    Does anybody know how the volume of money bet before these games compares to the money bet while the game is live?

    Live betting is a very volatile market which is very available to USA players.

    This would be arbitrage by definition.......

    Yes, live betting is arbitrage.....

    Whoever says different does not understand "Arbing"........

    Clippers game perfect example...Pregame bet clippers +105, live bet Min +160. Only problem is betting limits.

    No, still it applies. Still losing in Pinnacle and winning in other bookmakers. I even make some of my action in form of value bet. In these bets, I don't hedge the arb or I arb some part of the risk.

    Even then to make any money you had to go 500 a pop. Constantly beating the donkey side and needing to bank. Big difference in beating a donkey and beating somebody that moved on action. There are books that want players to take some buy back when they want it. The books that irritate me are trying to beat 100% of the players and when the action splits and some players win and want to cash out they get pissed because they have to pay anybody. That is my definition of the entertainment book which is similar to Hotel California - you can check out but you can never leave!

    But in this example u still have to have a side ( clippers) take a lead. True Scalping and arbing the only risk is getting ur money.

    Bookmaker has like $200 limits during live action, but you can get down upwards to $3000 during commercial breaks.

    I'll only bet during commercial breaks. My cable set up is so slow, I'm usually 30 seconds behind the action.

    I'm confused why some people are saying this is over. I was just turned onto Ganchrows post at this site by a co-worker who claims he arbs (sent me here to learn) and he paid off his student loans, house, and car. His bro is up $50,000 since August '16. The only reason he's working with me is supposedly because he took a very big hit when Germany dominated Brazil in the world cup. Of course this is only his word, but other employees are witnesses to his winnings. They often bet alongside him to win. I know there must be some strategy to it. Is he a suggested scam? Everyone here bets staight line using EV and EG or what? I'm so confused now.

    Only sport worthwhile is MLB. Take dog ML and fave RL at +220 (min) odds. Same book. Then hold onto your butt.
    Hey man, that is a Polish middle. I am not ready to call that an arb or a scalp. It does work sometimes but takes handicapping on when to try it.

    Odds of co-worker's brother being a net positive lifetime sports bettor: +500000. A lot of people "witnessed" Phil Mickelson and Charles Barkley winning big. With rare exception, the ones actually winning are not the ones showing off about it.

    JJ i can make $300-1000 some days but i have alot more outs in canada.

    Its still hard to find good arbs within the bigger markets that have higher limits.

    Days of little to no work 20-40% Arbs are long gone.. its almost a full time job sclaping 2-5cent arbs

    Are all these live arbs people are referring to done at different times or made simultaneously? If you're opening and closing arbs at different times and after scoring or other events you aren't arbing, you're gambling with double the juice. You're basically putting a chip on the pass line and another chip on the don't pass line so you can get free drinks and praying the 12 never shows on the come out roll.

    I'd say:

    * Arb-betting? No. Everybody's lines are too tight. #s move quickly. No edge.

    * In-game betting? Possible. But my experience is that these lines have too much juice. House trying to protect themselves.

    Follow-up to Dlow's comment:

    * He's correct. Hedging is not the same as arbing. Some people don't get this.

    Hedging a halftime bet vs a Full-game bet, b/c you're in good postion? So what? Do u have an edge on the NEW line? If not, don't fire.

    This is a concept people have to comprehend. Don't piss away your equity positions.

    Mike - help me explain to JJ that if you tie up 30k a day and profit 300 bucks a day - that is over a 100k profit in a years time.

    if you wanna sit at the computer 16 hours a day to make a maybe $100-200 its worth it.

    But the times are changing, its hard to get any decent volume down even here in canada.

    i would disagree to the extent that someone could play at off-market books, or has decent limits on props/small market stuff ... but that comes to an end at some point

    and in that case it's better to just play the side with value than arb it anyway

    Agreed. Can do it for a while for small-limits. But most books just move on air now. I'm just not sure what books you'd middle against.

    For a little $...sure. Just can't see it lasting.
