Arbusers

Hi,

I am thinking of going with premium tradings, but they have said they advise going with Fair exchange with them, however I have read this is the same as betfair, how would I be able to arb if the prices are the same?

First of all, it worths highlighting they are sending you to FairExchange and not Orbit. They must be having their reasons for that.

Secondly, it is not clear to me what your plan is. If you are looking to arb using only exchanges, this will not work I am afraid.

I have told them I mainly back horses and some football and tennis, and so they apparently assess that and assign you something, I have never used a broker before so im a little confused at what they do, basically I have been arbing pre off horse racing with betfred on places, with 2 screens, I watch the prices on horses of a race on betfred, at the same time watching the betfair lay price, as soon as I see a decent arb, I click both, now you do only have a couple of seconds to react, every now and again you get some that do last longer, but I have been doing this for about 3 months and average stake of £30 to £60 a race, making a clear profit of £30 to £100 a day. Obviously I realised this wouldnt last long, but made the most of it, so with brokers would I be unable to do anything similar?
Thank you.

The brokers will not offer you a soft bookmaker like Betfred. They will only offer the hard side of Betfair. I understand that you already have a Betfair account.

surely they will offer me something that I can use to find arbs, otherwise what is the point of them?

Sorry if I sound stupid.

Read the forum first. I think some important points are escaping your attention. A broker will never offer you soft lines.

Thats fair enough, but can you tell me what they do offer? if you cannot get a price to arb with them, surely there's no point.
