I have been working non stop on so many different aspects of the site lately that there have been quite a lot of improvements and hopefully they will be appreciated. If anyone has comments, please mention them in the forums or email me, I’m always interested in feedback and user ideas!

First of all, welcome to our new Newsletter! I have wanted to set up a good solid newsletter since I started the change over from the old website design to the new design you are all familiar with now. So, i set up a newsletter registration, but thanks to more issues than are worth mentioning, it seemed like a bad idea to continue with that newsletter system. Instead I have decided to make better use of this blog aspect of the website and better integrate syndication so that every visitor can now very easily register for updates from the here. If you scroll down to the bottom of this page you will find a text box. Enter your email address, check your email, click on a verification link…and you are subscribed! Easy as that. And it is all handled by RSSPect, so you know your email is completely 100% absolutely no doubts spam free no selling safe. Other options also include adding it to your Google Personalised homepage (I’ve done both), or Yahoo, MSN etc. It can actually be added to any form of syndication, but they are usually the easiest and most popular.

So register to this blog, now the ‘News and Articles’ section, and you will be kept in the loop completely with regards to Arbitrage Trading news, relevant online gambling news, and important SAG/SBB website news.

Specific Website Changes

Other changes around SAG include the addition of a Link Exchange submission form. So anyone who has a website who wants a link from SAG is free to enter their details and request an exchange. See the Link Exchange page for more details.

The navigation column menu is being improved slightly, so that you always know where you are in the scheme of the website progression. The advertising has been switched back to Google Adsense, since it seemed more people were interested in the topic relevant text links that the banner advertising. And I have finally managed to finish the Bookmakers Selection page (thanks to finally finishing SBB) and I have added a ‘Work At Home‘ page, to express the benefits of Sports Arbitrage Trading as a work at home job. I think I spend so much time on this site telling everyone how to be careful, and what mistakes to watch out for etc, that everyone who visits gets the impression that Sports Arbitrage Trading is a death trap full of certain peril. That really isn’t the case at all, it is just worth the effort to be wary of all of the possible mistakes, so that it can be as easy and cruisy as it should be. Once you have all of the bases covered, there really isn’t any better mechanism for making money from home at your own pace than Sports Arbitrage Trading.

I’m actually going to write an article on working at home as an arbitrage trader soon.

Posted by Aegist on April 10th, 2007

Due to problems with the current SAG Newsletter setup we have decided to remove that newsletter completely and instead work on better integrating the Blog with the website as a News and Articles reference which visitors can subscribe to either as a simple RSS feed (as is currently available) or as an Email alert (now available).

This will of course result in more emails than was planned for the original newsletter setup (which was planned to be as regular as maybe one newsletter every two or three months), which will still be reasonably few in any case.

So for the meantime, the newsletter registration link has been taken down, and work will begin (in the background) on re-developing the Blog into a News and Articles digest. A newsletter will be sent out as soon as it is ready, and everyone will be able to subscribe to the blog as they wish, and the newsletter email list will be deleted.

SureBetBookies Has Been Released!

After many months of figuring out exactly how to achieve the goals of the SureBetBookies database, then months of coding and months of changing my mind, and eventually a period of refinement, SureBetBookies is actually live and open to the public.

We aren’t completely finished yet, and it may not happen for a long time yet (we only have 40 entries in it out of more than 200 to come) but we have started with the more crucial bookmakers and we are dutifully working on collecting data on more bookies all of the time. We will also be adding a “How to use this database” page soon which will no doubt be of help, but for now you will find explanation for each field in the database just by hovering over the column title.

So get over to SureBetBookies straight away and start playing with the various searches, filters and sorting methods you can use to find the best bookmaker for your betting practice.

Not-Arbitrage Focused

One thing which I think is worth noting about the new SureBetBookies directory is that it has not been designed ‘for arbitrage’. Now don’t let that confuse you, if you are trading sports arbitrage, then the SureBetBookies database will be the best tool you have come across; end of story. But the functionality we have built into this database makes it incredibly useful to any professional or recreational gambler. It provides a host of specific details about every bookmaker which can’t be easily found anywhere else, and some of the information, like bonuses amounts, sports rules, deposit methods, user comments and bookmaker relationships are just as useful to a recreational gambler as they are to professional gamblers as they are to arbitrage traders.

What does this mean for you? It means that the few sportsbooks who really do not like arbitrage traders have no reason to suspect visitors from SureBetBookies.com are anything other than good quality traffic. We will be advertising SureBetBookies on gambling forums, on gambling information sites, we will be receiving traffic from betting portals, social networking sites and social bookmarks. SureBetBookies has been designed to meet the precise needs of the sports arbitrage trader, while still keeping with the fact that an arbitrage trader never wants to be recognized as an arbitrage trader.

So in the interest of ensuring SureBetBookies is recognized as a sportsbook database for everyone and not as a portal just for arbitrage traders, you can actually help out by using the social website buttons provided on each page to ‘Digg’, ‘Stumble’, vote for, and bookmark SureBetBookies, thus bringing it out into the wider community. This will help SureBetBookies greatly, and it will help the arb traders get lost in the general mix of gamblers, just like all arb traders want.

Other News

Neteller Update

As most will already be aware, Neteller have been in court proceedings for quite some time now with regards to its activities in the US with gambling. The proceedings are ongoing and the impact is still being felt. For a rather thorough discussion on the matter, see this 72+ page long thread at 2+2 forums on the topic. The most recent changes include reduced service to Canada and reduced service to Turkey.

There is no reason to fear the safety of your money with Neteller. I personally still use them because they are still a pivotal part of the community, but I have started moving more and more of my accounts over to Moneybookers where possible, and I recommend the same to everyone.

See the bookmakers which accept Neteller.

Sports Punter 25% Discount for New Accounts

As previously mentioned in the Sports Arbitrage Guide blog, SportsPunter is offering a 25% discount to all new members. SportsPunter is a great service for experienced arb traders as it finds many arbs which most alert services just don’t look for. If you are dedicated to arbing for the long term, then I highly recommend taking full advantage of this offer and simply registering for a whole year. At only $510 USD for the whole year, minus 25% equals only $382.5… That is what most other services which get far fewer arbs charge for 3 months! And you will get one of the best services in the marketplace for a whole year.

If you are trading sports arbs, you’d have to be crazy to not take advantage of that.

See the bookmakers used by SportsPunter in the SBB Directory.

ArbExpert Re-launch

After a few weeks of time offline, ArbExpert re-launched mid way through March and extended their free period until the 25th of March. In the downtime they added BetFair to their service and made moves to add BetDaq (which has subsequently been added). The biggest change they have made though is to drop their registration price to £50 per month, precisely half of the original cost.

If you missed out on the free period, then you can still take out one of the trial periods.

If you want to register with ArbExpert, then be sure to mention Sports Arbitrage Guide as where you heard about ArbExpert from!

See the bookmakers used by SportsPunter in the SBB Directory.

Nickel Vacuum Changes

I have been in communication with Adam From Nickel Vacuum also and he has advised me of a number of improvements and changes to the Nickel Vacuum program. More sports and bet types have been added, thus greatly increasing the number of arbs found by their service. A few changes have also been made to the user interface, filters and alerts on the site.

See more details on the Nickel Vacuum website.

ArbExpert is back online after some extensive upgrades, and they have once again opened up their service to free access, this time until the 25th of March, so get in quick to take full advantage of this brand new service. They have also decided to lower their price to only £50, thus making their service much more accessible on an ongoing basis to most arbers.

I have received a reply from Daniel at SportsPunter which has explained what happened, and that every subscriber will be given an extra week to their subscription (to make up for only two days offline, sweet deal!).

Basically they had scheduled a server upgrade but in the days leading up to the server upgrade, their current server crashed. Since the site was offline anyway they decided to just rush the server upgrade through at the same time to actually save on total time offline. Unfortunately during the upgrade the city in which the server was hosted suffered a major power outage (a major power cable was cut) and what should have been a simple upgrade turned into 2 days worth of trouble as the ISP staff were over-extended with numerous support calls from their other customers trying to get their websites back online too.

So basically, it was a server crash which lasted longer than it should have, but on the positive side they now have a better server, and all members get an extra week for the price of only 2 days (and only 2 days in the most quiet period of the week).

Daniel also assures me that no data was lost during the server crash or the upgrades.
