Sportsbooks attempt to limit or prevent successful arbitrage betting through various strategies, including monitoring betting patterns, adjusting odds rapidly, and imposing restrictions on accounts. By employing sophisticated algorithms and data analytics, sportsbooks can identify unusual betting behavior, such as large bets on both sides of a game, which may indicate an arbitrage opportunity. When detected, they may promptly adjust their odds to reduce potential arbitrage opportunities or even void certain bets.

Sportsbooks also use account restrictions as a way to limit arbitrage betting. They may place limits on the maximum amount that can be wagered on a particular market or even restrict specific accounts that are deemed to be consistently winning or engaging in arbitrage betting. By doing so, sportsbooks aim to discourage arbitrage bettors from exploiting discrepancies in odds across different bookmakers. Additionally, sportsbooks may collaborate with each other to share information and identify individuals or syndicates involved in arbitrage betting, leading to further restrictions or even banishment from multiple platforms. These measures collectively make it challenging for arbitrage bettors to consistently profit from exploiting differences in odds.

Sportsbooks may make real-time adjustments to their odds in order to counter arbitrage opportunities. They may increase the odds for the opposite outcome or decrease the odds for a specific outcome if they observe that it is being heavily bet on.
