Betfair - Sportsbook arbing

Sat Apr 20, 2019 6:27 pm

Anyone arb between Betfair and Sportsbook? Any chance Betfair won't like it and may occur negative consequences, account closure for example? I was asking such question years ago and from what I remember someone said that they won't like it but what would be the consequences? I don't care about limiting by Sportsbook but would care if Betfair will close my account somehow. Yeah, this seems ridiculous but would be nice to know for sure if they are okay with that.

Don't care... Heh, I've been testing some systems via bot betting. 0.1 euro stakes. And I've asked, some experieced people told me that this is dangerous and Betfair doesn't like that. Two people told me that they had accounts suspended due to "collecting data" and had to deal with them literally for weeks(phones conversations, millions emails exchanged) to unsuspend account. According to that they had also stakes limited. So after conversations I had Im more cautios than before.

Betfair doesnt like bots who just collect price data without betting.
Otherwise it's fine.
Tiny stakes were problematic in the past because some people messed with the rounding, I don't know if that's completely fixed.
If you use stake of 2£ or more there shouldnt be any problem.
Arbing on the exchange is obviously no problem for the platform.
