3rd world countries arbing!

Sat Dec 30, 2023 4:07 pm

Hello arbers,

I'm still gaining experience with arbitrage betting but I want to set realistic expectations when it comes to this investment.
Since I'm from north of Africa I'm not gonna be too greedy when it comes of my profit ambitions(maybe just a little ;D ) , but I need to know
**** with a bankroll of 1000$-2000$ invested and with a non too aggressive but disciplined arbing behaviour for account longevity, will I be able to generate 20,000$ in the end of this year with only regular arbitrage betting? ****

Hello,

You described the initial conditions - starting funds around 2 000 and aiming to gain ten times the initial funds within one year from now on. Let's say around 1 000 percent profit for 365 days.
Because of the mention of terms like investment and discipline in your posting, I will give you some indirect ideas to be considered:
- How many sustainable businesses have a profit norm of 1 000 percent annually? If that is already sustainable, how exactly do they cover the risk?
- What is the risk factor in this rate of return?
- Avoid at all cost worldwide well-advertised agencies, ending in ...Xbet and their multiple clones under various names.
- How exactly do you handle the possible drawdowns beyond those, described by the standard deviations?
- And so on.

Wish you good luck.

Has arbitrage betting really died? If that so why alot in the forum are doing it and posting about it? I find it quite strange that it's still quite popular.

Hi,

Thank you so much for the reply!
Well basically I'll have to expect less turnover? Even if I put it let's say the needed time arbing 5-6 days/week(being Infront of the computer when healthy opportunities arrive)(placing 5-7 bets almost daily with 3-4% profit) , which on the sheets could generate +15k.
As arbitrage betting has a no risk small gains unlike VB what deviations should I expect? other than refused withdrawals which I put in regard that's why I'll be sticking to the big firms long term despite limitations "one way or another", I can't see another variable which should be taken seriously, if you can help me with some other aspects I'll hugely appreciate it.

Your questions are very general and can not be answered unless you provide more details.
For example...
1. What is the list of bookmakers available to your country?
2. Do you have Betfair or any other experience at your disposal uninterruptedly?
3. Do you have e-wallets or banks willing to facilitate your business in your country?
4. What is the behaviour of these bookmakers and exchanges towards bettors from you country?
5. How about taxation?
6. What is your level of experience? Are you completely newbie?

Now to address some of your statements, I would say that these days it doesn't worth it starting with arbitrage. It pays more to start with Value Betting, and especially live value betting. Bots could facilitate your business if certain conditions are met. Lastly, even if you are a highly experienced smart bettor, it seems to me like a Herculean task to generate 20K with an initial bankroll of 1-2K. I am not saying it can't be done, all I am saying is that it is very difficult.

Go on if you have more questions, and of course best of luck and welcome to our forum.

@ Titou Sauber,

Here I'm not mentioning the turnover at all, the more the turnover (triggered by positive math expectations), the more the profits in the long run (VB, trading and other techniques).

In my previous posting, I just kept in mind the extremely risky nature of the old arbitrage manner these days. Never been an "absolutely no risk" the arbing thing.
I'm not referring to the normal trading activity drawdown. Your funds might witness a drawdown in the "riskless" arbing through voiding winning outcomes "due to abnormal activities", stealing your funds by worldwide famous (pseudo)"agencies" and their alter egos (of course, when you lift your winnings) and many more magical tricks. Users know those "agencies" due to their sponsorship of the most well-known soccer teams and the perfect pitfall is smiling at you :) The crying shame of the highest visible level (in front of the curtains) are the so-called regulatory bodies, they cannot return your stolen funds nor give you adequate arguments for their imitation of activities. Curaçao?
What would Diogenes of Sinope tell them all - sponsors, sponsored teams and regulators, luring the market users?

Take a lot of time, read in-depth and further re-read www.arbusers.com, some quality discussions and opinions on that wonderful Forum are like Antoine De Saint-Exupéry's literature - every time you re-read it, you'll discover new things behind the symbols and "hidden" Knowledge. In my opinion, value market positions / trading are much better, who knows?

And again, what exactly kinds of businesses gain 1 000 percent annually, and how exactly do they cover the risk?

The purpose of this post is not to discourage you, but to look at some risks that are happening to the rookies in modern times and to re-think about the alternatives.

Hey admin,
Very happy to get such a helpful detailed value response, for the details:
1- I have already checked the bookmakers available in my country which are alot but I'm only aiming to do business with a some of them:
Softs: bet365,Betway,SBOBET,Parimatch,1xbet(not too much funds in this one). //// Sharps: Pinnacle, BetInAsia, Asianconnect. //// Exchanges: I have no idea still but orbit sounds good as I have no access to Betfair.
2- I have no experience using Betfair or any exchange, as I used mostly sharp bookies in my trial.
3- yes I have the banks and financing part figured out, got in touch with the customer support about gambling activities and everything and I have an E-wallet already used arbing in some bookies.
4- I'm not well informed about how bookmakers exactly act cuz there's basically no experience in my country regarding arbing online, but from my own experience(I tried learning to arb for a month) I can say that no soft bookie from the 4 i used limited me except one.
5-no taxation for gambling in my country.
6-Im not totally newbie as I read a lot everyday about arbitrage betting and VB, and tried arbing with a non consistent arbing behaviour with relatively smaller budget than I mentioned above, and I made about 50% bankroll profit in a month(but I know that starting with a bankroll of 300$ is not the same as starting with a bankroll of 1000-2000$ as the latter will face more supervision and more restriction).

I think that's pretty much the details I could think about trying to answer your on point questions, thank you very much for your time admin.
Waiting for your valuable response

OK, here are my comments:

1. I believe you should have a closer look at your list. Already some of the bookmakers you referred have a terrible record and the odds that you get paid from them are not in your favour. If there are more bookmakers at your disposal dont be quick to discard them. Some times diamonds can be found in the garbages.
2. If you decide to go for arbing, then Betfair will be a must and you should start getting familiarised with it. If you decide to go for Value Betting, then I m sure you can live better off with out Betfair.
3. Great. If you think the answers that you received from them are solid, then you can consider your self lucky.
4. This is going to be a trial and error process. Search in our forum and you might find the experience of our members with certain bookmakers. The draw relevant conclusions for your country.
5. Then you are lucky indeed.
6. Start slow and scale up during the learning process.

From your answers, and especially the #1 answer I understand that not all conditions are met for your task to make 20k per annum. Be careful, go step by step, ask exact questions, and move forward.

Listen. You are in the beginning of a journey. There is no guarantee this journey will be a pleasant one and your destination will be rich. And if you find it poor, It won’t have fooled you. Wise as you will have become, so full of experience, you’ll have understood by then what this Journey mean.
But, let's hope you will not find it poor.

Thank you very much admin, you gave a realist but yet not demoralising analysis I really appreciate it.

And for the bookies i mentioned I'm aware that 1xbet is a disaster and Parimatch is not reliable while Bet365 and Betway are to a certain degree and amount reliable to get your money back.
But I'm indecisive about SBOBET as it was a very good sharp bookie in the past now it looks like it got soft and has degraded, is there any updated advice about SBOBET you can give me admin?

Thank you very much for your amazing response, may God bless you.

I've been playing at casinos for a long time now. Throughout this time, I've tried playing at over 15 different casinos, including the ones you listed above. Each of them has its own pros and cons. In my opinion, 1xbet is not the worst casino out there.
Yes, I've encountered difficulties with them as well, but they always resolved issues and provided assistance. The functionality, options, and their odds align well with my gaming strategies for now.

Yes I play at an online casino. But sometimes I also visit a real casino. I enjoy playing live with a dealer from time to time.
