# Arbitrage Finder
|
|
A simple tool to find sports betting arbitrage opportunities.
|
|
|
|
The tool fetches the odds from [The Odds API](https://the-odds-api.com/) and compares the odds at different bookmakers to each other in order to determine whether there are profitable and risk-free bets available.
|
|
