I'm at work Monday to Friday between 8am and 3.30pm so I find that most of my bets are placed either very early in the morning, or later in the evening. It can sometimes be annoying to get home to see that I have missed out on a few really juicy arbs, but I try to make up for lost ground over the weekends. It's a shame that you don't offer a weekend-only service - that would be perfect for me during term-time :-)
During the Easter and Summer holidays this year, I traded full-time and it was quite an experience - especially in the summer when I was sometimes putting on 8 or 9 trades in a single day. That was hard work, but fun!
Although the profits are nice to have, I don't think I'd ever want to make trading my only occupation, but as a part-time way of earning money, it's hard to beat.

Dear Jason,

I have had problems with a computer so I haven't been able to retrieve the email I thought I had sent you. Basically it was thanking you for setting up my filters which I now understand. It is some 12 months since I first subsribed to your arbitrage service and I thought you might like to know how I have got on.

My average monthly take started at about £1000 which was based on a float of about £7000 in regular months and £15-20,000 when a grand slam tennis tournament is on. I now make between 2-5K per month depending on how much time I put in, in fact I made over £1000 on the opening day of the Oz Open alone, and I cannot see why this shouldn't continue. As I have over a years records I know where to put my money so can make more efficient use of it, which has made a considerable difference. Thanks again for your continued help.

I like the flexibility that switch payments give me and the speed that I can move money back to my bank account.Consequently I stick largely to UK bookmakers BetBubbles.com/ and other larger Europeans like expekt.I run my own business which means I leave about 7am so I rarely bet in the morning, I am home by 4 and find most bets are placed between then and 9pm.I mostly bet on tennis and the US sports.

I am more than pleased that I have used your service as it has taken away the single biggest financial commitment I have (mortgage),if the arbs only cover this I would be happy but I still make £400 over and above this per month.

Anyway thanks again.

You need commitment and patience to make this work. It took me 2 full months to get used to navigating around bookies web sites, finding the bets, being confident enough to put the money on and then knowing where the money is at all times. I have to say, though, I think this is the best thing I have come across. Now that I'm doing this full-time, my profit target for the year is A$70,000 and I reckon I'll pass it. I can't think of any other way that I personally could be making this kind of money from home.
I'd say that anyone who wants to start arbing seriously should take at least a week off work to learn the ropes. It would be very hard in my thinking to do it part time, but some people could I suppose.

The ArbAlarm is fantastic and the service works well for us down here. We start getting the arbs around 4pm and they finish coming around 10am. I have my nights free so I can do very well at it. I told a lot of people what I do and about your site. Most of them thought it's gambling or they just didn't seem interested. But now I have started making real money a few of them seem to be a lot more interested.

If you get any more Aussie clients who want to start up, here's what I recommend they would need

1 Cable internet access
2 Availability to work evenings
3 HSBC switch card
4 US visa debit card

I wasn't really 100% convinced about this when I signed up, you know. I understood the theory but I had my doubts about how often the situations came up and how much money I'd really be able to make. Well, I can tell you, Jason, now I'm convinced and what's more, after getting past the initial frustrations I had with my slow internet connection, this is more fun than I ever imagined it would be.
I start quite early in the morning and my ideal situation is when I can complete 2 or 3 investments by lunchtime. I spend a lot of time either in the garden or painting (my other hobby) so I did what you suggested and put the volume up on the computer so that the alarm can be heard from anywhere in the house. My wife wasn't too happy about that though, so the mobile phone text alerts come in quite handy - letting me know when I need to get to the computer without disturbing her.

Well done, Jason, on providing a great service and actually delivering on what you said you would - regular risk-free profits.
