Arbs over 3-5% - take or not?

Wed Jul 29, 2015 2:09 pm

I read loads of posts saying that arbs over 3-5% = high risk that bookie will palp. I was arbing a bit with Unibet and Betsson and they are extreme slow with adjusting odds, they never palp and I managed to take arbs of 7-30% (basically on daily basis). But I also read that bookies try to catch arbers who will follow extreme wrong odds setting wrong odds intentionally. I havent got much experience with arbing so I'm confused: take arbs over 3-5% or pass, dont even touch it?

Depends on the market and how long you want to keep the bookmaker account,but usually take 3-5% arbs :D. Don't take 30% arbs

As arberpro said depends from market and many other factors i 'd  say ...
First of all depends from the bookie!
May i ask from which country you are arbing and what was your initial limits with betsson ?

I arb from Poland. I don't remember what was my initial limit, it was months ago, I didn't know about arbing that time. But they let me have 200-300 pounds (I haven't even tried higher because of my bankroll) each market and I was pretty happy of this amount.

You must compare the odds to the other odds with different bookmakers to identify potential "obvious mistake".

You should be happy with every bankroll with these kind of amounts if we are talking about betsson

Arbs that you shouldn't take.
If they stay longer, bookies have more time to realize their mistake and your abuse
