    here is a good article on this, Johny

    it has a tennis match as an example, but the idea is the same when it comes to betting on a football game

    It's the same as applied to any sport, or really any market.

    with the true sense of the word, it would be taking both sides IF you are able to lock in a guaranteed profit

    so for instance tonight for baseball at one book you got

    La Dodgers +110 and at another book
    San Diego +102

    you could put 100 to win 110 on LAD and 100 to win 102 on the Pads

    thus locking in a small profit


    they arbing hey day is long over though

    you can even use the same book when the line moves...of course it has to be the book that allows you to bet both sides
