Everything you need to get the most out of Sharkbetting.
Getting Started
How do I get started with Sharkbetting?
Create a free account, then explore the Oddsmatcher to find your first matched betting opportunity. Read the matched betting guide for a step-by-step walkthrough of placing your first back and lay bet.
Do I need to be an experienced bettor?
No. Our tools and guides are designed for all experience levels. Start with the matched betting guide and the matched betting calculator to understand the basics before using live tools.
Which bookmakers do I need accounts with?
You need at least one bookmaker account and one exchange account. We recommend BFB247 (Orbit Exchange) as your exchange. Add bookmakers gradually as you become comfortable with the process.
Tools & Features
What is the Oddsmatcher?
The Oddsmatcher scans 20+ bookmakers in real-time to find matched betting and arbitrage opportunities. It rates each opportunity and shows you the lay stake needed for guaranteed profit.
What is Match View?
Match View shows a side-by-side odds comparison for a single event across all bookmakers. It highlights outliers where one bookmaker prices a selection significantly higher, helping you spot value bets.
What is BetStream?
BetStream is a live exchange activity feed showing recent lay bets, trending markets, and volume rankings. It helps you identify the most liquid markets for matched betting. Visit the BetStream page to learn more.
Are the calculators free?
Yes. All 20 betting calculators are free with no registration required, including the matched betting calculator, surebet calculator, odds converter, and more.
Exchanges & Commission
Which exchange does Sharkbetting recommend?
BFB247 (Orbit Exchange) charges only 2.5% commission, half of Betfair's standard 5%. On a high-volume month, this difference adds hundreds of pounds to your bottom line.
What is the Betfair Expert Fee?
Betfair replaced the Premium Charge with the Expert Fee in December 2024. It can take up to 40% of net profits above a threshold. Many active matched bettors now use BFB247 to avoid it entirely.
Account & Billing
Is my betting data private?
Yes. Sharkbetting does not share your account data or betting activity with bookmakers or third parties. Your data is used solely to power the tools within the platform.
Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
Yes. Cancel any time from your account settings. You keep access until the end of your billing period with no additional charges.
