anyone successfully arb'd sportsbooks or is that basically impossible now?

I keep seeing mixed stories about people arbing back in the day and either making bank or getting their accounts limited so quick it wasn’t worth the stress. Nowadays it feels like lines move faster than I can even spot an opportunity. Plus, half the sites have these weird stake limits or just plain boot you if they suspect anything.

Is there anyone actually getting away with successful arbing anymore, or is it just the occasional lucky find? I’m guessing this is a bit like those sports stats where one dude got a triple-double in the 60s and now everyone talks about it like it’s common.

Consistent arbing is basically extinct unless you have insane speed or private lines, since most sportsbooks sniff it out fast and lock you down. BetOnline gives you a fighting chance, but long term you’re just dodging limits until they catch on.

If you’re not tracking your bankroll with hawk eyes, even the rare arb win can get lost to bad fees or withdrawal hassles since most sites (except Betwhale) make cashing out a mess. Makes me wonder if the real “edge” now is just outlasting the hassle.
