Tough future ahead

Sat Dec 23, 2023 8:55 am

One of the bookies that used to be very profitable recently told on a podcast that now they check every bet against Pinnacle before accepting it.
So no more profit can be made there.
Another bookie that used to be profitable now monitors Pinnacle odds so well that there are almost no value bets there anymore.
More bookies will follow.

What does the future of arbing will look like, when this starts to become standard among bookies?

I know the answer, unfortunately
I think that I just don't want to accept it
I was so sad when I read this that you have no idea
This is something that can impact arbing in a substantially negative way

Actaully I have idea. I know one market (country) where you can still make decent profit, situation there has been the same last 10 years and I don’t think will change in the near future. Unfortunately I don't have “friends” there to exploit that market in right way.

It's getting harder recently
Even soft bookies adjust their lines now fast
Even weekends are now getting slower and harder too

I guess they don't want any winners at all
Wether it's arb or value bets..

As for pinnacle it's pretty much dead and websites have radar against them and adjust fast

I can confirm above,
I see big pushback from soft bookies, i.e. Betano, which now reacts insanely quickly.
