General discussion about Bf Bot Manager v3 software for Betfair, Betdaq and Matchbook betting exchanges

After blowing my bank numerous times over the years, I decided to just sit back and watch BF Bot Manager do its job. I quickly learned that only 2 of the bots were consistently profitable for me out of the box - Horses Lay the fav and Greyhounds Lay trap 1.

Stakes quickly got out of control and I ended up switching off both bots too early. Horses were £408 in the red and Dogs were £106 in the red. If I had let both run, both would have won back the losses quite quickly, wiuth a heathy profit.

I started again with the Horses, £0.01 stakes. Watching it run over a few days, it never had more than 4 losses in a row. It's the emotional baggage that trips me up everytime, the paanic over the possibility of a huge loss that inevitibly leads to poor choices.

I've scaled the penny stakes up over the weeks, now at £3 without excessive worrying if there's a few losses in a row.

I now have UK, Ireland and US horses and have just added the dogs.


RSA, IND, AUS and NZL horses don't work great in my part of the world. Even US is dodgy sometimes, especially the Lousiana track.

As of right now, quite significant earnings (for me) of £150 per day are usual.

I have a few little tweaks in place, of course, but all in all BF Bot Manager works as-is. The big trick is learning to allow the software do its job. Start small and take note.

Example strategies that come with V3 are just examples. There is not any guarantee that those strategies will make any profit. Those strategies are there only to help you learn how to use V3. If you manage to make profit with those strategies then that is great, but please test it all carefully and start with small stakes.

Yes, I have a few little tweaks in place.
