Arbing Gets Harder Everyday..
Books started to limit really fast..even if you parlay your arbs..
Can't see doing this profession forever..not many accounts left..
May have to consider retirement next year..
What about you? How is your situation?

Well they're limiting a hell of a lot faster than they were 5-10 years ago. Exponentially so in some cases. I think that's what he meantbachz wrote: Why are you so sceptic ?..there is no reason for such talks..or ?....i didnt notice that bookies have been limiting accounts faster than last year.
Don't let "Bankroll Growth" mislead you. Of course, you will make more profit with a 50k bankroll then a 10k bankroll. Every year, your business grows. But then you come to a point where you can't use your whole bank..say like 100k.atilla9 wrote: Every year I read same posts. Every year is better than previous.

In today's age, books limit you even if you're losing! Just pick some value odds and you're done. Just 1 year ago, I could arb with a XXX bookie for 2-3 weeks without any limit restrictions. Now, that XXX bookie limits me after 2nd bet, lol.Porthugz wrote: I just had my Stanjames account closed, I am honestly chocked.
I was very carefull with this bookmaker, knowing that they were very quick on limitations. I am a pretty big loser on this book's side, I don't understand how they spotted me...
This is not whining. This is just analyzing the present situation and sharing ideas about future of arbing. You would understand me better if you were arbing for long time.wibble wobble wrote: quit your whinging its easy money still is it not?
its not got any harder since i started little over a year ago exactly the same but retire if you want less competition
You're right. Things are really getting harder (but not impossible!) now. I have to be realistic. Months when I make 30k+ are gone. Nowadays, I can barely make 20-25. And I know these numbers will drop below 20k in a near future. So what we can do in order to keep our profits constant? We must find new books maybe? But sooner or later, you may come to a point (Like Arbusers Admin mentioned it in thread, I suggest you to read it cause it's a good read) where arbing is not "very" profitable anymore. At that point, considering retirement can be a good option specially when we consider you gathered a nice wealth. Personally, I think I may be forced to slow down my operations after 2014 World Cup&Wimbledon and probably consider retirement after 2015 Wimbledon, right after winning my first million, I hope.JamesM wrote: I have been arbing for a considerable period of time. Whilst it is still possible to make a very respectable income from arbing, things are really getting hard now. Books limit players even if they don't arb. What chance do we have?
I plan to continue until the World Cup. After that, I will be ending my arbing career.
Live arbing is great! There's a risk involved, yes but you can place much bigger stakes when betting live and you can enjoy much more bigger arbs such as %5-10, even %15. So it's worth the risk! However, I have some sad news. Books are not stupid. Soon, they will limit live arbers too. 'Til that time, you better enjoy this opportunity. Some books limit you to 3€ but you can place 2000€ (or even 3000€ depending on odds) in live betting.Porthugz wrote: I read somewhere that live arbing is the future, what's your opinion on that?
i really like your posts..... i wish i could earn 1/2 of your profit or even 1/6 ....maybe when bank grow up....Yngwie/Sawyer wrote:
