Sports Arbitrage
Well, I've long been of the opinion that sports arbs are snapped up very quickly and all that is left is not worthwhile after paying commission on Betfair.
However, having manually scoured the markets, it seems that there are many straight arbs available straight away on very popular matches!
After looking into it, I was converted by various sites that these arbs are picked off by bots and one really needed to delve into the murky world of cross market arbs and Asian Handicaps.
Not true!
Perhaps all this is smoke and mirrors to ward off competition?
At 8am this morning in the English Premier league
Man City v Sunderland
Sunderland was $21 to lay on Betfair and $23 to back with a bookie.
Right now the Draw is $10 to lay and $10.50 with a bookie.
When I say lay, there is good money waiting to be matched at those odds already.
Delving into the minor markets there are many many good arbs actually waiting to be matched.
