Three-way arbitrage on a soccer match

A soccer match has three outcomes: home win, draw, away win. Shopping across several books, the best available decimal odds are 2.902.90 on home, 3.503.50 on the draw, and 3.103.10 on away.

Is there a riskless profit? If so, how do you split a \1000$ bankroll across the three outcomes, and what is the guaranteed return?

Show a hint

Add the three implied probabilities (1/odds1/\text{odds}). Below 11 means the market, in aggregate, is priced too cheap.

This one is open-ended. Work it through, then check your reasoning against the full solution.
