There are numerous arbitrage sports
betting subscription services available
on the net, each with their own way of doing
things. Over the past couple of years I've
used most of them at one time or another
and I continue to use a small number of
them. Note:
I haven't included my personal software, Arbstation, here because it's
not strictly commercially available. I only share it with 9 users at
any one time so there are only 10 of us using it, keeping the
competition for arbs down.
Since
I've only just made this available, there are a couple of spots left.
If they're still available after you've tried the demo, you 'll be
offered a chance to subscribe. If not, then please read on for
information about some of the others that are on the market... The type that may be appropriate for
you will depend on your level of experience
and the level of trading activity that you
think you will be involved in. Some services
provide several thousand each month, whilst
others manage less than 50 per month. Therefore,
it's quite important that you match your
requirements with the right service. Otherwise
you will either be inundated with arbs or
starved. Either way you're going to be very
frustrated.
Of course, my reviews are largely subjective
because they are based solely upon my own
personal experience. However, there is one
aspect of each review that is objective
and which is perhaps the most important
measurement: the bottom line. That is, how
much I personally made (or continue to make)
with each service. I've included this profit
analysis in greater detail in my accounts,
which I will update every quarter.
The reviews use a star-rating system where
5 stars means excellent and 1 star means
atrocious. The headings I've chosen to rate
are:
- Price
- Support
- Quality
- Quantity
- Convenience
- Profitability

ARBALARM/TRADERZONE

Review: ArbAlarm comes from the longest established of all of the sports arbitrage companies, Sports Arbitrage World. The TraderZone
is the latest version of this software and it offers a large number of
unique features such as 'next best price' notifications for situations
where you miss a prices & a bonus-scalping filter which
automatically sorts through trades that use bookies where you have
bonuses sitting.
The filters system is able to block arbs based on sports, bookmakers
andprofit-yield. It can also block arbs where mixed rules apply and it
can block most palpable errors by comparing all prices to the market
average.
There is an accounting function which records all of your trades
automatically and provides you with reports such as accounts
balances/profit/ROI etc
The TraderZone is also able to grab 3rd party data. This means that
you can receive arbs from any other service(s) within the TraderZone -
very helpful if you use its accounting feature as it keeps everything
all in one place. For this reason, the TraderZone provides by far the
highest number of arbs of any service. This is obviously somewhat
controversial but equally very good for users as it makes a
subscription to other services slightly pointless.
New features are added every month and users are actively encouraged
to submit their ideas for inclusion. When you log in, you can see the
new features list and vote on the ones you prioritise. The developers
work onthe most popular ones first. They also provide the best professional trading browser ArbSurfer Pro

Review: ArbExpert scans 90 bookmakers and 19 sports. The service has
a decent filtering system which allows you to easily filter out
bookmakers you don't want, sports you don't want, arb percentages which
are too low or too high, odds which are too out of alignment with other
odds offered on the game, and bet types. They offer a full time and a
part time service.

traders although theiir service has been known to be patchy i.e
excellent at times but poor at other times. They do not offer a free

arbitrary price increases.

ARBHUNTERS

Number of Bookmakers: 36
Review: Arbhunters displays arbs in its members area. You can also
elect to receive the information by email and/or SMS.This service is
archaic in that the arbs are found by people rather than software.
This, of course, limits the number of arbs they can locate and the
distribution media they use are comparitvely slow. However, fewer arbs
and slower delivery are offset by the cheaper access fee.
