I would imagine that arbing reveals areas in markets that bookies have missed and are therefore less profitable / loss making for them..also, as said before, one person betting at 1k takes a lot of money available for laying many other smaller punters bets.

TBH, if the OP is an arber then he should just take it on the chin - doesn't sound like he was left with a huge liability to worry about. If it's a regular punter..then, if you're betting with those amounts, Bet365 is probably doing him a favour.
