You mean your sharpbook balance (just arbs) is positive? For how long? Speak in numbers.
I'm sorry, i think you misunderstood me from the beginning, let me explain in a simpler manner.
The juice in the sharpbooks varies from 2.4% to 4%, maybe even higher. If you make an arb that is on a line with 3% juice, you simply lose 3% of the sharpbook bet.
Let's take an arb example:
€50 at softbook
€50 at sharpbook
So, a total of €100
You lose exactly €1.5 at the sharpbook (3% of €50).
So, for Net Profit to be higher than Sharpbook Loss you need to win more than €1.5, and since you invested €100, that is 1.5%

Do you place bets at softs with significantly lower odds than sharps? For example 1.70 or less. I think with lower odds chances are higher for the money to flow to softs, although a loss at a low odd can move a high amount of money back to sharps.
