Getting Started

Five steps from zero to your first scanned bets - no experience needed.

1. Open accounts at 3+ books

Arbitrage and +EV both need choice. Start with the big Nigerian books - Bet9ja, BetKing, SportyBet, NairaBet, 1xBet, MSport - verify your KYC early, because you cannot collect winnings without it.

2. Fund a bankroll you can leave alone

Money set aside for betting must never be rent, school fees or savings. ₦100,000-₦500,000 of dedicated bankroll is enough to start with the scanners.

3. Run the scanners every day

The Arbitrage board shows bets whose combined price is under 100% - profit locked either way. The +EV board shows prices beating the fair line. Check both morning and evening; prices move.

4. Take the number you see

Scanners expire quickly. If a row says 2.10 on one book and 1.96 on another, open both apps, confirm the price, then place both legs with the exact stakes shown.

5. Track, review, repeat

Log every bet. Compare your results against the closing line - if you consistently beat it, your bankroll grows with variance working for you, not against you.
