Sports Arbitrage   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) An arbitrage situation is when bookmakers' prices differ enough that they allow bettors to back all outcomes and still make a profit. Naturally, the frequency with which arbitrage opportunities arise is relatively low, since each bookmaker is careful not to ride against the general tide of opinion regarding the pricing of a sporting event. Sports arbitrage is more accessible to everyday people because of the internet, but there are still barriers which stop everyone from being successful. www.homepokergames.com /sportsarbitrage.php   (1832 words)

Arbitrage and Equilibrium More fundamentally, the presence of arbitrage is inconsistent with the existence of an optimal portfolio strategy for any competitive agent who prefers more to less, because there is no limit to the scale at which an individual would want to hold the arbitrage position. The principle distinction is that arbitrage of the first kind guarantees positive returns with non-positive commitments (think of borrowing and lending at different rates) whereas the second kind guarantees non-negative returns with negative commitments (a "free lunch"). Thus an arbitrage opportunity in general can be thought of as a series of trades where an agent commits none of his own endowment and yet makes positive gains along the line. cepa.newschool.edu /het/essays/sequence/arbitrage.htm   (2620 words)

The Internet As A Source Of Regulatory Arbitrage On balance, therefore, I predict that the Internet's regulatory arbitrage effects will tend to promote liberal democratic values of openness and freedom more than they will detract from what most consider to be the modern states' legitimate regulatory powers. Access is not costless: regulatory arbitrage will make some regulation, such as the control of digital gambling and pornography, next to impossible and will likely complicate the regulation of information commerce generally. Libertarians will not, however, find that their promised land naturally materializes, since the effects of regulatory arbitrage are concentrated and leave much of the traditional regulatory functions of the state untouched. osaka.law.miami.edu /~froomkin/articles/arbitr.htm   (11240 words)
