Arbing after a beer or two? - true story...

Wed Jul 01, 2015 11:55 am

Hi guys,

I just feel like sharing sth with you today and bring one subject up to discussion here. Personally it happens to me that I place some arbs, having a beer or two last hour or so and I just wonder what you feel is the safe % volume you can handle when doing arbitrage.

And to make this story even more important I want to mention one situation (it was Germany against Greece game last World Cup) when I placed (being influenced by%) 30k EUR for Germany to advance at SBObet and countered with Greece draw no bet at Unibet or Pinnacle Sports. Fortunetely it was 4-1 so all good but a lot I lost a lot of nerves when my fellow arber came and told me that I made a huge mistake.

So what you feel is the safe amount?

Alchohol will make you ''less scared'' of the risks. In my opinion, its a huge NO to arb/trade/deposit on bookies or make any kind of financial decisions after ''a beer or two''.

it's better when u have a beer or two to stay away from arbing....
just enjoy the ,,a beer or two,,
by having alcohol in your body, it makes you less careless.
Good luck in the future  ;)

I must admit I often arb whilst pissed.  I have never made a mistake with figures, but have only covered 1 side of an arb on more than one occasion, and have had lays taken on Betfair that I completely forgot about.  Not great in the morning when you find out as it normally goes against you lol
