What the evidence shows

Bookmakers are allowed to restrict accounts that win, which caps how long any arbitrage or offer-based method can last. The Gambling Commission found 643,779 of nearly 15 million active accounts (4.31%) restricted in some form, and says operators are entitled to act in their commercial interests. Among stake-restricted accounts, 22.41% were cut to less than 1% of normal stakes. Industry identity-verification firm IDnow describes how operators look for arbing patterns and limit or close those accounts.

Realistic earnings: Any edge tends to shrink as accounts get limited or closed; the sources don't show AI tools changing that.

Limitations

Earnings ranges are typical outcomes for a beginner, drawn from the sources; some people do far better or worse. Platform rules change often, so check the latest policy before you start.
