In my case losing 90% of profits in 3 years is an absurd of how bad it is
Classis arbitrage is low for me. More of my betting is value betting and pre match trading on exchanges. I think that most smart bettors have moved away from arbitrage and more towards value betting.

Signed it. Difficult balance to achieve between protecting problem gamblers and letting the majority have a bet. I don't think it will have a good ending. Bookmakers have it all their own way. They shouldn't be allowed to completely close down winning accounts and should be forced to take a minimum bet.

Guys, sorry for interfering - I'm from a country where Pinnacle allows betting.
My friends have unused old accounts (opened around 2010-2012).
Deposit/payment is possible via USDT.

They have broadband Internet with remote access.
I think they could rent out these accounts.

Regarding trust, I think you can come up with something like an agreement through member "arbusers".
I mean guarantor.


Reasonable criticism is welcome.

I just read more details about these checks...

"affordability assessments on anyone who loses £125 in a month period or £500 in a year."

That's bonkers. It's bad enough already. If anything like those measures go through it is game over. No one wants to send 6 months wage slips and 6 months bank statements to bookmakers. It's a security risk and far too intrusive wanting personal data like that.

The UK govt. are really clueless. >:(

I am surprised they don't see they are pushing UK bettors to illegal services. Not only the sharks but smelts too. How can they be so clueless?

It looks highly likely it is all over for UK professional bettors. Even if you send all required information and pass their checks they will be sharing data with all other betting companies. So when one figures out you are a sharp all of them will know. I'm completely gutted.

What country are you in? Could try shop arbing. Have a go at value betting if that interests you? Get a part time job?

It does feel like the best days of sports arbitrage betting are gone. I'm the UK and we can't even open our own personal Pinnacle account.
Do you have an account with the Betfair Exchange?
I have it at Pinnacle. Maybe we can rent these accounts to each other and place bets through the TeamViewer program? Write to me in PM.

When they push UK bettors to illegal services it will be much easier for them to not payout... They are just one big piece of (You know ;) )
