If Bets are offers where if a certain event happens, then you will receive cashback or a bonus back. The best way to profit from these offers is to back and lay an event covered by the offer, and hope the 'if' happens! To help with if bets you need a list of daily bookmaker offers and some knowledge of how to profit from if bets as there are lots of different varieties out there.
Dutching is a way of placing bets across a market, or using multiple accounts where there are different odds, to cover an entire market and lock in a profit. It can also be used as a way of clearing wagering requirements and unlocking bonuses. A powerful tool in the advantage play arsenal. It's probably worth starting at Wikipedia/Dutching and then going to The Gambling Times guide to Dutching.
Arbitrage is where you can place a bet somewhere at one set of odds, and lay it off somewhere else at lower odds. Regardless of the result of the event, you will profit (providing you've done your sums correctly!). Caution should be applied when 'arbing' as it's a quick route to your accounts being closed. So short term profit could be the route to long term loss of what could've been a more profitable account.
You can learn a lot more about the history of Arbitrage (and Sharbing for that matter) or Wikipedia.

Sharbing is another form of arbitrage betting. Basically an almalgimation of 'shop' and 'arbing'. It works on the principal that shop prices are slower to move than those online because of the different market and the prep printed coupons. You can take advantage of this by backing in shop, and laying online for a profit. To assist with this process you can get shop coupons sent directly to your inbox every week.
Before you get involved, it might be wise to read up on the Pros and Cons of Sharbing. Literally years of experience and knowledge. No shame in standing on the shoulders of giants.
