# Avoiding Bookmakers Bans and Limitations

## What you can do?

Here are some strategies and precautions you can take to avoid being banned or limited:

1. **Starting Smoothly**: dont be greedy, its important to "warm" your accounts on the bookmakers, start with just a few bets per day and with low amounts. Remember that SportsBet Arbitrage is a marathon, not a sprint. Its an opportunity to have a long term extra revenue with easy actions and a small amount of time dedicated.&#x20;
2. **Disguise Your Bets**: Instead of betting exact rounded amounts, bet odd amounts like $52.37 or $105.68. This makes it harder for bookmakers to spot patterns. Arbitrage software typically suggests rounded figures, so deviating from this can make you less noticeable.
3. **Avoid Betting the Max Allowed**: Always betting the maximum amount allowed on a particular market can raise suspicions. Stay below the radar by not always betting the limit.
4. **Mimic Regular Punters**: Occasionally place a few "normal" bets. For example, place some bets that aren't part of an arbitrage opportunity. Even if they're small, these can make you look like a regular punter.
5. **Stay Away from Obscure Markets**: Limit your arbitrage activities to major leagues and events. The more obscure the event or league, the more likely it will draw attention if a lot of money suddenly comes in from arbitrage bettors.
6. **Use Betting Exchanges**: Betting exchanges, like Betfair, match bets between punters rather than against the house. They earn a commission regardless of the outcome, so they don't mind if you're arbing. However, remember that there are still charges for winning bettors which can eat into your profits.
7. **Don’t Always Withdraw**: Frequently withdrawing funds can flag you as an arber. Sometimes, let your winnings accumulate before making a withdrawal. Also, don't withdraw immediately after a big win.
8. **Use Multiple Bookmakers**: Spread your bets across multiple bookmakers. Not only does this decrease your risk of being flagged by any one bookie, but it also gives you access to a wider range of odds.
9. **Use a VPN**: This isn't a foolproof method, but if you're accessing websites from a region where arbing might be more common, consider using a VPN to mask your location. However, always make sure you're not violating any terms of service.
10. **Read Reviews and Feedback**: Before signing up to new bookmakers, read reviews and forums to understand their stance on arbers. Some bookmakers are more lenient than others.
11. **Keep Track**: Maintain a record of all your bets. This helps in understanding patterns and adjusting your strategy. Moreover, if you are ever falsely accused of wrongdoing, you have documentation.
