AusSoft/Reevera vs ArbForum? and Updated Alert Services List

Posted by Aegist on August 22nd, 2007

In an incredible twist to the AusSoft/Reevera saga, AusSoft have threatened legal action against ArbForum for the discussion on their boards about AusSoft’s Arb-A-Trader. AusSoft’s lawyers claim that the discussion is defamatory of AusSoft and has caused them a large loss in income. They imply that there are sinister motives behind the discussion. It seems that they think the community of members at ArbForum are somehow trying to destroy AusSoft for the benefit of AusSoft’s competitors. Quite possibly one of the most outrageous claims I have heard. A community of autonomous individuals all under the control of some vague ‘competitor’ entity which fears only one arbitrage alert company….right….

Gamblers Paradise and Free Sports Arbitrage

As well as AusSoft, Gamblers Paradise (GP) and Free Sports Arbitrage (FSA) have been added to the Sports Arbitrage Alert Service listing. Both GP and FSA call themselves ‘Free Services’, but they both have restricted access pending a paid upgrade or in the case of FSA, a requirement to use their affiliate links to register with bookmakers.

FSA is targetting beginners, hoping that people who are only just getting started will be interested in having a lifelong ‘free’ service for the one time requirement of registering with bookmakers from their links. A sensible enough approach, this does however restrict old hands from joining as most seasoned arbers have registered at every bookmaker in existence several times over already. The owner of FSA does say that other arrangements can be made if this is your situation and you would still like to register. If you aren’t interested in the permanent membership, then don’t miss the 10 day free trial anyway. Another free trial can’t hurt to improve your arb turnover for a week.

GP offers a unique scenario where they are offering much more than just alerts. They seem to be trying to socialise arbitrage so that you can message other members, buy and sell things within the community, and write articles for the other members. This is all available in the free membership, however the free membership only provides tennis arbs, screening out all other types found by the GP software. Upgraded membership has several levels, each one improving the access.
