        Hmmm, I have a friend from United States, he was arbing so it means it's possible. Low juice books would be nice but it's not so mandatory. Slow-moving book is much more important. Even if you have a trustworthy local, you can arb.
        Should be hard though since Pinnacle is not available. (Maybe if you can find via some broker/agent)

        Arbitrage business still profitable in Europe. Profits decreased little bit when compared to previous years though but still good. Ways changed little bit, Most arbers dropped pregame arbing and switched to live arbing.

                    The days of the 20-40 cent deltas are long gone. Every shop is a cookie cutter / all the same.

                                    Sawyer still arbing?

                                    Only sport worthwhile is MLB. Take dog ML and fave RL at +220 (min) odds. Same book. Then hold onto your butt.

                                                  The edge is too small and the scalp is too small these countries. People in first world country with high cost of living don't arb anymore. arbing is for people in 3rd/2n world countries with low cost of living.....you can arb few games make $25 profit and live with that for a week or more.

                                                  But anyways, I have seen threads like this in many forums before...almost everyone one who starts a thread like this is trying to peddle something. i wouldn't be surprised if you slot in some service after few replies.

                                                    Would like to see spread shops in USA. Great for trading and also good way to test yourself as a gambler

                                                      Nobody that makes money in sports betting is going to tell other people how they do it. Every piece of magic needs to be self taught. They all take money for a stake. Small Money up front can only make small money.

People in first world country with high cost of living don't arb anymore. arbing is for people in 3rd/2n world countries with low cost of living.....you can arb few games make $25 profit and live with that for a week or more.
                                                                  But anyways, I have seen threads like this in many forums before...almost everyone one who starts a thread like this is trying to peddle something. i wouldn't be surprised if you slot in some service after few replies.
                                                                  I'm afraid you're wrong about it. I know many arbers who live in major countries. I don't think you know much about arbing. What service? Arbers arb for themselves, they're not interested in services or other things. I posted just to know if there's other arbers here too. In America, it's not popular as I see, probably because it's not easy to move the money and IRS. Arbitrage business becoming challenging in Europe day by day because of taxes. Betfair withdrawn from maaaany countries.

                                                                  I like specially middles. You can get massive profit when you win both bets. Today many arbs/middles appeared on Cleveland-Phoenix Game Over/Under.

It can come down to it matters where you win-the player just has to know how much they can win and still collect! If a player can lose where they want to lose and win where they want to win in case they need a withdrawal-the world would be their oyster. But, if the player was that good - he would not need to Arb in the first place?
