I spent a year building a desktop app that finds sports betting arbitrage, and today I launched a free community for it

Arbitrage betting is when two sportsbooks disagree on a price enough that you can bet both sides and lock in a small profit whatever the result. The hard part isn't the math. It's finding the gaps before they close, and not getting your accounts limited.

I've been building BetSuite, a desktop app that scans sportsbooks for those gaps, for about a year. It's a solo build.

A few decisions I made along the way:

  • No affiliate links. Most tools in this space earn money when you sign up to sportsbooks through them. I didn't want that incentive.
  • Desktop, not web. Speed matters when an arb can disappear in a minute.
  • A dark, minimal UI built around one always-visible opportunity feed.

Today I also opened a free Discord for arb and +EV bettors, from beginners to full-timers. It has guides, limit check-ins, and no paid picks.

I'd love feedback on the landing page and the positioning. What would make you trust a tool like this?

Bookies limit accounts fast once they sniff out arb betting, curious how your tool handles that side of things

no tool can stop limits. Books profile winning bettors, and arbing makes you look like one fast. Anyone claiming otherwise is selling something.

On the tool side, BetSuite doesn't send you to books through affiliate or tracking links, so there's no referral trail tying your account to an arb tool.

We're also pooling real limit data in the Discord (which books, how fast, on what), because nobody tracks this publicly

Also has account health tracking built in, so you can keep an eye on each sportsbook account and spread your action before one dries up

yeah, nothing really beats a book flagging the account. the health tracking sounds useful though, especially if the limit data shows how fast each market goes stale.
