"Latency Arbitrage is an important concept when discussing High Frequency Trading, and refers to the fact that different people and firms receive market data at different times. These time differences, known as latencies, may be as small as a billionth of a nanosecond, but in the world of high speed trading, such differences can be crucial."

In the world of BF, change billionth of a nanosecond to anywhere between 3-8 seconds for some of their inplay markets!
