I have been looking at Sports Arbitrage Betting and I would like some thoughts from those who have been there.
I have had several trials and beta versions of arb services so I know that in theory it can work.
I want to know the traps.

I will make a start with what I think may be some

1. Books imposing limits
2. Books having'wrong' lines
3. Sportsbook fraud
4. Line movement
5. Inadequate bankroll
6. Mistakes in betting

Please let me know your experiences.

Some more "problems" :-)

* Computer break down
* Credit card fees when moving money around from bookies
* time consuming
* very small profits most of the times

But it can be done and some people are doing it with success. However it's not so easy as it looks like.

Instead of this, consider Football Trading which is far more profitable. You do not even need 2 accts for this. Just one account at Betfair is OK.

Yep I agree. Betfair is the way to go. You don't have to worry about bookmakers and you can trade any sport and have a win no matter the result of the game if you do it properly. I know because I do it for a living. It's worth looking into.

Explain!
I'm just trying to give advice. If it helps punters get an edge in my book it's a good thing. If you have any interest in what I'm trying to say go to You tube and have a look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlfVHBPUaEE
I'm getting nothing out of giving this advice. If you don't like it don't do it. It's the easiest Arb betting you can do. Great thing is it's not a book maker you dealing with. Just other punters around the world.

Hugh,

Maybe it was layneb who was spamming and a mod changed his post.

I looked at your post and I don't think it is spam.

I looked at your video on Youtube, but honestly I couldn't gleen anything about your system. I'd like to know more, so please send me details.

You won't be able to send me a PM, because you haven't posted enough yet and I won't be able to send you one. If you could set up Skype you could send me a message. My ID is geordiebloke1. http://www.skype.com is where you can download it.

Regards,

B

I do not intend to humor you (using your words). Instead I advice you to use Google.com.

Sports Arbitrage is a waste of time. Paying for sports handicapping services is also waste of money. They always lose. Only way to win is by betting against these services. I started using a guys picks with a recommendation from a friend of mine and he is good. Well he does not really make his picks but he knows when to follow and fade sports services at the "right" time. I have beenwith him for 2 months and have made good profit. You can see his results since last year at www.toutbuster.com records page.
