Where does the information come from?
The service uses The Odds API as an external data source. The current integration retrieves match-winner markets, including three-way markets where available, from the provider’s European selection.
Active leagues and available operators depend on the provider’s coverage and the information available at retrieval. A European data category does not verify Swedish licensing or an individual account’s eligibility.
Timestamps and old observations
The retrieval time and the source’s latest update are different timestamps. ArbiScan uses time information to distinguish recent data from older observations.
Match cards have no ten-minute limit while the latest calculation yields a profit and the match has not started. The next successful scan replaces the odds and recalculates stakes and profit. Cards that no longer yield a profit or are missing from the fetched market are removed. On an API failure, the latest calculation remains with a warning. Odds age uses the oldest selected source timestamp and does not reset when the same data is read again. Odds are marked as older after two minutes. Always check current odds with the bookmakers.
How is the data updated?
Data collection runs centrally. When automatic operation is enabled, settings, visitor activity, available API credits and any errors or delays govern updates.
The page should therefore not be described as a guaranteed real-time stream. Paused operation, inactivity or source problems may leave no current observations. An empty selection also does not establish that there are no price differences across the whole market.
What does a calculated net result mean?
The calculation uses the displayed odds, amounts and assumptions. A configured estimated fee is included in the calculation. An estimate may differ from the actual fee.
A calculated net result is not a confirmed profit, an account balance or a promise of returns. Currency costs, changed prices, different rules and rejected amounts can produce a different actual result.
What the service does not verify
- That an operator has approved an account or a specific stake.
- That all markets use identical settlement rules.
- That money can be withdrawn at a particular time.
- That a provider’s observation is error-free or still available.
- That a historical or calculated result will be repeated.
Methodology and corrections
This description reflects ArbiScan’s functions at the article’s update date. The data provider’s current documentation describes its own interfaces and available markets.
Contact ArbiScan if you find an error in the description or data. Identify the observation and when it appeared where possible; do not send passwords or payment details.
