A desktop application to automatically find arbitrage betting opportunities across different sportsbooks.

Arbitrage betting (also known as "arbing" or "sure betting") is a strategy where you place bets on all possible outcomes of an event at odds that guarantee a profit regardless of the result. This happens when bookmakers disagree on the odds of an event, creating an opportunity for guaranteed returns.

• Automatic Arbitrage Detection: Scan multiple sports and bookmakers to find profitable arbitrage opportunities
• Sports Filtering: Select specific sports to narrow your search
• Profit Margin Calculation: Set a minimum profit threshold for opportunities
• Bankroll Management: Calculate optimal stake distribution across different outcomes
• Detailed Results: View opportunities in both table and text formats
• Data Export: Export results to CSV or JSON formats for further analysis
