What are surebets and how to deal with the strategy

Have you ever tried sports betting? Would you like to turn this hobby into an additional income? Then you, for sure, will be interested to learn more about surebets.

Surebet – arbitrage situation, in the presence of which you always win. How is this possible? Quite simple! Let’s consider the operation and effectiveness of surebets on a specific example.

For example, in the Minnesota United – Nashville match, one bookmaker sets odds of 2.23 for total goals under 2.5 (TU 2.5), and the second – 2.05 for total goals over 2.5 (TO 2.5). You have $420: $200 bet on Under 2.5 and $220 on Over 2.5. Let’s count:

TU 2.5: $200 * 2.23 = $446

TO 2.5: $220 * 2.05 = $451

As you can see, your net income will be $26 or $31 at any result of the match. This became possible due to the existence of a surebet, which was formed due to the difference in the bookmakers odds.

How to calculate the surebet?

We showed an example of a simple surebet, which is very rare in practice. Often we need to use a surebet calculator to calculate arbitrage situations. Similar functionality is built into some arb services.

Moreover an independent search for arbitrage situations involves monitoring dozens of bookmakers, analyzing their odds and calculating of surebets. Thus, even the presence of a convenient calculator does not greatly reduce this time-consuming process.

For this reason, arbers from the USA and Canada are often use special services that analyse and collect information on existing surebets in dozens or even hundreds of bookmakers. As of today, the leader among such services is BetWasp.

This arb scanner analyzes information from 40+ familiar to US bettors bookmakers in 40 sports in 180 markets. In addition to the surebets, Betwasp provides information on middles and valuebets.

Another advantage of the service is its extensive functionality, which allows you to make working with arbitrage situations as comfortable and efficient as possible. Among the useful functions of BW are one-click redirect to betting sites, filters with extensive settings for surebet results, the ability to keep track of bets, etc.

How much do arbers earn?

As the experience of many professional players shows, it is quite realistic to earn 15-20% of the game bank monthly. This means, if your bank is $1000, then the income can be $150-200 per month.

Of course, the size of the initial bank and how well you manage it plays a huge role here. In other words, if your money simply lies on the accounts of bookmakers and you do not bet on them, then you will not receive any profit regardless of the size of the bank.

As for the time to work, many experts advise spending about 15 hours a week on working out the strategy. It’s not much, considering how useful you are using this time to fill your wallet.

Let’s summarize

As you can see, the surebet strategy really works and, as the experience of many players has shown, it also brings a very good income. However, to work with the strategy, you need a high-quality surebet scanner if you do not want to spend a lot of time searching for arbitrage situations on your own.

Hurray for the Riff Raff Releases New Song ‘Resistance Rockers’

Hurray for the Riff Raff has released a deluxe version of last year’s Life on Earth. It includes two new songs called ‘Resistance Rockers’ and ‘Let Her in the Sky’, which were made during the sessions for the album, and the former also comes with a music video created by Kelly Gallagher. Check it out below.

“‘Resistance Rockers’ is written for the kid in me who discovered live music at age 14 and had my life saved by it,” Alynda Segarra explained in a statement. “The video created by Kelly Gallagher features blink-and-you’ll-miss-it footage of little Alynda dancing in a mosh pit in Tompkins Square Park circa 2000. I wouldn’t have survived my teen years without that energy and inspiration. That’s a feeling shared by many, so I hope the song speaks to your same open-eyed younger self.”

The Pop Group’s Mark Stewart Dead at 62

Mark Stewart, co-founder and vocalist of the influential UK post-punk band the Pop Group, has died. His longtime label, Mute Records, confirmed the news in a statement, writing, “In honour of this original, fearless, sensitive, artistic and funny man, think for yourself and question everything. The world was changed because of Mark Stewart, it will never be the same without him.” No cause of death was provided. Stewart was 62 years old.

Mark Stewart grew up in Bristol, England, where he formed the Pop Group in 1977 as a teenager alongside guitarist John Waddington, bassist Simon Underwood, guitarist and saxophonist Gareth Sager, and drummer Bruce Smith. Drawing from punk rock as well as genres like funk, dub, and free jazz, the band released their debut album Y, which was produced by reggae artist Dennis Bovell, in 1979. After signing with Rough Trade, the Pop Group issued their second album, For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder?, before disbanding in 1981.

What Chances Do the Walking Dead Spin-Offs Have of Success?

0

The Walking Dead has proved to be a massively successful franchise, with the TV series by AMC Studios bringing the zombie apocalypse theme to a global audience. This level of success has led to numerous spin-offs being created but will any of them prove to be as popular as the original?

The Walking Dead Slots

One example of how The Walking Dead has reached other parts of the entertainment industry comes from the world of casino slots. The idea is that players can try simple games of chance based on virtually any type of theme, so a hugely popular TV series like this is an obvious choice for a slot developer looking for inspiration and a topic that will attract a lot of players.

When playing online slots, we can see two games based on this franchise, one called The Walking Dead and the other with the name of The Walking Dead Cash Collect. Both feature symbols showing the images of the show’s main characters and the same basic gameplay, but with varying features that can be triggered as you play.

The fact that there are two slots on this theme suggests that the first one was a success. However, this is an extremely diverse and competitive market where many themes jostle for the attention of players. Having said that, it seems entirely possible that Playtech brings out a third Walking Dead slot with some new features at some point.

Tales of the Walking Dead

This spin-off series began in 2022 as the fourth TV series in the overall franchise. Focusing on a group of characters that combines some existing favourites with newcomers, the first set of six episodes on AMC+ was well received although critics pointed out that the quality varied between episodes.

It’s been successful enough that AMC has already confirmed that a second series has been ordered, with the proposed title of More Tales from the TWDU. This series seems set to continue with the format of six episodes that cover a range of new and existing characters. Each episode will again be completely self-contained and could bring back some characters who died in the original series.

Scott M. Gimple is the chief creative officer for this spin-off and he said that since it’s an anthology show there was no need for the first season to end with a cliffhanger. This is just one of several TV shows have been created to follow on from the original premise, with The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon and The Walking Dead: Dead City among the others, but the signs are that it could be one of the most successful.

Back to the Original?

Is there any chance that the original series is brought back to life for a 12th season? The 11th season of the original series was said to be the last. Released in 24 episodes over 2021 and 2022, it was praised for drawing the saga to a close with a satisfactory conclusion that seems to have completely killed off any chance of a 12th season.

All 177 episodes are on streaming services now but the show has definitely been cancelled, with apparently no hope of a 12th series in the future. However, while fans may be disappointed with this news, it could act as a way of boosting the public’s appetite for the different spin-offs that promise to keep the franchise alive and gain new fans for the foreseeable future.

Brandy Clark Shares New Single ‘She Smoked in the House’

Brandy Clark has released a new single called ‘She Smoked in the House’. It’s the latest preview of their forthcoming self-titled album, which was produced by Brandi Carlile. Take a listen below.

“I was driving around listening to a lot of Merle Haggard. I got stuck on ‘Are the Good Times Really Over for Good’ for weeks,” Clark reflected in a statement. “That song really makes me think of my grandparents and that generation. I just couldn’t get away from it. So I started on a song called ‘They Smoked in the House,’ but I just couldn’t connect with it in the way that I needed to. I remembered someone once telling me that to be general, you must be specific and so I pivoted and started working on ‘SHE Smoked in the House.’ The ‘SHE’ is my grandma Ruth. To this day, my grandma Ruth is my favorite character to ever walk the planet. Looking back, I wrote this song because I was missing her and the things that she valued in life. I never thought that it would ever be on a record. It was for me….but now it’s for you, too.”

“This album is a return home to me in many ways,” Clark added. “Musically it’s the rawest I’ve been since 12 Stories and maybe even rawer. When Brandi and I sat down and talked about working together, one thing that really intrigued me was her saying ‘I see it as your return to the northwest.’ (Since the two of us are both from Washington state). That comment inspired so much for me. It took me back to where and how I grew up. ‘Northwest’ and ‘She Smoked In The House’ were both a result of that early conversation. Working with another recording artist on this project was such a gift that I didn’t even know I needed and changed the way I want to write songs and make records moving forward. My hope is that anyone who hears this album will feel the heart that I put into every note of it.”

Brandy Clark is set for release on May 19 via Warner Records.

Leith Ross Releases New Single ‘Music Box’

Leith Ross has released a new single, ‘Music Box’, which will appear on their upcoming debut LP To Learn – out May 19 via Republic/Polydor Records. It follows previous offerings ‘Guts’ and ‘(You) on My Arm’. Check it out below.

“‘Music Box’ is my only imaginary song so far, it’s not based on anything true, other than whatever is buried deep in my subconscious,” Ross explained in a press release. “Kind of like dreams, I guess, which is exactly what this song is trying to emulate. It’s a spooky little song about a made up adventure. An ode to daydreaming and the fantastical!”
