Could you provide some more stats, or maybe a table with your value betting? Your filters?
Thank you.

August and September have been pretty bad for me as well, but not terrible.  It'll swing the other way soon.

Yeah, that's how it is. Imagine how many were disappointed and quit everything.
I m trying to figure out which periods are problematic, but each year these periods are shifting. Maybe it has to do with major events like Euros and World cups, maybe not. Late March is also problematic for a reason and maybe that is why March madness bonuses are given at this specific period. I see this drop coming to you very late at April. Still cant explain...I have homework to do.

My opinion is that sometimes we are folowing gamblers with the tone of money who discovers Pinnacle Sbobet Betfair and their money drop the odds!
For example this august,september somebody plays unders on friendly hockey matches on Pinnacle.
From 15 unders he misses 13.Nobody can convice me that he is a sharp player.
Unfortently most of value betters was following him me also!
That can be one of the reason for many losing bets!
There is a story that pinnacle traders are only moving odds when the sharp players place the bets (they know exactly witch account are from sharp players)
But so many times when I placed a bet on pinnacle or sbobet I see how my money change the odds (smaller liquid markets)...and I am not sharp player!
That is why I come to conclusion that we are sometimes following gamblers!

What was the limits on the hockey friendlies? I would be cautious with such matches.. Also it sounds like it is some tipster publishing picks. Variance plays a huge part here. If a tipster with a good record and a lot of followers posts a tip on a small market, then the lines will move. You can't be sure about his edge before he reaches +1000 picks.

Manchester City played Liverpool the other day. Here is Pinnacles betshares:

Asian handicap
Man City (-0.5) 21%
Liverpool (+0.5) 79%

1x2
Man City 27%
Liverpool 48%
Draw 25%

Antal mål (3)
Over 73%
Under 27%

So basically the public was all over Liverpool in this match. Odds were around 2.00 on City but ended in 1.89 = sharps on City at the said odds.

I dont know what was the limits for hockey friendly matches because I am not arbing any more!
It will be helpfull for value bettors if the owners of Betburger put the option in their platform that the paltform shows the limits in Pinnacle and Sbobet.
Something similiar what they have with exchanges.
I would certanly avoid markets that have less than 1000 euro.
I write to them about this option but as I see it they are not interested
Maybe if somebody with more influence (like administrator from arbusres for example) do that....they will listen!

I absolutely accept that value betting is much more profitable than arbing, because you avoid exchange fees which can be 50% or more of the expected value.

But dont always assume that Pinnacle are the right line.

In my 12 years of arbing I am up massively on Pinnacle, easily over £200000.  That tells me that Betfair and "soft books" are not always the ones that are the side with value.
Never trust a goose!!!

Tarzan there are also people here who have posted in the past that they finished the arbing year with a lot of money at Betfair and not at softs.In general,if the limits at pinnacle are high valuebetting is better.In low limits its dangerous as you said because you may follow gamblers.The good point of arbing is the volume instead of valuebeting,as you can bet big amount of your bankroll.Valuebeting may destroy your capital.If you are too sure or have the ability to found  very high valuebets then the best is to bet big volumes even with low capital.The big volume of capital depends from the player and from the overpice of the odd.
