It's possible but you have to determine if the time and effort is worth the profit. Unless you had huge amounts to play around with I'm sure you'd be gambling a lot to make a very small return.
Have a look at the different markets, different currencies and see if you can find a opportunity where someone is paying a premium on coins.

Theoretically it's possible but it's not easy. You have to have open accounts on all major exchanges and have verifications done as well. Then you have to take a risk by holding funds on these exchanges. At the end you have to be at the right place at the right time.
And if you have done all of the above, you will probably get beat to the arbitrage opportunities by many bots that are currently operating on many exchanges. So as you can see, there are opportunities but you won't get rich by doing it.

I remember having seen before a thread about arbitraging using custom made scripts and it involves holding different altcoins in several exchangers. Basically the bot will perform tx on your behalf but it also means holdjng sizable amount of funds to even generate a decent return.

Well, not appropriate example to use a so much risky exchange.... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1090193.0Let's pick BTC/EUR which has huge spreads between exchanges:
Cryptsy 261 Buy offer 3.5 BTC BTC-e 198.18 Sell offer 4.25 BTC
Does anyone still use Cryptsy?

I think yes you can do arbitrage with bitcoins. But it doesn't worth it, you have to open accounts on many exchanges and have both bitcoins and cash in them, so I think you need some good amount of money initially to be profitable in it.

I used to Arbitrage extremely well selling to CampBX, there was literally $40/BTC discrepancies between them and other exchanges. Plus I had an investor from India who trusted me, which was a blessing.

arbtirage is possible, but the benefits only a few. you have to have a lot of capital to do this. little capital just wasting your time with meager earnings.

Arbitrage opportunity are very hard to find but it's always better then simple trading so please give me some tips how can i look for arbitrage sites and opportunities? Yes, there are many forms of arbitrage with bitcoins. One way is to keep charts open on multiple exchanges, and currency pairs. Try to identify which exchanges are the "leading indicators." You will find that some exchanges will make big moves and the others will follow. The Chinese trade more bitcoins than any other country. US is second. Keep that in mind as well. Also, some exchanges offer no fees on limit orders, so you can watch the buy and sell walls and just play the spread. However, this is a dangerous strategy because if the market moves fast, you can lose a lot.

You actually just need some common sense (no pun intended) to know how arbitrage works. Yet, there are several types of arbitrage that goes with the market. It's just like bidding. The highest one wins. Hope you get my point.
