    Hi...New member here..

    Hi, just joined and thought I'd introduce myself.

    I'm from the UK and have been interested in betting/trading for the past 5 years or so and have made a reasonable income from trading the UK Horse Racing markets on BetFair.

    My day job is a software developer which I have done professionally since graduating some 17yrs ago. I have used these skills to develop software to automate all of my trading activities which is great as it allows me to profit from betting/trading small amounts of cash without having to spend all day at the computer.

    Recently, I've become interested in Arbitrage (it was a google search on this subject that ultimately lead me to this forum). I have developed some software to spot the opportunities and place the bets for me. A few family members and close friends are running the software. It is profitable, but the problem is the accounts get restricted (or even closed) pretty sharpish.

    I'd love to speak with anyone who is able to offer any tactics / strategies to reduce the likliehood of being detected as an arbitrage trader.

    Great forum, hope to be able to contribute.

    Cheers

    Welcome to SBR vostro

    I've mirrored your thread in the Sportsbook and Industry forum so hopefully some of the guys in there will be able to give you a few tips.
