Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Prysm and surebet betting.

A surebet (or arbitrage bet) is a situation where a bettor can profit regardless of the outcome by placing bets on all possible outcomes with different bookmakers. This is possible when bookmakers have different opinions on the probability of an event or are slow to update their odds.

Basics

Yes, arbitrage betting is completely legal. You are simply placing bets on available odds across different platforms. However, bookmakers generally don't like arbitrage bettors because they are guaranteed to lose money to them over time, so they may limit or close accounts if they suspect this activity.

Legal & Safety

You can start with as little as $100 to learn the ropes. However, to make significant profits, a larger bankroll (e.g., $1,000+) is recommended. This allows you to keep funds in multiple bookmaker accounts and cover larger stakes.

Getting Started

P2P matching is a unique Prysm feature that allows users in different jurisdictions to coordinate bets. If a high-value surebet requires a bookmaker restricted in your country, a community member in a different region can cover that side of the bet, while you cover the other.

Features

To stay under the radar, we recommend: 1) Using round numbers for stakes (e.g., $50 instead of $51.43). 2) Avoiding very obscure leagues. 3) Not withdrawing funds too frequently. 4) Placing occasional 'mug bets' (regular bets) to look like a typical recreational bettor.

Legal & Safety

Yes, to execute surebets, you must have accounts with multiple bookmakers. The arbitrage opportunity exists precisely because different bookmakers offer different odds on the same event.
