Default What happened to the arb threads?

Anyway, BetChris/Bookmaker has Wake at +215, while Matchbook has FSU -210 (with almost 3000 behind it).

If you do find any particularly juicy ones, please post them. Just bump the arb thread. I know I would appreciate it.

Help a newbie out here. Does this mean if you place a unit on each then......if FSU wins you break even and if Wake wins you win a little.....so basically it is a free roll on Wake to win?

You can arrange it however you want. You can calculate it such that you make the same amount of money no matter which side wins. See an arb calculator for details (I don't have a link handy).

my arbing has gone way down because it's so hard to move money around. i'm not comfortable having large balance imbalances at my key books anymore, because re-upping is such a hassle. plus with books slow playing more often and having more risk of going belly up, it's no fun winning a bunch of arbs in a row at certain books.

i'm sick of it really. can't wait to get to vegas in three months. if the offshore situation hadn't deteriorated so much in the past year, i'm not sure i would even be moving.

Thanks Utah. It was at KC +3.0 -105 yesterday. But I didn't bet it because I'm always unsure if I should take the arb now or wait until game day for an even bigger arb. When it comes to the NFL at SIA, you never know.
