Huffton Posted 6 December, 2008 Share Posted 6 December, 2008 Can't say that I have, however I have been using a betting service for a couple of years now with real success. PM me if you want details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Super Saint Posted 6 December, 2008 Share Posted 6 December, 2008 Pirate's chest muscles? when I eventually got it. Same here. I had to say it out loud to properly get it. Perhaps if he'd have said 'Pirate's stomach muscles'.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwaySaint1 Posted 6 December, 2008 Share Posted 6 December, 2008 Arbs are dead! I made a lot of money with Arbs and Casino promo's over the last 5 years,but have not bothered since 2007. The money has moved on since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexpro7 Posted 7 December, 2008 Share Posted 7 December, 2008 Best way to explain it is to give an example. Say Bookie A was offering a price of 6/4 on Andy Murray to beat Roger Federer and you then found that Bookie B was offering 6/4 on Roger Federer to win you back both players. Andy Murray £100 win vs Roger Federer at 6/4 gives a return of £250 Roger Federer £100 win vs Andy Murray at 6/4 gives a return of £250 Your liability is £200 (2 x £100 bets) and you are guaranteed to return £250 giving a profit of £50 no matter what the result! Simple eh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple eh! Where do we find bookies offering that sort of range though? And is it limited to bets with only 2 outcomes, as in your example above?

Dicko Posted 7 December, 2008 Share Posted 7 December, 2008 I can assure you that happens very rarely. You're much better predicting which way prices are moving and use this on Betfair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wont otherwise everyone would do it . As it says it is just an example of what an arb is! Not limited to 2 outcomes but gets pretty complicated .

SaintSi Posted 9 December, 2008 Share Posted 9 December, 2008 If you mean matched betting, by using opening account offers such as free bets, and laying them off on betfair making 100% guaranteed profit. this can be very profitable, i used to do it a year ago, but there are only so many offers to take advantage of, and im all dried up now. but there is easily a couple of grand in it. check out http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=325861 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisobee Posted 15 December, 2008 Share Posted 15 December, 2008 If you have the time and inclination to look long enough then the arbs are there but you need to check so many odds it becomes a real chore. Even something like Oddschecker does not really help since most of the opportunities are in such obscure events you will not find the prices on there and one sure bet is that if you do find a less than 100% over round on Oddschecker then it will not be there for very long! Anyway, you need a figure of at least as low as 95% to make it really worthwhile unless you have 1000's to put on and if you can afford that why bother !!

Bet72 is a good site even if Darren who runs it does support Reading! The group is on FB: http://www.facebook.com/s.php?q=Bet72&init=q&sid=e7e50879fe5f280472a5ccf445c8c69e#/group.php?gid=9117661374 The direct link to his webpage is: http://www.bet72.com He'll also give you free advice as to how best to take advantage of the free bets.
