No, arbitrage is a combination of trades that essentially risk free as they offset each other.
This is just regular trading. Every time he swaps a card, he takes the risk that he won't be able to offload the new card.
- selestify 6y agoDoesn't arbitrage come with slight risk too? The spreads are always fluctuating, and if you don't time it right (in say high-frequency trading) you might not be able to offload whatever you just bought at a good price either.
- BorisTheBrave 6y agoStrictly speaking, yes, there are risks associated. But there's still a wide difference between those risks, and speculating on the (not-immediate) future.
