Disagree, Sharp. A scalp is a scalp, if it helps my rollover without risk involved its helpful.
Just wish there were more out there not involving MB.

I am sure everyone appreciates your contribution Todd I was only suggesting that you keep it to bigger arb plays so that the thread does not get clustered up with the thousands of arbs that pop up a day. Its not too helpful to post up a $150 arb bet at an exchange that is going to get gobbled up before you even post it.

From my experience - and I do have a website dedicated to this so I would say my experience is pretty vast - one of the most profitable parts of scalping/arbing is clearing bonuses/freeplay roll overs. I have a guy on my site who had less than $4000 spread out over about 8 accounts - and made more money by blowing out an account and redepositing and getting 50% bonuses than he did on the arbs over the course of last year.
Personally, I would never spilt up a 3% arb - and try to play it on one side.
Not everyone is a big time player - so to many that $150 arbitrary # you threw out there might be worth it.

Not when that $150 arb play is such a small amount that it gets gobbled up immediately that is kind of the equivalent to following a line service thats on a 10 minute delay, 98% of the time you log into the website that line is gone.
I think you have done a great job illustrating just how many arb opportunities can be found.
I just think this thread should be more about opportunities like Zeta pointed out the other night where a book is hanging a 10 point NBA dog when the rest of the market has moved to a flat 9.
But please this was just my opinion if others want to see every single arb you play even if they are no longer available than continue
I just figured that the good plays may end up getting buried by a bunch of plays that no longer exist.

todd, your friend sounds like a fukkin pro. i need to be in contact with you and your friend. todd, i am funded nicely at 9 books and have gotten decent sign up and reload bonuses at each of them.
He is far from a pro! Just a guy that realized he was an awful gambler. Was making about $10-$20 a night putting in small arb bets. And then making a few hundred dollars a few times a month reloading one book or another. Its some serious grinding. But when you can find those ML arbs - You can increase your chances of winning at the site with the odds for the favorite - and maybe zero your account at the underdog.
His goal was to end up with his money at Matchbook.
Id post some contact info for myself. But Ill prob get stopped from posting then. I gave my website info to two guys who traded on matchbook and they limtied my PMs. So not sure how youd get in touch with me.
has anyone purchased this from someone......i was sent an email a couple days ago....about the arbitrage.....never heard it in that term before......it was 150 for initial start up and then 19.95 for tevery month thereafter......i thought about buying it it...glad i saw this thread first...
