I'm with Fairbot and it pretty much serves my needs. I've not used BFBM or Betangel so can't comment though from what I've seen on here and elsewhere, I'd choose BFBM of the 2.

Setting up multiple events and strategies on Fairbot can be a bit of a pain but I guess that can help you stick to trying to nail just one strategy and prevent overtrading....

ps @Ryan , I've had a go at updating the Fairbot section of the doc below. However, it'd be handy if anyone with Fairbot experience can take a look and feel free to correct.

@karl-pick like Dan I'm currently a Fairbot user. I like it and the program is easy to use but once my sub comes up for renewal ill be taking a free trial of BFBM with a view of switching

For me the fact that you horse racing qualifiers will load automatically is massive and fingers crossed this happens with the football too. This would be worth the subscription alone

The other main thing i want that Fairbot doesn't currently offer is the option to have separate banks for different strategies.

Id suggest using the free trials of the various software and seeing how you get on but i imagine increasingly more and more people will move over to BFBM

@karl-pick +1 for BFBM

Started on Fairbot, moved over to BFBM - no regrets.

Plus it pulls in the horses automatically. No brainer!

@karl-pick what do you mean someone else having your money? Automation is a subscription but you still have full ownership/ responsibility of your trades.

I'm biased and will never buy any betangel stuff. I currently use Fairbot and am really happy with it. Had it for about 6 months and no issues. The customer service is really good, but it is limited in that you can only trade 1 bot per market, however, on the fairbot thread there are a few examples of how people have gotten around that.

However, I'm thinking of getting a month's subscription to BFBM when my current one nears the end. The reason is that I like to tinker with strategies and I think having separate banks for separate strategies will be easier to manage.

@karl-pick I'll refer you to some of the old heads Karl, fairly new to it all myself!

@john-folan yes it's friggin awesome!

ADVISE PLEASE....So I have been looking at Automation, but worried about someone else having my money, but I am gonna take the plunge!!
Can I ask you Long Term users just from your experiences, Which of the BIG three is the best for Horse Racing?
And Which membership would you recommend as there is different levels.

Hopefully thanks!!

@ryan I posted additional instructions a week or two ago on the BFBM thread on how to set up BFBM to auto-import selections from the Horse Racing software, might be of some use too.

That’s just brilliant isn’t it? Literally have to do nothing

@Everyone I've put this together as a start guide for automating your trades with BTC and the softwares.

It would be great if anybody who uses the software to help show how to get the selections from BTC into the respective softwares!

There is a guide on my bfbot thread in the first post. It is horse related but would work for football as well

Hi Guys

been tracking a S&F strategy for the past year and results (so far) shows that is profitable long term with 146 win and 31 lose

The strategy consist on enter on the over 0,5 Second half market when the odd hit 1.40 (on pre selected match)

The only problem with this strategy that you have to login on Betfair at half time and set the stake and the odd but lot of time don't have time to do so as busy at work or somewhere else.

So far the results seems really positive was wondering if it could be set as a set and forget strategy via Automation

any ideas?

Thanks

You could certainly do this in Fairbot and I'd assume it can be set up in other trading software with automation functionality.

@dan-mackinnon I've used EUKHost for a number of years without a single issue. Not sure how they compare on price to others, at the time they were one of the most competitive Windows VPS providers.

@dan-mackinnon I use hostworld - no problems so far

@Everyone

Hey Gang! I'm on my 4th day of the 15 day trial of Fairbot, & I go ahead today with some very small stake's live testing of the very simple horse racing strategy automation.

It would be great to just apply the automation to a whole gamut of races & cut the manual checks! making the whole process of making your selections slicker & quicker!

I've not found a way to exclude certain parameters withing the rules on Fairbot, namely Class & Course Characteristics (Galloping ect) & I'm wondering if Bet Angel or any other software will allow it? Perhaps by MS Excel integration which I know Bet Angel supports?

What would anyone recommend for a VPS? I'm currently using Time4VPS but had issues with it not recognising Betfair in that country so had to also get a VPN. It's been OK but wanted to look around to see what others are out there.

Unfortunately, my internet is so unreliable I need a VPS

@greg-mitchell Fairbot only has automation for Betfair though there's a manual trade version for Betdaq

@greg-mitchell BFBM also do versions for Matchbook and Betdaq

Anyone know of any Software which can automate trading on other exchanges? I know Bet Angel do a Betdaq version, just wondering about any others for Betdaq, Matchbook etc?
