Have a great 2015 all of you fellow arbers.
I also believe  2015 will be even worse for those who make arbs in Portugal. Not only by the new legislation, but for what is happening now, soft books are leaving, such as tipico, ladbrokes, mybet, etc

Unfortunately from now on will be very bad for those who make arbs in Portugal, I included.
But let's not lose hope, there are always a way ;)
Abraço!
Stay focused and never give up!

It's just the same for me, so far. I think it's too early to tell though since it's just a few days. We'll see.

By the way, something I noticed interesting about 2014. Sharp book side (pinny, betfair and asians) balance ended up (slightly) positive! Previous year, sharp book side was -260k. So I can say 2014 was a very balanced year.

last year for me even sharp against soft for first 9 months, last 3 months big losses on the soft side, very good
for longevity of accounts, maybe the softs are getting smarter? definitely the average arb percentage has declined,
which of course means more likelihood of winning on the sharp side, who wants to value bet now?
