Arbitrage


 

In economics, arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a state of imbalance between two or more markets: a combination of matching deals are struck that exploit the imbalance, the profit being the difference between the market prices. A person who engages in arbitrage is called an arbitrageur. The term is mainly applied to trading in financial instruments, such as bonds, stocks, derivatives and currencies

Statistical arbitrage is an imbalance in expected values. A casino usually has a statistical arbitrage in every game of chance played, even though it could lose money on any single game.
