If Barcelona is playing a home game with odds of 1.40, and with other bookmakers this odds range from 1.30 to 1.50, then it is no reason for us to cancel this bet.
What we often see in arbitrage betting is that relatively unknown teams at lower levels have to contend with injuries, corona infections, setting up a B team, and it is impossible for this information to reach bookmakers in time. This is yet another form of arbitrage betting, and these are also Sure bets as the odds will rise causing bettors to place a double bet at another bookmaker.

i thought its called value betting, isnt it? why should odds change on other bookmakers if u say that 'it is impossible for this information to reach boomakers in time'. or is it only about situations when other squad than main plays? and is it only about football matches as in other sports such as ice hockey, basketball, volley its not only 5 players playing the whole match they change a lot

You have been here on the forum for a long time. Then you should know what they mean. They mean that the information comes to them later than when the situation arises.
If 2 players of a team from the league in Slovenia are infected with corona by a Corona test, but they have a match the next day, then the time of diagnosis of the test until the moment when the bookmakers receive this information is different. There are people worldwide who have connections with such information, such as some players here on the forum constantly looking for.
A player has corona without knowing it, goes to practice, and then half of the first team has it. The next morning they are all positively tested. Currently, this team has odds of 2.0 to win
If it becomes known that this team is playing with a half A team and half B team, then this odds will increase from 2.0 to 3.8 I suspect or maybe a bit higher.
The bookmaker may not have this information at the time Corona is diagnosed. friends or acquaintances of these players probably know this, and if this information goes to a gambler, he can take advantage of it unfairly by betting on the opponent. The moment the information arrives at this bookmaker, the odds will increase to 3.5 and then they also bet on this team. And the surebet is placed and you always have a profit.
That's not gambling. That is what they mean that they then cancel bets, also seems pretty logical to me.

so its mostly about bets which have been placed few days before starting squads are announced
