arb scalp at 5Dimes

[TakeIt]

5Dimes has the lakers -170 to win the whole shebang and bost +235, so...

you can bet 100 on the lakers @ -170 and 47.41 on boston and profit $11.41 no matter which team wins.

however, if either phoenix or orlando win....

laker ml and suns -2.5 is also an arb, however if suns wins by 1 or 2, i can go on and on...

I thought arbing, by definition, can be a no lose situation, no? That is not considering trying to predict the market and find a potential arb oppurtunity which can backfire.

Here, you are putting up 217.41 to win 11.41, -1905. I think you can find better value.

actually, you're putting up 141 to win 11.41. it's 100 @ -170, not 170 @ -170.
