Default Re: Arbs

No worries. There are few topics that I am smart enough to contribute on here, but how to arb money risk-free and clear bonuses appeals to my limit ring game grinder's mind. When I first got talked into trying it, I really thought it seemed too good to be true or that it would take hours and hours to find a good play. It turns out to be a lot easier than I thought it would be.

How many books to you guys have accounts with in order to effectively scalp? I'm very intrigued by this, and having just gotten my bonus, I have some money to throw into a few more accounts at various books to make it happen.

I find that Pinnacle (and to a lesser extent Matchbook) are the driving force behind most arbs I find. Most any slow moving or reduced vig book often works for the other side. I haven't been at it long, so the best books may change with the season.

It seems to work best with sports where a move in the basic line is a big deal, so they have to manipulate the odds to balance the action. So hockey and NFL often has arbs, where NBA over/unders seem to rarely have them. For this reason, I suspect baseball is a really good game for scalpers.

I don't understand the entire business model of the various sportsbooks, but Pinnacle clearly goes out of their way to create arbs. They will post a +114 sometimes when they could easily move the line. I assume that they understand what we are doing and are willing to bet against the other books in certain situations.
