top

The top shows the profit % (+1.92%) and the profit in dollars for your amount. Above it, one line says if the bet is still good:

  • Still open, with how long ago the prices were checked.
  • Price changed, with the new numbers.
  • Gone, when it is over. Never place bets from a Gone ticket.

2. The split

The ticket splits $500 so every result pays back about the same. Exact amounts would be $245.10 and $254.90.

Round to $5 is on unless you turn it off in Alerts. Then each amount is a multiple of $5: $245 at Site A and $255 at Site B. Round amounts look like normal bets to a site.

  • If Toronto wins: $245 x 2.08 = $509.60 back. That is +$9.60 on the $500.
  • If Ottawa wins: $255 x 2.00 = $510.00 back, +$10.00.
  • So the ticket says $9.60 to $10.00 profit whoever wins, if both bets go through.

3. Bet 1, then Bet 2

  1. Open both sites before you bet. When we have a site's link, the ticket has an Open button for it.
  2. Place Bet 1. Its price is the most likely to move. It is usually the one furthest above the other sites.
  3. On the site's bet slip, check the price is still 2.08 or better before you confirm. If it is lower, stop. Don't place it, and look at the ticket again.
  4. Place Bet 2 straight away, at the other site. The longer you wait, the more likely its price moves.

4. If a price moves

Say Site A took your $245 on Toronto. Then Site B dropped Ottawa from 2.00 to 1.95 before you bet there. The ticket shows Price changed and works the numbers out again.

2.08 and 1.95 add up to 99.36%, still under 100%. So you still come out ahead, just by less.

Example

Bet 2 moved, still ahead

  1. Your Bet 1 pays $509.60 if Toronto wins.
  2. Bet $261.33 on Ottawa at 1.95, so that side pays the same: $261.33 x 1.95 = $509.60.
  3. You bet $506.33 in total. You make about $3.27 whoever wins.

The ticket lists backup sites under each bet, with the profit they still keep ("still +x%"). Check those first: another site may still pay the old price.

Sometimes no site pays enough any more. Ottawa at 1.90 makes 100.71%, over 100%. Then you choose between two things:

  • Cover it anyway. $268.21 at 1.90 locks in a small loss, about $3.61, whoever wins.
  • Keep the one bet you have. $245 on Toronto wins $264.60 or loses $245.

The ticket's If Bet 2 doesn't go through box shows these numbers for your real amounts, before you start.

5. Log it

Tap Log both bets on the ticket, or under the alert in Telegram. The ticket asks for the odds and amounts you really got at each site. That way My bets matches your accounts.

Then it asks What's left at each site. Type the balance the site shows. Bet next then only suggests bets that money can pay for.

6. After the game

Main bets are marked from the final score, and My bets fills in the result. You mark player props yourself, in My bets or with the buttons Telegram sends.

The payout lands at the winning site. In this example it ends up at Site A or Site B, not split. Money shows when it should be back and the best place to use it next.
