# Arbitrage Calculator

## Overview

The Arbitrage Calculator displays the current arb you've selected, showing the total wager amounts needed. Any changes that occur with odds on a bet will be displayed and the wager amount will be automatically recalculated.  The calculator works in tandem with the Wallet by monitoring the available funds you have on each sportsbook, as well as the default/custom bet amounts you've assigned.

## Arb Display Functions

When an arb is displayed on the calculator, there are a few different functions to cover.

<figure><img src="/files/8s8KT2VsJwXjnLPYBeAY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

While it might seem overwhelming at first glance, the calculator is very simple to use.

Let's take an example with a game between the Lions and Browns:

After clicking the Arb Card, the calculator will populate with the game and bet details.&#x20;

On the left side, we see (from top to bottom):

<figure><img src="/files/vZUzR38sEjDUIKEKT2Su" alt=""><figcaption><p>Left side of the calculator</p></figcaption></figure>

* Sportsbook involved
* Bet type
* Current odds
* Wager amount
* Total Balance on that Sportsbook

There are also a few functions that we have access to:&#x20;

* Clicking on the Sportsbook logo will take you directly to the event page
* Clicking the green bar under the odds will **stop** it from automatically updating (Click it again to turn back on)
* Clicking the lock button below the wager will **hold** it in place, regardless of the odds or wager on the right side (Click it again to unlock)
* Typing in any of these 4 fields will lock them respectively

*The right side contains the other half of the bet with the appropriate information*

On the middle, we see (from top to bottom):

<figure><img src="/files/SxMZrVCbqnHsxAFz9LVw" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* The League of the bet
* Average odds of both sides across all sportsbooks (the green number is the +EV side which is deviating the most from the average and is more likely to change)
* Both Teams involved
* Bet Type
* Current game score/time
* Profit - Below profit, we display the total payout from both sides. On the right, we display the average profit between the two.

There is one additional control at the bottom we can access:

* Track bet (adds the current bet to the bet tracker)

## Using the Calculator&#x20;

When an arb is being displayed on the calculator, we simply follow the information it's presenting. Open the appropriate sportsbooks, find the game, and place the bet on the correct market. If the odds change on the bet, the wager will automatically update to ensure that you're profitable. However, sometimes we will need to manually go in and enter a new wager/odds.

To do so:

* Click the odds window and enter the new value
* Click the wager window and enter the new amount

### Controls

In an effort to speed up your ability to use the calculator, we've implemented some hotkeys

<figure><img src="/files/jt2n6DZhyAepvCanZoVr" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* The **SHIFT** key will move **UP/DOWN** between the odds and wager windows
* The **TAB** key will move **LEFT/RIGHT** on either the odds window or the wager window (depending on which one you're currently on)
* The **SPACE** key will change the odds format between **POSITIVE** and **NEGATIVE** on whichever odds window is selected
* The **UP/DOWN** arrow keys will increase or decrease the value of the currently selected window

## Side Calculator Controls

The bottom of the calculator contains a few additional controls as well as our profit screen.

<figure><img src="/files/NseR8pXRxATAxPI9cfiI" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

From top to bottom, we have:

* Previous Arb button to see the last clicked arb
* Next Arb button to go to current/next clicked arb
* Clear button to reset the calculator (click previous arb button to undo)
* Calculator export button that will generate a sharable link that populates the calculator with the shared opportunity&#x20;
* Emergency Mode selector

#### Emergency View

<figure><img src="/files/VKypSdyXpLceKShnr3sV" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The revamped emergency view allows you to view all books that have odds for the selected line. This emergency feature is invaluable for hedging lines when one side of your bet has closed, or when just looking for a different book to place an arb on.

Clicking on one of the alternate lines listed in the emergency panel will load that book/odds directly into your calculator.

## One-Click Bet

Arbing is all about speed, and AVO wants you to succeed. We've implemented One-Click Bet (OCB) on sportsbooks that support it which allows you to open the sportsbook website with the bet slip open, containing your bet. For books that don't support OCB, we'll take you to the game page on their website.

### Using OCB

When an arb is on the calculator, you'll see the two sportsbooks logos on the left and right side above each bet. Clicking on the logo will open up the sportsbook website.&#x20;

*<mark style="color:purple;">**We recommend using the AVO Tabs plugin to open the links in another tab so that you can still see the dashboard at the same time**</mark>*&#x20;

#### Supported OCB Sportsbooks

* Fanduel
* Draftkings
* BetMGM
* Caesars
* ESPNBet
* BetRivers
* SugarHouse
* BetParx
* ProphetX
* BallyBet
* Novig
* HardRock
* Bet365

## Calculator Errors/Indicators

While using the calculator, it's common for bets to close or for odds to change. When this happens, different types of error lights will be displayed on the screen.

### Profitable/Unprofitable Bet

Depending on the profit % of the current arb, the center display will show a range of colors going from green (high %) to red (low % or zero)

The background color will turn red when an arb is closed. The calculator will reflect this as well.&#x20;

* Green - Arb is open and profitable
* Red - Arb is either closed on one or both sides, or profit is zero/negative

<figure><img src="/files/TUOe1BCWDlzNArnLj76l" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Closed Bet

If a bet closes on either side (or both), a closed icon will appear beneath the wager for the respective side. A sound will also play to indicate that this action has occurred. If the bet reopens, the icon will disappear and a different sound will play to alert you (unless you click a different arb card).

<figure><img src="/files/TUOe1BCWDlzNArnLj76l" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Split Profit

Depending on the odds/amount wagered, you can sometimes get a split profit. This is represented by an orange triangle icon and the split profits are displayed on the profit screen. If the bet on the left side sportsbook wins, the profit will be the left (first) one display and visa versa for the right side.

Usually, this happens when one or both wager amounts are locked. Simply unlocking one of the wager amounts will re-balance the profit.\
\
On V2, we will always display the individual profits for each side, but a true 'split profit' bet will cause the profit display to change slightly:

<figure><img src="/files/Ka65khowffBzvesyzqYa" alt=""><figcaption><p>If Bwin wins, the profit is $3.60. If Novig wins, the profit is $5.00</p></figcaption></figure>

## Standalone Use

Sometimes, you might want to use the calculator without any arb information on it. To do so, simply click **CLEAR** under the calculator and you'll have a blank canvas to work with. All calculator controls mentioned earlier will work on clear mode.

<figure><img src="/files/OHAJjZmHIK24PZYQ60pG" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Additionally, you can also create a custom bet to be tracked. See 'Custom Bets' for more details.
