So can you repeat what you meant? I apologize in advance if I misunderstood you.
Man, dont waste your time here. He is a troll or noob. There is not any misuderstanding here, I got to same conclusion as you, he placed HUGE AMOUNT of 2000 bets and draw crucial conclusions based on that. More than that, dont take absolutely any advices from experienced users cause HE KNOWS BETTER doesnt matter what you say. I stopped having any conversation with someone who act like he started betting yesterday

I meant what I said: In the long rung you win where you bet on the higher probability outcome, i.e. odds less than 2.0
Hard or soft doesn't matter. Probabilities matter.
And it happens that in the arbs I played so far, the higher probability outcome was most of the times at BIA. And as expected I win at BIA.
Simple as that.

I am monotonically repeating my self. The natural flow of money in arbitrage is from the sharp bookmakers (pin etc) and exchanges (Betfair) to soft bookmakers. This is an observation that goes on and on for some 20 years now, and there is nothing in the market indicating a change in behavior.

With a limited sample of bets, it is normal to see short term deviations, but a decent sample of bets will be disciplined to what I mentioned above.

You know it was sarcasm 'if I misunderstood you'.

Have you thought about placing those bets only on favorites as by your logic you'll be bathing in money with this system?

Please do so and keep us updated by every 100 bets.

Exactly. I admire you have nerves to respond in a gentle way.

by the way the subject was about BROKERS

Not sharp bookies and exchanges

And at brokers there are also soft bookies
And this can lead to the result that I have

Can you give me one example of soft bookie on brokers for starters?

As a seasoned pro on this subject you should know BROKERS = Sharps.

I see artemis and longma books on your screenshot. Are those new books? Has anyone ever seen their odds on molly? I have not.

Are all the bookies in this list sharp?

If so then the claim that in arbing money flows from sharp to soft isn't 100% valid.
Cause I am close to 200 bets and still winning big at BIA.

Turns out I was right.

You won't always lose in the long run at the broker no matter what as claimed here by many.

It depends on the odds of your bets

After around 100 bets at BIA I am still winning.
My average betting odds are less than 2.0 (weighted by the respective stakes) i.e. probability over 50%.
So purely mathematically the expected value of the returns is higher than the stakes, that is I was expected to win.
And this is exactly what happened.
I know that 100 bets is a relatively small number statistically but it still gives a strong indication
