    uk shop arbing poor september

    Hey I am new to the forum, just wondering if any one arbs the uk high street shops.
    I have been doing it for 10years but have found that there are very little arbs the last few weeks, this hasn't been becasue the shops are slashing prices I think it because there has been very little movement if the actuall games on the internet ie pinnacle, sbo.

    Any one else found this , I funded both sites the last few months with large amounts of cash to get the Moneybookers 1% cash back but haven't used a penny of it!

    Any thoughts if thing will pick up as it might be because its early in the soccer season?

    Being a shop manager you arbers don't win prices are very competive at the minute while in my shop you can have any price you want we will match it

    First off, Welcome to the SBRforum

    I know BetFair (SBR Rated A) went through some legalities about their business even being legal with the new laws over there so that might have played a part in it.

    Could you restate this? It sounds interesting, but I can't figure out what you are saying. Are you saying you are the manager of a book that will give me any line I want on a game?

    so, tell us, which shop do you manage? hard to take you up on that offer if you don't tell us.

    and jigger, i don't agree. maybe we're looking at different markets though.

    I think juice too high at UK Books to arb

    Only way you can do it is with live betting but that takes lots of time, lots of screens open and lines change to quick to get plays in

    We match any high street bookmaker prices not Internet prices anyway arbing is so time consuming and not really profitable in the log run

    pretty sure some people made a lot of money this way before, but surely must be difficult in recent years.

    I only use shops in the uk I have tried online but all the uk books limit very quicky, I have been looking at the uk matches the last few weeks on the coupons and can't get on any arbs against Pinnacle or Sbo bet etc.

    Why do you only on High Street? Aren't there some other places in town you can go to?
