Taking Arbitrage one step further.

We covered the basics of arbitrage the other day, today we are going to take it one step further by looking at some more advanced strategies, and looking in to what makes arbitrage not quite as fool-proof that some may think it is.  Remember, the key to any strategy or system is first becoming an expert without putting any cash down, so learn as much as you can about arbitrage and then you’ll be able to make your own calculated choice as to whether or not it is ‘worth’ it.

We’ll start with the risks.  There are a number of risks in using an arbitrage based system, but the most important ones are the following.

Sports book Rules. This is one of the most important risks of the system.  Different books have different rule sets for what happens ‘if’ scenarios.  For example: – what happens if the game is a draw? What happens if the game gets stopped?  You need to ensure you do thorough research with all your books to ensure that you know what will happen.  It may very well be an unavoidable risk, but if you know it is there, and what it is then you can account for it in your money-management system.

Sports book Mistakes - With the advent of online books, this isn’t quite as occurring as it once was.  However, if it does happen chances are they have the right to cancel any bet at any time in order to protect their profits.  So, if you see some odds that are just too good to be true, and you then take them – chances are if it’s a mistake, your bet will be cancelled.  Running a single bet (non arbitrage system) this isn’t a problem, but when you are running two or more bets simultaneously, then you may very well find yourself in trouble.

Procrastination - Make no mistake ladies and gentlemen, this is not a system where you can plan your moves and execute them slowly.  By all means there is plenty of time to plan, but you must be prepared to make the move and act quickly to make sure you don’t miss out on the proper odds or even miss the entire bet.

Human Error – We all make mistakes, and when you are running an arbitrage, you can’t afford to make any mistakes whatsoever.  Make sure you take plenty of breaks and keep refreshed.  Don’t run this system 12 hours a day 7 days a week because you will get tired and make mistakes.  One mistake could kill a day’s worth of winnings, or heaven forbid even a week’s worth.

To keep up and with the system, you need to make sure that you are reading between the lines, understanding the odds, understanding the rules and understanding the bookmakers – as well as understanding yourself and the game.  You need to spend time to learn the basics before you can successfully Arbitrage it is not as straightforward and sure-fire as it seems.  Remember – just one mistake is all it takes to lose a lot of profit, and when you do – the only person you can blame is yourself sadly.  Take the time to get acquainted with all you need to before trying arbitrage.

They are my risks with arbitrage, now how about some solutions ? What do we need to do to eliminate those risks ?

All about Arbitrage

Online sports betting as we all know too well is about placing bets online, and winning.  Sadly for some of us success doesn’t come too easily nor do we interpret our system correctly to give us the success we deserve.

Today we’re going to take a look at a way of betting called Arbitrage.  Arbitrage is all about looking for guaranteed wins but we must admit it is not as easy as it sounds.  Arbitrage may sound like sure-win after we’ve explained it, but it dies carry a significant risk if you don’t take care as you are relying on the bookies not to make mistakes.

So? What is arbitrage?
An arbitrage bet is all about using multiple bookmakers to back the same team.  This gives us a guaranteed profit providing the bet doesn’t get cancelled and the bookmaker doesn’t make a mistake.

What are the drawbacks of online sports arbitrage?

A typical arbitrager will make maybe 4% or 5% at most when they use the arbitrage system, thus to make decent return, one has to invest significant amount of cash to ensure that he is in the winning.  This means you also need a significant start-up capital to learn the ropes and figure everything out.

Let’s look at an arbitrage example bet
we want $100 profit
Football Team1 = 1/5 (1.20)
Football Team 2 = 7/1 (8.00)

($100 / 1.20) + ($100 / 8.00)
    $83.33        +     $12.50        =      $95.83

So in turn – we now know we need to wager $95.83 to make $100 profit as you can see the return on investment is quite low.  But it does allow you guaranteed winnings if you’re lucky!

What do you think about arbitrage?

A question we may all ask ourselves at one point is "do I take it to the next level?" What exactly that means can be a mixture of things, but does anyone who asks that question ever really succeed?

Sports’ betting online is a hobby and a pass-time for many people.  For others, it is a livelihood and a career.  I know many people that fund their life around sports-betting and I have to ask myself, "Do they have what it takes?" a lot of the time; the answer is no.  They constantly run their ‘business’ on very tight margins and for many – they are just addicted and waste great sums of money in chasing their losses.

However, there are a few inspirational individuals that really do have what it takes, and we’re going to take a quick look at them and see why they differ from other typical gamblers / cappers.

Let’s imagine this – we’re halfway through a season.  Our bank is positive and we’re up £200.  What do you do?  Take out the £200 or take out the initial investment?

You’ve just had a losing streak of five losses.  You’re now about to expose 20% of your bankroll in one bet.  Do you place it? Or do you fold?

Your friends a tipster and he just gave you a tip.   What’s the plan do you follow him or follow you?

Do know how much the vig has cost you since you started this season?

Do you have a history of all your online bets, EVER?

Ok, those questions are all pretty basic and perhaps uninteresting.  But read between the lines and they highlight something very real.  Sports’ betting is a business.  Right now it is a business for the books, they are very professional at calculating their take and making sure they get their share from you, and they are also very successful in appealing to your inner demon. If you are an experienced amateur sports-bettor, and you want to evolve to the next level; then you need to be the business. 

Over the next few posts we’ll be talking about taking things to the next level and becoming more professional and controlled in online sports betting.  We’re not going to tell you what to do, but our aim is to have some open debate on the matters that are important in becoming a more successful bettor.
