Lesson 10 – Arbitrage Betting – Players profile

Sports arbitrage is quite specific field, where just small group of people can achieve success. Perhaps many of your friend are aware of the fact you are arbing and you make good money on it. Perhaps some of them told you they also want to start playing surbets, but for some reason they never started or left industry at the beginning. Perhaps you also know few people who really wanted to spend a lot of time arbing, but did not succeed in producing any decent income.

Here I will try to define an ideal person for arbitrage-playing focusing on his desired character traits. If you cannot link one or more of these characteristics with yourself try to spend some time and work on that particular aspect.

Outstanding intellect and experience

Let’s be honest. Even though average people can to some extent manage when arbing, these are exceptional people who make fantastic income on it. The reason for this is these guys enhanced ability to learn in time, rapid analysis of surebet list, choosing best options and safest arbs, correct risk management, quick manual calculation of stakes without using surebet calculator, intuition where to find live-arbs and many other factors. These better developed features ensures these players slight advantage, which on the field of arbing effects in producing way higher income. Moreover less gifted and less experienced players will simply more often make mistakes and place incorrect arbs or place right ones not correctly.

Systematic work

Arbing gives you extraordinary nowadays possibility to regulate your working time. Every one of us, arbers, certainly have his own schedule, when placing surebets. No matter how long during day/week you arb the point is to do it systematically in order to secure stable income. This persistant work is particularly important at the beginning of your arbing adventure, as at that time you are most susceptible to mistakes and discouragement. Systematic work, even if bad days will appear, will not let you stop placing surebets.

Courage and determination

I personally do not know single fearful person who even seriously thought of starting arbing. This is for solid, determined people.

Self-discipline

Again – if you do not motivate yourself to work, none will do it for you. There is no boss here, but you. And second meaning of this characteristic – operating at bookmakers you need to be able to resist temptation of placing all your monthly income on “dead cert”, in order not to lose your cash.

Reflex, quick decision taking

Once you spot surebet opportunity, you need to evaluate within seconds whether or not it is right and worth playing and afterwards you need to place it as fast as possible in order to secure income
