But I have only one question for this one question, so I hope you can bear with me for this one lone question.

Well, OK, but just this one question.

Say a person doesn't know anything about sports.

I'm not convinced a knowledge of sports is necessary for sports arbitrage. Any good stock or futures trader can learn sports arbitrage, even if he's a complete cripple when it comes to sports.

But he is good at searching for arbitrage opportunities. Can he sustainabily have an EV+ of more than $100/hour over five hundred hours in a year?

I would hope that in addition to being good at searching for arb opportunities, your theoretical trader would also realize that the lack of a stated bankroll makes this question impossible to answer.
