Arbitrage Friendly Sportsbooks?

**craftbrewer** · 04-27-20, 03:04 AM

Since you are from the Philippines, don't you have an access to Asian books like maxbet, dafabet, singbet, sbobet, ISN, CMD etc through local agents/brokers?

**Alfa1234** · 04-27-20, 04:51 AM

Of the above ISN now allows arbitrage. All others have a risk of voiding bets and don't like sharp action anymore.

You're out of luck, that's it I'm afraid in terms of bookies. There's Matchbook as an exchange which does not restrict but imposes a premium charge if your account is in too much profit.

if your OK with BTC exclusive Fairlay offers Pinny Odds and does not care

No bookmaker is arbitrage friendly. Pinnacle also.

**DISTROYA** · 04-27-20, 10:56 AM

No reputable book (besides some exchanges that have the sharp lines that you will be losing constantly to) will knowingly allow you the arb/scalp bets. Dont even ask.

I would not take what CS said, or your screenshots of it, to mean anything to their risk management people.

Fairlay does not care...Other books hit them too I have heard. Someone must of saw this and asked in the Troll box:

Anonymous3932: Hello does Fairlay allow arbitrage punters

● Danshan11: of course

● Danshan11: you can arbitrage all day here

[QUOTE=IMightBluff;29412561]Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any arbitrage friendly sportsbooks other than Pinnacle and betting exchanges.

I talked to support if BetFair Sportsbook (not the exchange) allows professional players / arbitrage bettors and they said yes. They also specifically stated that there would not be any restrictions on bet amounts. I can post screenshots if needed from Live Chat.

I talked a number of sportsbooks and most of them said no such as Heritage, BetOnline, Bookmaker, 5Dimes ect.
100 betpoints reward for names of some bookmakers that allow it.
-------------

u can only give 2 points a day total. so dont help too many at once!

why not GO SBR PRO!

Don't waste your money. Make value betting instead. Much more profitable then arbitrage betting. Arbers (including me) are transferring millions of euros every year to asian/sharp books, by losing in sharp side. Every year. Period. I would earn x3 more money if I was making value betting. Therefore, I switched to value betting. I bet (I mean I was..fuk you korona virus) only the value bet in soft bookmaker. No need to cover sharp side, remember you're betting value anyway.

PS: Arbing makes sense only if your bankroll is short since a losing streak can wipe out your bankroll. You may be betting value and you may be guaranteed to win over long haul but remember, you're not prone to losing streaks.

About bookmakers, Betfair and Pinnacle are your best bets. Good luck!

isnt fairlay an exchange Kona?
And you have to wager in BTC yes?

I was just worried like to be marked as winning player or something and having my account closed and funds seized.

Is this a common thing? Or do they just like let u cashout usually and reduce bet amounts

100% Legit. They pay out instant too visit site and ask around in Troll box if you have questions. They have some big players and have Pinny Odds and good limits with zero chance of getting limited and allow ARB too no problem....

I would be careful about these pinnacle-wannabe sites. Once there was a site called Gobetgo. They tried to copy Pinnacle's system and went bankrupt. Even Pinnacle is not the same old Pinnacle. They're still arber-friendly but not so friendly. Limits are ridicilious.

Finding a sharp bookmaker is not a problem. There's plenty around. You must worry about finding soft books.

Fairlay is different since its an exchange style platform...check it out the site and the APP when its on and report what you think

OP, you're getting some excellent feedback here. Sadly this isn't the glory days of 2005 to 2010 when the problem was not having enough $$ to keep up with and take advantage of the multitude of daily arbs...

Seriously man. Even up to 2015 I could find them easily. Not so easy now. Been some good ones on table tennis recently though.

Bookmaker.eu/Cris, BOL will not limit you

That depends on your definition. I can't say that they will reduce your max bet amount because I haven't personally seen that, but they will absolutely take away your ability to parlay.

Edit: I almost forget, they will take away your ability to re-bet also. That is pretty darn close to being "limited", since with re-bet ability, accounts effectively have no limit.

At Bookmaker depends if you make pre match arbing , they dont limit you regarding stakes, but they will cut the ods.

**Alfa1234** · 04-29-20, 06:30 AM

Yes they will, and they'll also close your account if they don't like your action.

**jgarz2** · 04-29-20, 05:34 PM

lol no they won't. BOL will limit you if you give them only prop action but anything pregame major markets, even 1halfs, you wont get limited-trust me

Then please contact them on my behalf and have them reopen my account. My last bets were on the Champions league and NBA full time handicap markets. Thank you.

Which book? send me your info..

Oh, this is interesting. What exactly did they give you as a reason when they closed your account?

**Sawyer** · 04-30-20, 04:08 PM

I miss old times of arbitrage. Books were very slow to react. There wasn't much arbers around those times..

Sports betting (and arbitrage business) getting more challenging every year. Once there were times when books were offering exactly 1/2 of the game total for 1st Half O/U bet, offering same odds for underdog ML and underdog to win 1st Quarter..There were many many golden eggs..

**stevex** · 04-30-20, 06:11 PM

Impossible if you're in the U.S. You're better off bonus hunting. Maybe things will change with the legalization of it in the U.S. but I doubt it.

**gamblehappier** · 05-03-20, 07:34 AM

I will say Pinnacle,but they are not as they used to be 5 years ago.

**DISTROYA** · 05-03-20, 10:13 AM

Another batch of info for original poster since it seems you are a bit of a novice in arb terms; no one is going to tell you which books are arbable or have soft lines; thats work you have to do yourself, because it may endanger their position /affect their lines being changed and standardized if more people catch on to a soft book.
Pinnalce is always are arb friendly because they have the sharp lines and you will lose to them; its finding the nuggets (not many left) on the other side cross betting with soft lines.
You have to keep getting the soft lines without change
they cant ban or limit you
they have to re reputable and keep paying you because youre going to kill them.
these things just arent possible on a mid/grand scale anymore.
You will be flagged right away. Best to go after bonuses IMO as well.

You would need two sportsbooks with a Bitcoin bankroll, Fairlay together with a fiat currency sportsbook doesn't make sense.

I remember one book gave endless repeat $250 bonuses, with decent limits ($5k mlb) to run through the rollover ........ and had opinionated but low-juice lines so you could easily arb. Like a cash machine.

**asiagambler** · 05-08-20, 09:35 AM

Most arbing these days must be done live which has its own set of challenges

So true...Looking back it's hard to believe those days actually happened; And it went on for years. If I didn't make $175 minimum by the time I went to bed, I considered it a bad day...
