McBee, bot switches between test and live depending on how you set it up.
works well if you have a basic loss recovery system. and I've used it successfully for a while now, only problem that ever comes up is if you get caught in between the AU and UK crossover - I only bet on AU markets now to make it easier to manage and this makes enough money to not worry about UK/US.
I use the simple sequence staking plan to only bet 0.01 on my 'test' bets then jump it up to 2% of my bank for the real bets. Loss recovery is almost always 100% but I guess it can really be anything as long as you adjust the 'switch to sim...' setting to match it.
Need to be patient with it as you may only get one or two 'live' bets a day.
I only bet on AU horses (win), 6-15 runners, overround 95%-105%, and only really ever play around with the first 3 favs (liquidity is pretty low for the others).
a couple of examples -
lay 1st fav, 3.00 - 5.00, start in sim and switch to live after 2 losses, switch back to sim after 1 win, 100% loss recovery.
back 1st fav, 2.20 - 3.20, start in sim and switch to live after 5 losses, switch back to sim after 1 win, 100% loss recovery.
lay 3rd fav, 1st fav is 'required' to be under 3.00, start in sim and switch to live after 1 loss, switch back to sim after 1 win, 100% loss recovery.
As you can see all I'm doing is getting the first part of a losing run out of the way so I can jump in with my first bet where I choose (and can afford).
