anyone successfully arbitrage sportsbooks or do they catch you immediately
I keep seeing posts about people pulling off arbitrage with sportsbooks but every time I’ve tried it, I get limited almost instantly or my bets just get rejected outright. I’m not even throwing massive amounts, just smallish amounts on clear value splits. Is there something I’m missing here, or do these sites just have bots scanning everything now? I get it if you’re smashing lines before they move, but even waiting till odds stabilize I feel like I’ve got a target on my back.
Honestly, sometimes I wonder if it’s more hassle than it’s worth for a few bucks and the headache of moving money around constantly. I’d rather grind roulette for comps than deal with the risk of a locked account. Curious how others keep flying under the radar or if the era of easy arb is just gone.
Pushed this route once thinking smaller bets would sneak through. Wasn’t even an hour before I got slapped with limits across the board. In poker you can bluff tight once in a while, but with sportsbooks, there’s no art left. Unless you thrive on dodging account flags and wiring funds, it’s just rinse and repeat stress. These days, I keep my risk for spots that feel actually fun or sustainable.
