Breaking Bet Review – Opinion after using it

In this Breaking Bet review, you will find out if you are the target audience of this arbitrage and value betting software or not.

The evaluation below is based on long-term use of multiple odds-scanning tools since 2013, with a focus on refresh speed, bookmaker coverage, and practical execution constraints.

Tested: Opinion & Review

This service is a decent arbitrage & value betting software for Europe, Africa & Asia-based bettors when it comes to pre-match events.

They are scanning 50 main bookmakers that have many clones (Unibet – > 888sports, Stanleybet, etc.).

Their subscription prices are the most affordable in this industry when looking for a live odds scanner. But this lower price comes with some downsides.

They started operating in 2018.

Building up a scanner requires experience in this industry and a lot of time/money.

Some of the simple punters are searching for the best possible odds.

They want to get the highest payouts possible on accumulator bets.

In many cases, accumulator-focused approaches face structural disadvantages due to compounding margins and variance.

Some users transition to odds-scanning tools after recognizing the limitations of accumulator-based betting, particularly margin compounding and variance.

For some users, odds-scanning software like Breaking Bet can serve as an introductory tool for understanding how price discrepancies appear across bookmakers.

Live arbitrage scanner speed test

Below you can see a video of a scanning/odds refresh rate test I made with this software. For the purpose of testing, I used a football match corner market at Marathonbet.

The odds changed from 1.87 to 1.82 at the start of the video, and it took around 24 seconds for BreakingBet to notice this change and display it to the end user.

Although the in-play refresh rate is slower than premium scanners, the delay remains consistent with the platform’s pricing tier and bookmaker coverage.

• BreakingBet is a budget software, significantly cheaper than its competitors
• The majority of sure bet finders do not have in-play scanners
• Even with this delay, I was able to spot many betting opportunities before they disappeared
• The scanning speed/odds refresh rate changes from one bookie to another. In the testing phase, I noticed opportunities where BreakingBet updated the odds in ~15 seconds

How to use their software?

The platform is designed to surface pricing discrepancies using probability-based comparisons rather than outcome prediction. If you are reading this review, you probably know at least the basics of arbitrage and value betting.

Both of these strategies are based on:

• Bookmakers offering wrong odds
• Focusing on odds that appear mispriced relative to broader markets is a commonly discussed approach, though outcomes still depend on execution quality, market movement, and bookmaker policies.

The tool supports both hedged and non-hedged execution models through separate scanning and filtering workflows.

1. Taking no risks and lower profits with strategies like arbitrage betting

This was one of the most popular ones.

Finding odds that are overpriced and covering the other outcome at another bookmaker is the simplest and yet most profitable technique.

2. Taking risks by facing variances, like with value betting

Value betting is typically associated with higher variance, as outcomes are not hedged and depend on long-term statistical assumptions.

Consistently targeting odds perceived as inefficient is a core principle behind several betting methodologies, though it does not remove execution or market risk.

If you are familiar with other scanner services, you won’t have difficulties with their user interface.

Even for beginners, the layout of the page is very friendly.

Every setting is easy to access, and they are organized in a logical way.

If you face any issues, I’m sure the customer service will solve your problems in a short time.

Pre-match arbitrage scanner

The main focus of BreakingBet as a service is their pre-match betting sure bet finder.

Based on my testing, the majority of displayed odds aligned with bookmaker listings at the time of verification, although discrepancies can still occur.

This coverage level is comparable to other mid-range scanners operating within a similar bookmaker scope.

Most services are scanning too many markets and bookies.

This is making their service more vulnerable to major scanning issues.

Manual verification remains advisable, as no scanner can fully eliminate timing discrepancies across all bookmakers.

Periodically, you should check them at every bookmaker you use.

At present, there is no scanner service without at least a few minor issues.

If you are accessing your profile, under the settings, you can make adjustments and filters for your strategy.

They are scanning 12 sports only.

This could seem a low amount, but based on my experience, it is more than enough.

I have been using similar services since back in 2013. I noticed you can find arbitrage and value betting opportunities in almost every sport.

But I was surprised when I saw the setting you can see above.

With other services, I never noticed an option to show arbs only during breaks.

Sports like tennis, table tennis, or basketball are very fast.

If you don’t have enough experience, it’s a good idea to avoid live arbitrage betting on them.

Or at least you should wait for longer breaks.

For example, breaks after impaired game numbers in tennis are way longer

But do you need a scanner to cover all of them?

I don’t know every bookmaker. I haven’t used all of them.

But believe me when I say this: being a smart bettor on minor and not-so-popular sports is a dangerous game.

Most of the bookmakers will limit you in a very short time if you start winning on events that are not mainstream.

Also, you will find lower maximum stake limits from the start.

On the print screen below you can see that Breaking Bet has the most essential and useful markets and settings.

Their Pre-match arbitrage scanner is based on simplicity and professionalism.

Bookmakers scanned

At the moment, they are scanning 49 bookmakers + many of their clones, focusing mainly on the European and African bookies.

The betting sites they cover will satisfy the needs of each beginner bettor.

And probably many advanced-level bettors as well, because of covering even some local bookies.

But if you take a look at the picture, you will notice many bookies that are used in some regions only.

Some of these bookies are popular in Nigeria for example.

Coverage of several region-specific bookmakers may make the platform relevant for users in select African markets such as Nigeria.

Adding new bookies and supporting new customers with a high-quality scanning service will always help the growth of the service.

Price

Their main advantage over the competitors might be the friendly subscription price for their services.

1. 7 days: 7.99€ (15.99€ for live)
2. 30 days: 24.99€ (49.99€ for live)

Live arbitrage scanner at BreakingBet

Live arbitrage betting is often discussed as a way to diversify execution timing, although stake limits, delays, and execution risk still apply.

Based on my experience, their service is scanning the bookies on quite an accurate level.

In-play arbitrage scanning is causing the most issues for services and bettors, too.

The odds are moving so fast that spotting a real arbitrage opportunity that won’t drop in seconds is hard.

In fact, sports like tennis or basketball, you will see many sure bets.

But in most cases, finding the ones with a decent return and low risk for dropping odds is not easy.

Breaking Bet is showing a decent amount of arbitrage opportunities.

When using their service, I was a little surprised.

With the bookies in my filters, I cannot find any fake arbs.

I call fake arbs those on smart markets like tennis sets/points where the odds are already dropped.

I cannot check every bookmaker and market, but the general experience was the following:

• Decent scanning speed compared to their pricing tag
• The odds were accurate
• Not too much

Value betting at Breaking Bet

Value-based approaches are commonly used by bettors seeking longer-term exposure without hedging, though outcomes depend on execution discipline and market behavior.

If you are planning to avoid being limited by bookmakers, you should start getting experience with this technique with the most affordable value betting software.

Bookmakers scanned

The bookies scanned for pre-match will be available in the positive EV betting section too.

Arbitrage calculator

Their calculator is integrated into every arbitrage and value bet opportunity.

By clicking on the calculator, the odds will be introduced automatically.

This will help you save time because you don’t have to make calculations.

Conclusion

Breaking Bet targets users seeking a lower-cost odds-scanning tool with moderate market coverage and simplified workflows. Many bettors are not using too many bookmakers.

If your strategy is based around 2-3-4 bookmakers, paying 100 – 200 euros for a monthly subscription is very expensive.

I was in that situation. Every time I paid that amount for only a handful of bookies felt like a waste of money.

If this service covers the bookmakers relevant to your workflow, it may be worth evaluating through its available plans.

Their pricing structure is positioned at the lower end of the market, which may appeal to users exploring odds-scanning tools for the first time.
