Arbitrage opportunities in most financial markets appear and disappear extremely quickly. In every market that reveals arbitrage opportunities, there will be arbitrageurs operating. Many bank dealing rooms have personnel whose sole job is to seek out and act upon these types of opportunities.

Sports-arbitrage is far more easily accessible to everyday people because of the internet, but there are still barriers which stop everyone from being successful.

It takes capital, time, organisation and energy to make consistent profits.

It is important to develop streamlined processes that enable you to act upon opportunities immediately.

Sports-arbitrage is risk-free, not effort-free. Your success depends upon your own level of commitment and hard work. Individual arbitrage prices do not last for long and there is a steep learning-curve for all new traders to climb. The tools on this site will help you to make the most of this opportunity, but only if you are ready to put in the required effort.

If you are going to search for opportunities yourself you will, at the very least, need to learn

- Which bookmakers to use
- Which bookmakers to avoid
- How to differentiate between various odds formats
- What sports to consider
- What times to conduct your searches
- How to manage your capital & keep track of every transaction you make
- How to recognise & avoid betting on prices that are due to a bookmaker's error
- How to place the correct amounts every time, even when the currencies are different
- How to place bets quickly, efficiently & accurately whilst under pressure

The software tools that you will find in the Sports Arbitrage World TraderZone will assist you in many ways by automating most of these processes.

As a realistic guide, if you are a novice trader, you should expect to take 4 - 6 weeks of preparation & training before you feel totally comfortable trading with full-size stakes.
