Live Surebets: A Scanner That Keeps Up with the Odds
In live, 39% of surebets vanish within two seconds, seven in ten within ten. Dozor updates prices within 0.1 s and sends surebets to your browser and Telegram.
A live surebet appears when one book has already reacted to something in the match and the other hasn't yet. It lives as long as the second book needs to catch up. According to Dozor data for September 6, 2026, that's two seconds in half of cases. That's why in live it's not ROI that decides but latency: the gap between the bookmaker updating its line and the row appearing on your screen.
How long a live surebet lives
| Lifetime | Share |
|---|---|
| under 2 seconds | 39% |
| 2–10 seconds | 31% |
| 10–30 seconds | 17% |
| 30–60 seconds | 8% |
| over a minute | 5% |
A scanner that updates every 3 seconds mostly shows surebets that are already gone. A scanner with 0.1-second latency shows them in the first moments, while both prices are still up. The full measurement is in the article “How Long Does a Surebet Last? Data from 10,000 Surebets”.
How live works in Dozor
- Simultaneous reading. All books are polled in a single cycle, so the age of every price is known and shown in the card. A surebet made of two fresh prices and one where a price is 12 seconds stale look different.
- Updates within 0.1 seconds. The price stream reaches your browser over a live connection, without reloading the page.
- Notifications. Browser and Telegram. Surebets that last longer than a minute arrive at any time of day, so you don't have to keep the screen open.
- Filters. Minimum ROI, bookmaker set, games, exchange order book depth, so you aren't distracted by what you don't bet on.
- Stake automation. The bankroll split across legs is calculated in the card; nothing needs recalculating by hand.
What to expect from live
Most live surebets are one book lagging, and the lag closes. You need to bet fast and with stakes ready, and a high ROI (above 10%) more often means a line error, and a bet on it may be voided. Markets where live surebets live longer: total kills in Dota 2 and LoL (a median of 16 seconds) and pairs with prediction markets (Polymarket reacts more slowly than traditional bookmakers, a median of 4 seconds).
Frequently asked questions
Why did the surebet disappear while I was opening the second book?
Because its median lifetime is two seconds. Stakes pre-calculated in the card and bookmaker tabs opened in advance help.
What is price age?
The time since the book last updated that price. The older one of the legs is, the more likely the surebet is already gone. See the term in the glossary.
Is there prematch?
Yes, both modes are on one screen. For the calmer mode, see the Prematch surebets page.
