Higher average margins were recorded by the fourth- and fifth-ranked combinations. 1xBet-Marathonbet generated 791 qualifying surebets with an average profit of 10.29%, the highest average among the top five pairs. 1xBet-Fonbetfollowed with 700 opportunities at 10.26%, showing that high-volume bookmaker combinations were also capable of maintaining double-digit average profit levels. Regional bookmaker participation also remained important. 1xBet-Odibets ranked third overall and generated more than 1,000 qualifying opportunities, making Odibets the only Kenya-focused bookmaker represented among the week's five highest-volume pairs. This continued Odibets' strong presence in Africa-focused arbitrage statistics, although its leading pairing shifted from Marathonbet-Odibets in the previous week to 1xBet-Odibets. Overall, the latest WorkBet statistics show a clear change in Africa's arbitrage betting landscape. While BetCity, Unibet, and Odibets-linked combinations played a major role in the previous reporting period, 1xBet became the central bookmaker across all five leading pairs for August 3–9. The results highlight how quickly the strongest bookmaker combinations can change from week to week and reinforce the importance of tracking both opportunity volume and average profit when evaluating arbitrage pairs.
