    Bearing in mind the o.p. question -

    Given the speed with which an abitrage gap could close, I think the "subscribe to my tips" offer isn't going to work. Sounds like most times you have to jump really fast when the opportunity is found.

    Managing funds on behalf of clients does sound a lot more viable, but of course that means you'll probably be more noticeable with bigger bets, which could squeeze the margins...

      Perhaps the tips are not tips as in bets to place. Perhaps it's more general tips - advice for setting up a system, what to look for, etc. Those could be useful.

      The concept seems solid but probably takes a good amount of time to see any decent return.

        Dave - The subscription offer to tips is more non-arbitrage betting which is a different cenario on it's own. Where bankroll percentage bets etc play a big role.

        Managing funds I agree is more viable because of more opportunities becoming available and it outperform the percentage betting compared to non-arbitrage bets on a daily basis. Not at all that much noticeable due to the amount of arbs that become available. I still can't even cover all the opportunities yet due to bankroll. As you know sports is a big industry. There is a few tricks to the trade which is very beneficial.

          Mark Atkinson - The tips is which teams to place bets on just to clarify. Concept is solid and return is decent. Just depends on what you would see as a "decent" return and reasonable comparing other product in the market place. :-)

                        The betting laws in the U.K. are totally different to the betting laws in South Africa.
                        A few years back you could make some nice money arb betting but due to the betting laws in South Africa, a lot of bookies have closed their doors to South Africa.
                        Companies like Betfair, Betdaq, Ladbrookes & bet365 gave South Africans a limited time to withdraw your money & close your account otherwise you lost your money.
                        When I used to bet I used odds checker https://www.oddschecker.com/ to check for the best odds in the market.
                        If you don't live in South Africa, Betfair will most probably give you the best odds. http://sports.betfair.com/

                          Hi. Yeah thanks. I am aware of that yeah. It sucks though because the good old back and lay was the perfect option. Was just hoping there would be a company that would offer something like oddschecker. I dont need to back and lay. Just need to see the best odds on a market throughout all the bookies. Thanks for the reply though. Do you think the laws would prohibit a comoany like oddschecker? It just comparing odds. I can always open a website like that for SA. Doesnt need to be fancy.

                            Sports Betting Pushes Africa’s Online Gambling Industry Into Rapid Growth

                            To many, Africa is an exotic destination for the most adventurous ones. However, an online gambling industry representative would call Africa the next possibly very big market.

                            Of all types of regulated and unregulated gambling offering available to Africans, sports betting has established itself as the leading vertical. Although it is impossible to give accurate information about the size of Africa’s sports betting market both in terms of bets placed and revenue generated, one thing is for sure, the market is worth millions of dollars. Sports betting, online sports betting included, is a vibrant and dynamic industry across the continent and Africans’ growing interest in the English Premier League has been fueling that sector’s positive development. According to a report by Research and Markets, the amount of R358.4 billion ($27.2 billion) was wagered in the 2015/2016 reviewed period in South Africa.



                            It may be a good idea for existing operators with retail operations to take advantage of the mobile and Internet penetration to convert their retail customers to their online offering and thus further grow the industry in Africa.

Higher portion to client. I do however mostly motivate to invest R10k and more as it's more worth it and can state most clients are far above the R10k mark, being with me for some time. I provide mandate as well for good reason to assure good business practice.
