This week’s Flow is all about smart trading. As the Champions League quarter-finals heat up, this Flow helps trading teams stay ahead with real-time arbitrage betting detection. By automating the process of spotting sure bets and reacting fast, you can protect your margin and stay in control—even when odds shift in seconds.
The challenge
During big tournaments like the Champions League, odds can change in seconds. That’s when arbitrage opportunities appear, giving players the chance to bet on different outcomes and lock in a profit. For sportsbooks, that means potential losses.
Trading teams need to:
- Monitor odds across multiple providers
- Detect when arbitrage conditions are met, especially above a 5% margin
- Act instantly to close or suspend risky markets
- Alert the team in real-time with relevant match and odds data
Doing this manually across feeds and platforms takes time and opens the door to missed opportunities or late reactions.
The solution
This Flow monitors odds in real-time from one or more sportsbooks using the Flows odds app.
It checks for arbitrage opportunities across markets—and if the margin goes over 5%, it takes action immediately:
- Sends an alert to your team in Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Google Chat
- Suspends or closes the market automatically
- Sends a confirmation with all the key match data
This Flow handles arbitrage betting detection across single or multiple sportsbooks, alerting your team and closing risky markets before profits leak.
How it works
Trigger
The Flow starts as soon as live odds come in—either continuously or on demand. It compares outcomes across selected Champions League matches.
Calculate
Flows runs a quick calculation to identify potential arbitrage (sure bet) opportunities—checking both single-provider and multi-provider odds in real-time.
Automate risk control
If an arbitrage margin is found:
- Your team gets an alert with match details and margin
- If the margin is above 5%, the market is auto-suspended
- A follow-up alert confirms the action and includes key data
The impact
This Flow turns manual monitoring into smart automation.
It helps your team stay in control, cut out delays, and avoid unnecessary losses, especially when the pressure’s on.
