    sports arbitrage (surebets) anyone using it?

    Hey guys, some of you should remember me for a recent past, i was here to make some predictions on sports betting, for some monthes i've just stoped betting after i lost some money on a stupid way and i got a bit frustrated, however i have betting on my blood and im back.

    Im thinking in doing some surebets however i probably dont have a good value to make it, i can spend now around 500€.. for bets like 2% profit i can get 10€ however i will have some days waiting my profits to have them available on my accounts to play again and again and that will not give me a good profit in end of the month.

    I just wonder if there is anyone dong surebets around and what programme you guys using? I like rebelbeting however its not a cheap service and for someone like me that havent a big ammount to spend at begining, paying what they ask will almost kill my income profits. Using free surebets is also not reliable because they can be tricky sometimes.

    I was thinking about this for a long time but decided to not do arbitrage. In my opinion it is hard, one mistake can cost you a lot, and even if you do good still there will be some problems, as you said they can be tricky.You should think about that depositing or taking money from different places can cost you some fees. Even if you use some service you can see very often that some price does not exist at some bookies or it is been changes, and also you must use some bookies with bad reputation to find prices that can give you profit.

    My advice is stay away from that, maybe someone with positive experience can give better advice ......

      Nice answer. i also am a bit afraid of it.
      are you using any bet system to win money? i try it for 3 years but i get a conclusion that is almost impossible to be a well sucesfull gambler betting on sport bet. its all about luck in the end of the day

        I play singles, sometimes doubles, not very often more than that.If you bet only on good selected games with good information or research i can tell you that maybe you are not gonna make some big profit but I am sure you are not gonna lose, in worst scenario you will play around with you money for fun.Try to not play too many games in one day or if you have bad streak do not try to win your lost money with one high steak bet, play slow on long term.

          I think that paying some others for "sure bets" it is not a good solution. As someone already mentioned here, that sure bet can end with a surprise and you are losing two times (first - paying for the bet, second - losing your cash on the game).
          I suggest you to pick up that so called sure bets by yourself.
          I am always relying on teams as Olympiacos, Porto, Benfica, Barcelona, Real. There are some tricky games but if you know how to select the information, you will be successful at the end of the day.

          To give you an example. I played today on Olympiacos Pireus and Benfica in combo. Final odds 2.1. I think that you would have paid some serious money to get such sure odds. All you have to do is to find information and to select it (sorry to repeat this but it is important). Olympiacos had to beat Kerkyra, otherwise they would have let just 2 points between them and Panathinaikos. I watched the game. It was 1 way traffic. Kerkyra had no real chances and they had only 5-10 minutes in all the game when they were in Olympiacos' field.
          Benfica was travelling to place number 4 (U. Leiria). Leiria lost some important players (+the best attacker) in this transferring period and Benfica is still in need of points to be sure of the 2nd place as I personally think that they can't fight for the title anymore.
          The final results were:
          Kerkyra - Olympiacos 0-2
          Leiria - Benfica 0-3

          It is difficult to find singles with odds near 1.9-2.0 so you can double the placed stake but I think that it is the easiest and the safest method to play on singles.

          This kind of analysis can be done every week and you will find some good games and I think that your success will be guaranteed. It doesn't worth to pay for games.

              Perhaps can be done, but keep it simple.
              Scouting around for improbable bookies is out.
              Also start with the bet with the somewhat irregular price and then proceed to the other. This will limit the possibility of mistake, if the price changes.

              There are dangers as always when money changes hands.
              My great grandfather lost a huge sky scraper the size of Empire State Building, because he was waiting for a shipment of cereals that never arrived (the captain played some sort of trick midseas).

                this is not a surebet.

                A surebet or sport arb as called, is the diference of the odds from the bookies.

                You cover all the 3 posibility results from diferent bookies and in the end you are going to have a profit of around 1 to 3% max.

                this is surebets i was talking about but nvm, i have just canceled my idea due to high risk of canceled bets.

                thanks anyway.

                    hi
                    First of all SureBets are not for everyone
                    almost all of the people who practice this activity with difficult talk about it in forums, because it holds the secret for himself
                    I go in this business for 1 year and I start with 10k about which is the minimum bankroll to start with.
                    now after 1 year I have more than doubled the money, my bankroll has become 20k and I give back some money to my bank account

                    I started with rebelbetting but it is the fast way to be limited by bookies. betonvalue is the right solution, Because it have Also local bookies (italy, franch, germany etc. ..)

                    Arber's work can be difficult the first 2 or 3 months, but then, understood the mechanism, the "game" becomes mechanical and you can lower the number of errors.

                    I recommend it to all those who want gain some ***8364;, but to make this you must have at least an initial bankroll of 10k

                    PS: sorry for my poor english

                      almost 20k in a yeah from a bank of 10k mhhh i dont know what to say...it's sounds little poor for that money/period of time!

                      i practiced surebets this summer and made almost 1k in 4 weeks but hade some problems and withdraw them...

                      Surebets are a investment besides the normal job...you can't make a living from this like but in time you could have some good ca$h in the bank account for your satisfaction when your whit you girl or the boys at a beer or wanting some clothes bla bla...

                      anyway it's a sure and good way to earn money becouse if you place a normal bet...you dont know if you will win or not...

                        I agree but some of us are really fond of betting and we
                        cannot blame those who wants it for
                        recreation at least.. but more than that
                        Well quit gambling too much bro..
                        Stay on track and on the limits!

                          eheh 99% people try to make surebets, fail!
                          1k in 4 week is good but if you don't know how to manage, you do not know which bookmaker to avoid, don't know wich deposit and withdrawal methods to use, if you do not have a good betting and bankroll management, you may run into many problems, including non-payment of books.
                          the surbets seem easy, but unfortunately are not for everyone.
                          for now, i making 1200-1300 every month with 20k bankroll and im very happy.
                          this amount of money i not reach with normal job, so for now, arbitrage is my main job

                              if someone makes 1000 e or even 10000 e per month with arbing i doubt he will care what he will do at age of 60.
                              beside that nowadays you get in penison at 60-65 and life up to 75 so you have max 10 years pension. second, my mother get pension at 58 nowadays women get at 63. so how you know what will be situation in Europe in 30 years? You dont, and nobody does. People might retire then at 74, would you care about pension ? No.
                              So i dont know why you mention pension here, you have at least 5 more important problems when you do arbing.
