Arbing risks account restrictions or gubbing. - **When to Consider Arbing** [02:24] — If an account is already gubbed and the bookmaker offers no promotions, arbing can be used to extract remaining profitability. - **Tools for Arbing** [03:03] — Sites like Odds Monkey with an odds matcher can filter for arbs with ratings above 100%. ### Conclusion Match betting is safer for long-term profits via promotions, while arbing offers quick gains but risks account bans. Use arbing only on gubbed accounts with no promotional value. ## Transcript in this video we're going to be talking about the difference between match betting and arbing which is short for Arbitrage betting I actually had a comment on YouTube you can see difference and that's that's completely fine uh I can I can completely appreciate why people struggle to to Spot the Difference and it's actually really quickly explain the difference between the two and why you might prefer to do one or the other with match betting as I've spoken about in pretty much all of my videos on this channel we make profit by exploiting promotions that bookmakers run a lot of the time this is for free bets but it could be for extra places or or numerous other offers that aren't specifically for free bets but they're for big payouts but it's always a promotion that we're exploiting so as opposed to match betting with arbing you make all of your profit in one bet and you make a profit every single time this is because it's just it's just a really simple thing to do an ARB is when the odds are higher on the bookmaker than they are on the betting exchange a horse on the bookmaker odds of 10 and you've got the same horse on the exchange and you can lay it at odds of eight you can make2 profit for every £10 you St or a little more than 22 profit which means obviously if you put A1 on you can make 20 profit so you can see why this would be really appealing to people because if you could do that five times a day you're making £100 if you do that in a week that's £700 obviously in a year that's a lot of money why is arbing bad bookmakers absolutely hate it they hate much better but it's a lot easier to be to slide under the radar when you're match betting if you act like a mug to get away with things a bit easier if you're taking an AR it stands out on the account it stands out massively especially on the horse racing which is arbs there's stuff on the football as well and sometimes you actually can't avoid arbing because it's just a case of Bea in the start price but they are really bad you do not want to be risking your Healthy bookmaker accounts with Arbitrage bets however if you are already goodbed and the bookmaker doesn't tend to run extra places for example or anything like that then you might want to consider arbing the account to death basically if uh there could be some random bookie that they're not very big they don't do the extra places they don't they don't ever do anything you're gobbed so you can't do anything with them you're going to be fine Haring them they'll let you take the funds out and and that'll be it you won't be able to squeezed that last bit of profitability out you can actually use sites like odds monkey and anything with an odds matcher interested in doing them you just need the odds matcher and you can just set up a simple filter to filter anything with a rating above 100% if this video has helped you out then please hit that like button subscribe if you're interested in regular match betting videos and ways to make money with betting and let me know in the comments below if you're still struggling to to grasp the concept of arving I'll try and clear it up as quickly as I can thanks for watching
