What is the point of not passing out arbs to those that will not pass them back to you when they find them, or worse won't even look for them on their own.

If they're not looking for them on their own then they're not hurting my lines. If I already have my bet on, they're also not hurting my lines. Would I rather Pinnacle or a 2+2er have the free money? Personally if I can help someone I will. Sometimes I consider not helping out because I know there are people who can't stand me who are benefiting from this information, but then I realise how childish that sounds and post it anyway.

There are bigger and better places than 2+2 (for sports betting at least) that have been doing this for longer. All that has happened is that more sportsbooks have opened and we're getting better value lines because of the increased competition and therefore better arb opportunities.

There are people were not looking for arbs, but, because of these posts, they've been inspired to look for arbs.

Now, they are your competition and will get to arbs before you do, and, in many cases, the arbs will die before you see them.

Lori, I'm surprised that you are focused on the short term (i.e. a specific arb) rather than the long term. You've been around poker etc long enough to know that focusing on the short term can greatly impact your long term earnings.

Homer, I know you're in a different boat than the rest here. Creating sports bettors could result in some some fairly passive long term income for you, so I understand why you're sharing the arb info. You should know that by cultivating new arbers you are also alienating established high volume arbers who would have used your links but are now staying away from your site.
