hey guys, i'm a complete n00b, i understand the theory of abitrage

but i am completely lost why are some of these arbitrages?

for example:

"
LAD +112 WSEX
NYM -111 Pinny"

is it because it's +EV if you bet both sides?

It is +EV to bet both sides, and even more +EV to bet one side. Why are you surprised that your example is an arbitrage? What do you think arbitrage is, anyway?

[/ QUOTE ]

arbitrage is like money in the streets, just basic market or in this case sports book inefficiencies that people can take advantage of....

if i had sat down and worked out the math, i wouldn't have posted, i'm sorry guys, i will only read and post arbitrage on this thread from now on,

basically i did the math wrong and didn't think it was an arbitrage opportunity, next time i'll do it 2x

carry on, sorry for the interruption
