Arbitrage bots are way too risky

All I hear from this forum is that the only way I can profit with a flash loan is I create my own arbitrage bot and I fund $800-$1600 worth of Ethereum upfront to cover for gas fees.

I've never made that much money in my life, and even if I had like $3200, this would still be really risky.

Again. EIGHT HUNDRED TO SIXTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH OF ETHEREUM.

I'm not sure if I can spend much less in BSC or Polygon.

Yeah, I seem to get the same... Always a minimum 0.5ETH to cover bot and fees... Have you found any viable ones in the past couple months?? As you say, it is risky for that amount of cash when you don't have it, but I'm sure you will always find the cash if you know that it works.. (I know I will!) I'm always worried that there is some backend code, that will drain my wallet... just my insecurities I guess..
