Well not exactly like that, but I've been arbing with great success on UK races.
Previously I thought all bookie/betfair arbs got snatched up by bots.
This isn't the case
Win and place markets have plenty of arbs on most races.
I green up the arb by laying a little more and usually find two or three per race at various times before betting closes.
I can't believe this is going on so easily.
The only problem is if odds change, but I make sure I get matched on the exchange first, then put the bookie arb on.
I've had a couple of occasions where the bookie price has moved, but usually I can just back it back on Betfair for a clean breakeven.

You get them for a few minutess on the win market, but the place market is the bomb! - some just sit there for ages begging repeat arbs over and over.

And damn it, I'm sitting up late again.
I swore I wouldn't do it anymore, but it's worthwhile, so I'll work week on week off I think.
