Doesn'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.

Strictly speaking, yes, there are risks associated.

But there's still a wide difference between those risks, and speculating on the (not-immediate) future.
