    I have been live bet arbitraging MMA and its so easy, I made pretty good money in terms of a percentage.

    I bet on the underdog prefight on one sports book (DraftKings) then wait for the natural swings of MMA so that the pre fight favorite is +100 or better and bet it on the other sports book (FanDuel) to arbitrage. 

    Im sure this method can also be applied to other sports that have crazy momentum swings where the pre game favorite can go down a decent amount of points (where the betting odds go to =100 or better) and still win.  I am trying to expand my method beyond MMA and Boxing.  I assume basketball would be an example as well.  Maybe tennis?

    Ranking the swingiest sports is a tough call, but I can give you some contenders. MMA and boxing definitely make the cut with those unpredictable momentum shifts you've been capitalizing on. Basketball is another wild one, where leads can evaporate in no time, making it prime for your method. And hey, tennis can be a rollercoaster too, with players turning the tide in a heartbeat. Ride those swings and keep stacking up those wins!

    @joe pockets

     What would be your general strategy with that?

     

    If its a tie game after the 4th inning, bet the live underdog wait for the other team to go up in odds (maybe 15-25% of the live underdog bet) and arbitrage it?

    By swingiest sports, I'd say the NHL for me. After crunching a month or two of O/Us, I can go on an absolute heater for a few weeks. Then some kind of change will occur in the season, and I'll have to readjust. NHL seems to have anywhere from 3-7 subsections when it comes to totals. The one thing that never changes is home underdog puckline +1.5, one of the better bets in all of sports even though the odds often suck.

    Basketball is a good sport to play this way. In the NBA you can have massive runs and end up with + numbers on both sides sometimes and other middles.
