Why Success is more Luck than Hard Work

The one thing I’ve noticed of all successful people is they used some form of arbitrage at some point, and this can often be mistaken for luck. This is what makes the difference from a person that has merely worked hard.

Curious, what kind of arbitrages do succesful people use?

(Not OP). that arbitrage comment is so vague as to be devoid of meaning. But an example of someone becoming rich over a single bet would be George Soros: https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/08/george-soros-ban... to him, perhaps the result was so clear as to be considered arbitrage
