    same book arb question????

    If a book was offering 2 separate prop bets one at +110 and the other at +145 with a push being the only loss situation, would betting both sides put your on bad terms with the book?

    i'd say it depends on which book, but to be safe, you should arb with at least two books

    if you're just doing it this once and for small amount, there may be no problems though.

    usually have funds in 3 books but only in 1 this minute, wanted to do $500 but do not want to wear my welcome with this book. Will try to deposit with another book but ** sometimes will not allow the transactions online only in person and I am snowed in.

    if there is a risk of a loss (the push) it's not a real arb and if both are current offers I don't see it should be a problem

    yes one side is on an even # the other is on a half so if the even # hits I lose one snide win the other, still running some numbers but I see value

    therefore I do not see the book complaining as long as there is a risk of loss
