Hey Guys! I´m Philipp or Phil or Ryan as you wish. I´m the new guy here and id like to go into some arbing! My english is okay i guess? But its not my motherlanguage so please be nice if I make some mistakes :P

So now how I came here. I started sportsbetting cause of a friend who was betting and is now arbing. I never arbed myself and just did some value bets. But this is not what im looking for. Its fun to bet on some Teams and make a few nice combis but I want to do something else. I´m not foolish enough to think that I can take 100€ and be rich in a year with arbing or any of this. What I want is something where I can put time and effort in it an can progress. I searched the Forum and decided I need to register here since here are people who know a lot what I dont know. I got some questions I´d like to ask you since I havent found any related posts. But if I´ve overseen it it would be nice if you can send me the link :)

So my first questions is for understanding. What is a sharp bookie and a soft bookie? Couldnt figure it out completly by reading the posts in here.

The other question would be setup related. I want to start arbing as soon as possible to start learning. I dont wanne get rich as fast as possible etc I just want to start somewhere. My thought was that maybe for a light start 5-10 bookmakers would be enough? I would invest at max 1000€ what would mean something like 100 per account or like 80 per account and the rest in an e-wallet? I know how arbing works but I dont know how the managment works. Well maybe then I dont know how it works. I mean I get the idea that I may have to switch money from the accounts to another with the ewallet and stuff like that. But I dont have excat figures of money what I should use stuff like that. Can someone help me with that so I can get a basic idea how the Managment works in arbing?

Thanks!

Just because I'm a bit drunk I'm gonna be one of the guys i hate (telling Y everything Y can find in the forum with a search) A sharp bookie is an asian bookie like pinnacle 12bet sbobet and some more that Y can use with agents. Then Y have the exchange bookies like betfair, betdaq, smarkets.) they are "sharp" and will not limit Y. The soft are the "rest". 1000 :- ain't enough to start with and Y know it. Start with som bonus hunting and build up your bankroll to atleast 10 000:- keep minimum 10% to your ewałlet. Sry for my spelling and my bad english have a good arbing night.

If you want to start with only 1000 you will have to use a few bookies (let's say 5) and deposit 100 on each and leave 500 on the wallet.
Place small arbs to see what happens. As you run out of money on a book you can deposit 100 more from your wallet. You will not make big money, but you will learn.

For starters, your basic question what is a sharp and what is a soft bookmaker could be easily answered with a very basic google search (https://www.google.com/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=w4kDVMKiE_H10gX34oDoDg#q=sharp+bookmaker+soft+bookmaker)

If you are not capable of thinking something that simple, then you have really a huge way in front of you before you start arbing. Also, you must do a lot of reading before starting asking questions.

Good luck
