1 Highlights & News
1.1 GK Goal Knowledge
1.1 New Betting Bot “GK05.01” from GK Goal Knowledge available – No subscriptions, it uses a 50-50 profit share model.
Average profit +21% increase on the bank per month. (Based on 3 months of data and 1,360 markets.)
My Bot Making Service and 1-to-1 Online Sessions allow me to meet a variety of people and their betting ideas.
Some bots struggle to make a profit, and some bots hit green right from the start. Most people are quite guarded about their bots, but sometimes I can persuade them to share one of their bots. Greg is one of those guys.
Greg comes from a background of successful manual trading on Betfair. He had working trading methods and wanted to see if it was possible to automate his system so that he could spend more time back in the real world.
Greg came to me with over 50 bot strategy ideas about 4 months ago. And many of those bots are still in the green. In our weekly sessions we have built, honed, duplicated, analysed and expanded this bot set to nearly 200 bots.
He has now agreed to share one of those bots with us on a 50-50 profit share basis. It is the best performing of all his bots.
+30 units profit in 4 months on £1 level stakes since July 7th 2025 after 1,723 markets.
+64% increase in 3 months on a £100 Whitaker Staking bank since August 8th 2025 after 1,360 markets.
(2025-11-13 data)
Note: These are in play bets, so Australia residents will need a non-AUS VPS to run this bot.
I think we can all agree that +65% in 3 months is really good on Whitaker Stakes (smart level stakes).
There are nearly 2,000 bets worth of data to prove this is a real value trend and a working bot.
Here are the screenshots from the last 3 months for level stakes and Whitaker Staking.
GK05.01 1 GBP Level stakes
GK05.01 100 GBP Whitaker Staking bank
How the profit share model works:
For GK05.01, we are using a 50% profit share model. It seems fairer than monthly subscriptions.
At the start, you need to pay a one-time £50 fee to register and show you are serious. (In my experience, people do not value “free” bots and we need a token of sincerity.)
Then, you tell me the bank size you want to allot to the bot. (Minimum 1k GBP / 1k EUR / 2k AUD equivalent) And then I send you a bot locked to that stake and has an expiry date. (Too many people edit the bot stakes mid-month and turn winning months into losing months)
You run the bot for about 1 month until the 14th of the next month and then send me a screenshot of the bot and pay 50% of the profit to me. GK05.01 months run 15th to 14th. profit is based on your bot screenshot, not mine.
You only pay if there is new profit.
If a month ends in profit, you send me a screenshot of the bot and pay 50% of the profit. Then I send you a bot for the next monthly period.
If a month ends in a loss, you send me a screenshot of the bot. Then I send you a bot for the next monthly period. Next month’s profit share will be based on the combined profit/loss of the losing month bot and the new bot’s results. You only pay if there is new profit.
For Example:
Starting bank £1,000
Bot 1 for Month 1 +£200 profit, pay 50% of £200, you get Bot 2 for Month 2 (Your total profit is now +£100)
Bot 2 for Month 2 -£200 loss, no payment, bot shows -£200. You leave the bot there and use Bot 3 for Month 3.
Bot 3 for Month 3 +£300 profit, but minus the -£200 of Month 2 leaves +£100. pay 50% of the new £100 profit, not the month’s £300 profit. (Your total profit is now +£150)
In the case above, you made £150 profit in 3 months, and that is after £150 in profit share fees, but in the old system of a fixed £100 subscription per month you would have paid £300 for those 3 months in subscriptions. So, the profit share model is fairer.
To start, please tell me the bank size you want to run for this month.
For example, “Tom, I would like to run GK05.01 with a 2k EUR bank.”
I added his bot to my main set from November 8th.
1.2 BSG Bot Management Service
https://bettingsystemsguide.com/bot-management-service/
The main aim of my site is for you to learn how the betting tools and strategies work so that you can take control of your own betting, create your own bots and not rely on anyone else.
But I also understand that the learning curve is steep, and some of you just want me to “make it work”.
For this reason, I am now offering a BSG Bot Management Service.
With this service, I will take over your BFBM software. This can either be on your VPS or on your home PC.
This service works best with a VPS because I can log in anytime to check and edit the bots, but it can also work on your home PC.
I will go into your BFBM, setup my bots (including my private bots) and run my betting systems for you. Your betting bank and BFBM becomes an extension of the same betting systems I am using on my BFBM. Your betting bots will get the same care and attention to detail that my personal bots do.
I will provide the bots and the experience of how to run a working multi-strategy betting system.
You agree to stick to our pre-agreed betting plan. You don’t do anything to the bots. No editing or changing of any bot settings.
You should then get results similar to me.
This service operates on a 50-50 profit share on the NET profit after monthly expenses have been paid. I only win if you win.
You will still need to pay the subscription costs of the betting tools and services you choose to include in the bot system.
It also has a one-time initial £100 registration fee. (This is so people don’t get me to setup their bots for free and then disappear.)
You can download and use this Excel file to see what kinds of profit targets you can aim for with different betting bank sizes, the costs involved with it and how much NET profit you can aim for each month.
This file profit targets are based on my data as of 2025-11-4.
In the Excel file, please edit only the yellow cells.
With a £27,500 starting bank we would aim for +£2,355 profit per month and doubling the bank in 12 months.
With a £1,000 starting bank we would aim for +£96 profit per month and doubling the bank in 12 months.
If you are interested, please contact me BettingSystemsGuide@gmail.com
1.3 BFBM Bet History Autosave Program
https://bettingsystemsguide.com/product/bfbm-bet-history-autosave-program/
One big problem I have is that I have big gaps in my BFBM bet history. My bots place 1,000s of bets each week. BFBM stores up to 30,000 bets and then it starts to overwrite the older bets. That means you need to manually export the bet history sometimes so that you don’t lose it. Another problem I have is then trying to merge new and old bet history files together without having duplicate bets.
A veteran BFBM user has written a program that once a day checks for any new bets in the bet history file and then adds them to a master bet history file. We can then use this master file when we want our bet history for staking analysis and so on.
It is a brilliant piece of software and means that I will never have anymore gaps in my bet history again.
The programmer, Edwin Mancera, has agreed to sell his BFBM Bet History Autosave Program for 50 GBP. So if you also want to run this program, you can get it on this page on my site. There is also a setup manual that I wrote. Edwin is quite busy so I will be handling any enquiries about the software. Thank you for the program Edwin! It really fills a gap.
1.4 Slipstream Results AutoLogger
The BFBM Bet History Autosave Program also has a Slipstream Results AutoLogger that makes an additional separate data file for the Slipstream bets in case you need to share them with Roy. And, the really fantastic part is that he made a graphic interface so we can see our Slipstream results easily.
I only installed the program on October 11th, so I only have data since then.
The Slipstream Results AutoLogger also shows the daily ups and downs of the system in an easy to view format.
It also logs the losing run frequencies for each of the 3 strategies.
It tells you at a glance what the next stake is and the longest losing runs of each strategy.
The Slipstream Results AutoLogger is included in the BFBM Bet History Autosave Program which you can get on this page.
1.5 HedgerPro Portfolio Bet System
After some good results with the HedgerPro bots and a feeling that I am getting used to how it works.
I have now taken the next step and bought their premium quality Portfolio System for 60 GBP.
The system aims for +670 units profit per year on lay to fixed liability stakes with a historical maximum drawdown of -26 units.
http://www.portfoliobet.co.uk/
You can get a 5% discount with this code “BSG”. Don’t forget to add it at the end of the check-out process.
This set includes 59 carefully researched strategies from the HedgerPro team plus another 59 booster strategies to go with them.
All the strategies are lay strategies. The booster strategies pick a second horse to lay in those races.
You can run just the main set or both the main set and the booster set.
I am running all 118 strategies.
I have programmed them as BFBM bots with Whitaker Staking 100 GBP banks that are triggered by the HedgerPro imported tips.
My plan is once again to watch them progress over the next few weeks and make a choice to increase stakes on them or not.
It took me ages to program the bots, but I will share them with you as long as you provide proof of purchase for the Portfolio Bet set. (Forwarding the payment email should be enough. You don’t need to be my HedgerPro referral for this, just proof of purchase is fine. Let’s just try and make some profit.)
This is a premium set behind a paywall at HedgerPro so I cannot share the details of the set with you. I will update results as I can. My bots have only been running since Nov 9th so there is nothing to report yet.
Note: The Portfolio set costs a one time payment of 60 GBP for the set, but it still needs an active HedgerPro subscription to run.
1.6 VPS Cancellation Follow Up
In October I cancelled my VPS subscription and went back to running two PCs 24/7 from home with a wired connection to my internet router. This was working fine, but I noticed that occasionally the BFBMs would freeze! I found that when I had a 3rd BFBM instance running on my laptop for bot editing, then the BFBM log file said “Error: too many requests.” I took this to mean that my three PCs were making too many data requests to Betfair using the same IP address. So I think two BFBM instances running on one IP address is a physical limit to how many BFBMs you run. If you want to run more, then you will need different IP addresses (like using your Phone as a wifi spot) or to put them on a VPS. I currently have about 1,000 bots running on my 2 home PCs, 600 on one and 400 on the other. I may need to go back to have a VPS in the future if I want to add more BFBM instances.
2 Betting System Overall Results
Results -1.5% loss. -£312 on the 20k allotted bank in the last month, and -£446.5 after £134.50 costs
First losing month after 6 months of consecutive profit. But the long term data is still positive. No major changes needed.
First losing month in a while, mainly due to bot settings
Betaminic back strategies and HedgerPro strategies performed best.
But my private lay strategies had a bad month.
In addition to that, the bot settings I made for the Slipstream bots struggled to smoothly place all higher stakes and this led to the manual bettors making profit while the automated bettors made a loss. Since then, I have made an updated bot set for the Slipstream bots that tries to spread bets out more for the football strategies, changes the staking settings and also adds market liquidity check rules.
November 14th Betting System Rank by Points Increase
Costs:
BSG Draw System 50% profit share (£50 one time registration fee)

Betaminic £79 (90 EUR) (12 month subscription gets a 10% discount) 12 months for £948
HedgerPro £20 per month (12 month subscription gets a 50% discount) 12 months for £240
InPlayTrading data feed IPT £20 (12 month subscription gets a 40% discount) 12 months for £240
Bf Bot Manager BFBM £12.50 (12 month subscription gets a 60% discount) 12 months for £150

Total: £134.5 per month (12 months for £1,614)
Results since June 2023 +11k in just over 2 years
When I have a losing month, I always go back to the original data to make sure the reasons why I started following these strategies are still valid. If the long term data is still good, I carry on. But if the long term data is no longer as good as it was, then I drop those strategies.
3 Tom’s Betaminic Back System Results
https://bettingsystemsguide.com/betting-strategies/
+421.41 on a 5k bank (+8.43 points) / Ave. +5.36% per month
The Betaminic back strategies had a winning month of +8.43 points with Whitaker Staking.
The average of +5.89 points per month is decent.
I went back through my data to make it much easier to see how each strategy is performing on Betfair Exchange odds with Whitaker Staking.
The 80% win rate is looking good!
I can see some strategies struggling, such as MDDE Big vs Good – Top Leagues which only has one winning month and has a monthly average of -4.73 points loss.
In this case I look at the bot data and check how many bets has this bot placed?
And I see it has only had 43 bets. This is not enough data for me to judge this strategy.
I will let it keep going until it hits 1000 bets or -5k on its bank.
Value strategies should not be judged by “x months of losses”. They should be judged by bet numbers and the long term data.
I have often seen value strategies go many months with losses and then have one or two big jumps in a few months, ad it is these profit jumps that lead to the overall positive value. This is why we need to trust the data we first researched that made us want to follow this strategy. In this bot’s case, we are not just following back tested data, but we are following an MDDE version of the base strategy that has been running for several months and making profit long term.
If we look on the Betaminic site, we can see its Since Shared results show a poor run recently. But even with that poor run it is in profit with +1.56% yield after 1,413 bets on Pinnacle closing odds, the lowest in the betting market. Betfair Exchange odds will be higher and Whitaker Staking will be more efficient with the bank.
Some people might look at this graph and think it has stopped working, but I think there is a distinct chance the strategy results will return to their trend line with a +50 unit profit to get back to its previous +70 high. This is what I am staying in for.
If we look at all 13 years of the original strategy data including the data used for researching, it in the first place then we can see those long periods of flatness or slow declines and the jumps up or slow increases up. This kind of value betting needs a long term commitment to the strategy and giving it a chance to repeat its trend.
We can also see that MDDE A 9 and MDDE ZA101 do the best with monthly averages of +4.12 and +3.72 points per month.
But don’t make the other common mistake and increase stakes on the strategies with the best recent performance because you may have just missed a jump and a losing or flat run may be due. This is another reason to pick and stick with a staking plan long term as well. Knee-jerk reactions lead to catching losing runs or missing winning runs for these kinds of value strategies.
The Betaminic Since Shared data looks good for these strategies, too.
Also, please look carefully and see how both of these strategies also have their own losing runs and sudden jumps.
If we had done a review and stopped them at those points, we would have missed out on the current profits.
Visit this page for how to setup and follow the MDDE16: Betaminic back strategies
I also have a new set of 10 strategies I decided to add as a new set based on current data.
They are based on profit ranking and +500 Since Shared bets.
They have not had a great start, but it is early days.
For new people, I recommend the MDDE16 set.
MDDE16 bot results
Exit points?
Run each strategy until it reaches 1000 bets and is not in profit OR until it hits -5k on its bank.
Stake increases? None planned for 12 months.
Profit taking? Everything above the initial 5k can be withdraw monthly as profit.
Strategy Set Trackers
For Betaminic strategies, it is important to treat each strategy separately. Just because a group of strategies is making a loss, does not mean that the backtesting method does not work, it just means that the aggregate results are negative.
Below I show some long term 1 Level Stakes and 100 Bank Whitaker Staking bots that have data since March 24th 2025.
These are not MDDE strategies, but the original base strategies.
You can use this as a menu of possible Betaminic strategies to investigate further if you want.
With the Level Stakes and Whitaker Stakes lined up together, you can see how the staking plan affects results.
With the Whitaker staking results, that P/L number is = the % increase on the allotted bank, so +44 means a +44% increase on whatever sized bank was given to it. Any Whitaker staking loss bigger than -100 means the bank was bankrupted. None yet! And with Whitaker staking, the bank is used fully, so drops of -50% are perfectly natural and part of the staking plan normal function.
The Whitaker bots are 100 banks, so if you see +20 in profit, that means the bank increased by 20% since March 24th.
The top 10 performing strategies are shown below (Bots started March 24th 2025)
+44% for “A 9”!
Again, focus on bet numbers, not calendar months!
Here I would also strongly like to recommend people to view strategies in terms of bet numbers, not calendar months. With a strategy that has 9 bets per month, 15 months was just 135 bets, which is not enough to judge if a strategy has stopped working or not. It is so few bets that any profit or loss in this period is almost random whether it will be up or down. With big data betting, we are saying that over a period of 500-1000 bets we hope to see the trend express itself again. 100 bets is just too few to judge anything. So we should not look at how many months of profit or loss a strategy has, but how many bets it has made. It would be better to look at 100 bet chunks instead of months and judge a strategy over its last 1,000 bets instead of its last calendar year.
Follow Multiple Strategies to Spread Risk
But how do we cover subscription costs with a strategy that has long flat periods? The answer is that we need to follow multiple strategies in a mixed portfolio set so that they help each other out when some have long flat or negative periods. If we believe the core trend behind it, then we should follow it long term and give ourselves a chance to catch that trend repeating.
4 Betaminic Lay Strategies
https://bettingsystemsguide.com/lay-betting-system/
My private lay strategies had a losing month of -25 points.
My excel file seems to have logged different figures on Oct 15th, but it is still a loss either way.
I had a look at the 7 strategies in the lay set, and saw that 3 of them had gone negative long term.
I have removed those 3 strategies.
I then went back and checked the data so far for the remaining 4 bots.
It averaged +26% average per month
And made +259% in 11 months
And I also went back through old data to see how the bots performed monthly.
Since we are going back after the fact to keep winning strategies and get rid of losing strategies, there is an element of cherry-picking or over-fitting and we should be very careful of that kind of analysis. But even with that, I am hopeful that the remaining 4 strategies will repeat their trend over time since each of them has had nearly 1000 real bets on my BFBM.
I’m sorry that I cannot share these with you unless you use the BSG Bot Management Service, but I can give you a big hint to go and test out lay strategies researched in the Betamin Builder yourselves.
For the Betaminic lays, I have now split the bots up into their separate strategies instead of as one bot.
Instead of 7 strategies, I will just run the 4 best performing.
Bots started Jan 11th 2025
There is an amount of crossover with the strategies, so this bot set tests what happens if we only bet on duplcaites where a selection is double selected by 2 or more strategies.
+8.4% after 6 weeks so far.
5 Slipstream
https://bettingsystemsguide.com/betting-syndicate/
It was a tough month for Slipstream automated bettors. And I have to take a lot of responsibility for that.
The manual bettors had a winning month, but the automated bettors had a losing month.
This was due to my bot settings.
It seems there was a misunderstanding between me and Roy about some settings. I had not explained it thoroughly and the problems only became apparent when stakes got higher.
The bots have now been updated to try and avoid those problems happening again.
What happened?
The HTdraw bot went to the higher steps on the staking ladder. All bots were betting at exactly the same time at the current available odds. This meant that even if the odds level of 2.02 had £500 available, if some cheeky person has then offered £2 at 2.04 just above the current main back price to be first in the queue, then everyone bet at that price with a large amount of money that then sits there unmatched until kick-off. The next bots that bet after that might then bet at a lower price and might even get matched or partially matched. When the match plays out and the bet wins, then the manual bettors are all fine and back to step 1 on the staking ladder, but some of the automated bots only got partially matched, and then reset themselves to step 1 even though they did not recover their losses. In addition, other bots did not get matched at all and still think they are in recovery mode and bet with large stakes on the next match. This leads to some bots in the same group getting out of step with each other.
All the tips by Roy have equal value it seems. It is not the case, as I mistakenly suggested, that Roy takes extra care with picks when people are on higher staking levels. The selection method is all the same and each tip is of equal quality.
Based on that, and according to the staking analysis, bots getting out of step with each other is not a problem. They can be run as separate bots as long as they are let to run and recover their losses as the staking plan intends.
Also, a bot being 100% unmatched and then placing the same recovery stake on the next bet is also okay, because it is similar to the bots getting out of step. Eventually they will recover their bank.
The big problem comes when a partially matched bet wins and then the bot thinks it has recovered its losses when it has not and then it goes back to step 1.
To avoid this in future, I have split the HTdraw bot and the Unders bot into 10 bots instead of 6. The Unders bot is in a very liquid market and does not really need 10 bots, but I am being over cautious.
In addition, I have set the bots to ask for -2 ticks on the current price. This ensures we avoid the risk of cheeky £2 first-in-the-queue bets that offer no real liquidity at that price level.
In addition to that, I have added a liquidity rule so that the bot won’t even attempt to place a bet unless a certain amount of money is available on the combined top 3 prices. (£75 for HTdraw and Unders, £100 for Rippled) This should significantly reduce the chances of partially matched stakes. It does mean that the bot might not bet when there is enough money for the lower staking steps to get matched, purely because of the liquidity rule. But these are big banks and we want to avoid the issues we faced before. We have to accept that there will be an amount of inefficiency that comes from automated betting over manual betting, but the trade-off is getting our time back. As we get older, we all understand that once you reach a certain level of income, time is worth more than money.
Another problem was that I had wrongly suggested to people that running all three strategies on one or two 5k banks was enough. As the bets went up the staking ladder on two strategies at the same time, it became obvious that two 5k banks are needed at absolute minimum and, in fact, I should have listened to Roy in the beginning and stuck to his rule of a 5k bank per strategy. (All of the funds don’t need to be in the Betfair account, but they need to be available for deposit into Betfair if needed at key moments. But that can be tricky for people who have deposit limits on their Betfair accounts.)
I am sorry for the losses people had because of my bot settings and my incorrect advice. I will try to be much more conservative in future.
Some people are following individual strategies so I separate the results in this table below.
You can see the total points increase for each strategy. Note that 50% of your total profit is shared each 28-day cycle.
The table also shows the highs/lows and average points profit for each strategy.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These results are my personal bot results with this system. The official automated bots were updated on October 29th 2025. Manual bettors have different results.
Bot results
This bot set was stopped on Oct 27th. I emailed the people I knew and told them to stop their bots because I was panicking about the feedback I was getting about lapsed bets and bots being out of step. It seems the next two HTdraw selections were winning selections that would have recovered a lot of the losses and that automated bettors missed out on.
When I share my systems with people, they often panic after a losing run and stop the bots, then miss some wins. This is often a natural response to following a new system they are not familiar with. It seems I did exactly the same thing I tell others not to do, which is panic and switch bots off that the system owner says are fine.
In addition, my PC froze on Saturday Oct 25th and missed the bets on that day. So my results differ from other people’s
Compared to others, it seems I got more of my stakes matched when others did not.
So I want to make it absolutely clear that these bot results are a bit unfair on Roy since they do not really reflect how his system performed this month. But my website is based on my betting results as a betting diary and not an official log of a system’s results. Official results are available from the relevant websites or system owners.
I made edits to the bots and new bots started on Oct 29th.
I took my snapshot on November 14th and Rippled was in the middle of a recovery phase then which makes it look like it was in a slight loss, but it soon recovered and is now +590 GBP on Nov 17th.
Rippled has been a really good performer.
You can choose which Slipstream strategy you want to follow.
I would recommend either Rippled (best profit / lots of liquidity) or Unders (least volatile / lots of liquidity) at the moment.

6 Tom’s BSG Draw System Results
Results +£6.47 is +0.1 points on a 5k bank / Ave. +10% per month
(My BFBM Autobot)
https://bettingsystemsguide.com/bsg-draw-system/
+10% average per month with Whitaker Staking in the last 5 months
The FT Draw bot from the BSG Draw System had a flat month.
But the long term data remains positive.
I am also testing some interesting variations on the core trend bot and will let you know if they can improve on the current bot.
BSG Draws KEY DATA
Main BSG betting bank bot results
Average 10% per month
When going through my various bots, I found that:
My 5k bank whitaker staking bot made +0.01% from 50 winning markets from 131 markets entered.
My 100 bank whitaker staking bot made -0.75% from 57 winning markets from 131 markets entered.
My 1 GBP level stakes bot made -9 units from 59 winning markets from 142 markets entered.
This left me scratching my head and I had to look closer.
This could be from a number of things, but my guesses are:
The larger bank bots sometimes run out of account funds to enter a market. If the entire stake is not available in the account funds, it won’t bet and returns an error of “insufficient funds” in the BFBM log fie.
The levels stakes bot is slightly simpler than the Whitaker staking bots and can get its bets in a split second before the others.
I confirmed this when I found that my original bot that has many filters that need to be checked before bets can be placed actually places less fewer bets than the exact same bot that is triggered by the TippingSports tips! So, for hardcore bot programmers it may be worth considering having a bot that find qualifying fixtures and sends those selections to TippingSports and then back to your own BFBM and then have a simpler bot that bets inplay on those fixtures without the complicated pre-match form and odds filters.
Also, my Pc has 400 bots on it and I noticed the 131 bets placed by my bigger bots were not the same 131 matches. It seems I am overloading my PC and the software struggles to go though all market data on peak weekend times.
But I am at my maximum PC capacity and cannot add another PC at home. I would need another VPS.
But just adding more and more bots could outstrip my banks ability to cope.
Bank sizes
I realize that in my own betting I have been too aggressive with my banks.
Even though they share the bank, they still run out of money.
I have come up with a new rule of thumb to be even more conservative on my myself.
One 1k Whitaker Staking bank can run up to two systems placing bets on different markets.
For each additional system we add, we need to increase the working bank by +50%.
Three systems = 1.5k working bank, but still 1k banks for each system.
Four systems = 2k working bank, but still 1k banks for each system.
Five systems = 2.5k working bank, but still 1k banks for each system.
And so on.
So I need to be more judicious in choosing which systems to follow with larger banks.
I still want to have lots of test bots, but I need to more careful about how many large stakes bots I have going.
1 GBP level stakes bot
Average +8 units per month
100 GBP starting bank with Whitaker Staking
Average +14% per month
I will show the results of my various test bots here for people who are trying to make their own BFBM autobots, I think this is a good example of how, if you have a base trend with even a sliver of value (1% ROI), then by trying other bot settings and related markets, you may be able to find more value in them. The dates that the bots started are on the right.
7 Developing your own BFBM bots
Trying to develop your own BFBM autobots is a long term process that needs patience and data gathering.
When managing test bots and thinking about the next stage of moving test bots from test mode to main bank mode or even a new test set. I recommend keeping groups of test bots and main bank bots separate.
In practice that means learning how to:
- Export all bots as a “snapshot save” that we view as a recovery point if we ever want to roll back all the bots to this point, or if in the future we ever want to check back and see the bot data at this point in time.
- Duplicate a good bot.
- Edit its name and group name.
- Edit its stake.
- Note the start date in the description.
- Start the new bot.
- Save the new snapshot save.
BFBM Bot Snapshot Saves
I do this snapshot save weekly or monthly. This is so that if a bot I did not have my eye on suddenly does well, I can go back and track its progress to see its history in more detail. So I have monthly saves going back years now. This is also useful when you want to export a bot set to another BFBM instance just for editing or reviewing old sets. I have my Real Mode BFBM on a VPS, my Simulation Mode BFBM on an 2nd hand desktop PC and my Editing/Review BFBM on my work laptop. One BFBM licence can be used with one Betfair account on unlimited numbers of devices. Just one BFBM license is enough for your BFBM bot empire.
Keep Original Test Bots Running
Keep the original test bots running forever as they are on 1 GBP bets. Let them gather data for as long as you can, or until this betting system is deemed dead. It will be very useful to have the original 1 GBP level stakes bots running long term, and then keeping other test bots or main betting bots separate.
It is from the long, long term test bots we can see how trends change overtime.
And now, after 1,025 bets of data, it seems A2.3 (no trade out) is slightly beating A2.4.1 (trade out at 1.5).
I will wait another month before making any changes (mainly because it has taken me 4 days to write this newsletter and I am exhausted.) But I might end up making a mid-month change.
BSG Draw Original Test Bots
In addition to that I have another set of test bots that started at the same time to compare results.
More test bots (All June 23rd to Nov 14th )
More test bots, this time Whitaker 100 GBP bank bots (All Nov 15 to Nov 18)
Note that these are whitaker staking banks, so +17 = +17% increase on the starting bank!
The data can get overwhelming, but basically we are waiting for 500-1000 markets worth of data before we start judging bots.
8 HedgerPro
+204.14 = +4 points on a 5k bank
https://bettingsystemsguide.com/hedger-pro-horse-racing/
It could have been a great month for my set, but the new HP46 strategy I added in had an unlucky month.
If I had not added that one, it would have been +2,300 this month. Ah, well.
I will keep my method as consistent as possible.
My method here has been to run all the free public strategies that come with my HedgerPro 12-month subscription on £1 stakes and £100 Whitaker Staking Banks. Then each month I use the strategies with the best long term results so far in my main betting set. I try to give higher priority to strategies with more bets worth of data to back up their results.
The HP46 long term results have also turned negative, so I will remove that strategy from the set.
The other strategies are still in profit long term, so they stay.
I feel like I have settled on these 9 strategies a bit more firmly now, so I went back through their individual monthly results to see what they looked like and their monthly profit ranges.
For these 9 strategies, they made +32% average per month with Whitaker Staking in the last 8 months
Now those are some nice numbers. What are the chances of it repeating over the next 8 months? All fingers crossed.
HedgerPro Tracker Bots
I am also tracking all the other available free strategies with 1 GBP level stakes or 100 GBP Whitaker Staking plans.
I then use the strategies that are in profit with Whitaker Staking and have over 100 bets of data.
I paste their results here:
Free Strategies V1 HP01-HP14 March 16th to Nov 14th
The HedgerPro team recommends people to use the V3 “OH” Overhaul set that is their latest and most up to date set.
I am keeping the original V1 set going just out of personal interest.
Free Strategies V2
The HedgerPro team said the V2 strategies are older versions of the V3 strategies and are not meant to be used, so I have removed them from my testing set.
Free Strategies V3 “Overhaul OH” HP32-HP46 June 14th to Nov 14th
For next month, I will be using x9 HedgerPro strategies using Whitaker NLC ELS5/BN1k staking settings with a 5k bank.
I remove 1 strategy based on its long term test bot results.
REMOVE
HP46 Lay V1 OH
Current set of 9 HedgerPro Strategies Set Starting Point for Nov 15th
I am settling on these 9 strategies
Two started on March 16th. Seven started on Jun 15th.
Here are the bot screenshots of their progress. (This is why having bot snapshot saves can be useful when you want to backtrack and check data.)
9 Tom’s IPT InPlayTrading System Results
–£-183.18
https://bettingsystemsguide.com/ipt-in-play-trading-scanner-live-data-feed/
These bots are my efforts to turn my manual in-play betting into autobots.
The bots with “BM” in the name use Betaminic strategies as market selectors. Then if the in-play filters are met, it will place bets.
The bots with “BFBM” in the name use BFBM rules as market selectors. Then if the in-play filters are met, it will place bets.
Group 06’s IPT/BFBM in-play bots denote if they are using the IPT in-play data feed or BFBM in-play data feed.
Very early days, and as I suspected, not many bets due to the strictness of my ideal in-play betting rules that I would often bend when betting manually. Let’s see if sticking to the rules will make profit.
These bots get few bets, so I am going to have to leave them a long time to get to 500 markets, or I will have to take a leap of faith and increase stakes myself. But for the moment I will let them carry on with a 500 bank to gather data.
IPT Data Feed

10 Summary of monthly results
I have tried to make it easier to get an image of the monthly results ,the profit/loss ranges and % of winning months.
Please note these are my bot results and these results may differ from the official results on each service’s website.
*Data for these strategies goes back further than the months listed above, but the above results are from using the current staking system and bot settings which have been revised and improved over time.
I have added an excel file on my website that tries to make it easier to calculate potential profit targets after costs if systems are followed as part of a 12-month plan.
https://bettingsystemsguide.com/bot-management-service/
And of course, please remember that past results do not guarantee future results. But they give us a better starting point to plan our betting systems.
11 Bank sizes
(This is repeated form a previous section because it is important not to miss.)
I realize that in my own betting I have been too aggressive with my banks.
Even though they share the bank, they still run out of money.
I have come up with a new rule of thumb to be even more conservative on my myself.
One 1k Whitaker Staking bank can run up to two systems placing bets on different markets.
For each additional system we add, we need to increase the working bank by +50%.
Three systems = 1.5k working bank, but still 1k banks for each system.
Four systems = 2k working bank, but still 1k banks for each system.
Five systems = 2.5k working bank, but still 1k banks for each system.
And so on.
So I need to be more judicious in choosing which systems to follow with larger banks.
I still want to have lots of test bots, but I need to more careful about how many large stakes bots I have going.
The excel planning file includes that function, so try to reduce system bank size so that the final recommended bank total equals your accounts funds or less. Don’t overstretch your account funds.

15 Bot Making Service
I can make your custom Bot Sets for Bf Bot Manager
https://bettingsystemsguide.com/make-automated-sports-betting-bots/
I can help you make automated betting bots in Bf Bot Manager for the Betfair Exchange.
Sign up for my BF Bot Manager 1-month support subscription and I will help you build, test and improve your betting bots.
https://bettingsystemsguide.com/product/bsg-it-support-1-month/
The main thing I offer is custom bot making and help with learning how BFBM works since it is so complex. If you are trying to make a bot, I can help make it for you and answer any specific questions you have about your bots as part of your betting system project. I have years of BFBM experience and instead of reading the entire manual and watching all the tutorial videos, you can just ask me. But it takes time to answer emails and make videos, so that is why it needs a 1-month subscription to my support service. Each time you ask the BFBM support a question, you need to enter a lot of details and explain your project again to them, but with me, it is much easier to get things done since I am a fellow bettor, and I have seen and made many, many kinds of bots. BFBM plays things safe with their answers, but I try to give real, practical answers that have a chance of making profit.
If you want my help learning BFBM, building bots and/or want to copy my betting system, please purchase a support subscription and I can help you further. https://bettingsystemsguide.com/product/bsg-it-support-1-month/
The ultimate aim is for you to learn how the software works so that you can take control of your own betting, create your own bots and not rely on anyone else. At the beginning, many people just ask to copy my system. That is fine, but in the long term it is better to make your own bots and choose your own strategies. But my subscription includes me helping you setup and use my system. I do not sell profitable betting systems that make profit every month. but I share my betting bots that work for me as a starting point for building your own betting system. I don’t guarantee profit for anyone, but the systems I use have made profit for me in the past, so I continue to use them, and I can share and explain how I use them with you.

16 1-to-1 Online Sessions
https://bettingsystemsguide.com/1-to-1-online-sessions/
I can also help you with online sessions where we talk directly.
This can be a single session where we troubleshoot a specific problem.
Or it can be for if you want to get some personalized advice for planning and developing your betting system.
Or it can be part of a multiple session training course aimed at learning how to use the BFBM software better, or any of the other online tools I introduce on my website.
Or it can be part of regular weekly or monthly sessions where I help you build, edit and manage your betting system. People who have regular sessions with me have the highest chances of success. This is because running a betting system in partnership with a fellow bettor increases the chances of success since you have to justify and explain every strategic betting decision you make.
1-to-1 online sessions can be done in two ways:
- A) Using Google Meet to screenshare your screen with me. I can then instruct you on how to edit your bots. I can also screenshare to show you things on my PC. This is often the better choice for learning the software since you have to click everything yourself.
- B) Using TeamViewer where I am able to take control of your desktop and make edits for you in BFBM, or to check settings quickly without having to explain each step. This is often the better choice if you want me to troubleshoot or edit something on your PC as fast and smoothly as possible.
Price
1-to-1 sessions cost £60 for 60 minutes.
(There is a +£10 fee for every 10 minute period of extra time over the initial 60 minutes.)
The initial £60 fee is paid before the session, and any extra time is billed afterwards.
Email me at BettingSystemsGuide@gmail.com for this week’s open time slots.
The ultimate aim is for you to learn how the software works so that you can take control of your own betting, create your own bots and not rely on anyone else.
17 Support
BSG-BFBM IT Support Subscribers
BSG Subscribers can ask me for a custom bot set so you don’t have to do all the editing yourself if you want to change things.
I will customize your bot set as you want it. (Bank size, staking settings, market conditions, etc.)
I will explain any questions you may have about the bot set. This can save you a lot of time in reading pages of PDFs.
I will help you to make any other bot sets that you are trying to develop. (Betaminic, BFBM, IPT, HedgerPro, etc.)
You get all 3 of my betting books in PDF form if you don’t have them yet.
Please buy a subscription https://bettingsystemsguide.com/product/bsg-it-support-1-month/
and email me BettingSystemsGuide@gmail.com to let me know what kind of bot set you want.
Non-BSG Subscribers
Non-subscribers can still email me with questions, get my current bot sets and be on my newsletter list. But priority goes to my BSG IT Support subscribers so there may be a wait sometimes before I reply.
You can read the BSG website guides, watch my videos and read the BFBM manual to understand and make any bots you want yourself. My bot sets can be really quite complicated and need quite a lot of ongoing support to explain and answer questions about it if you don’t want to use them as they are. There is a chance to make many mistakes with it if edited without guidance, so for that level of support, please become a BSG-BFBM IT Support Subscriber.
So non-BSG subscribers can get the bot set with default settings, then read my newsletters, read my blog posts, watch my videos, read the BFBM manual and edit the bots yourself based on your understanding of what is best.
18 Key Advice
- Use Whitaker Staking when possible. (NLC ELS Multiplier x5 /Bet Number 1k)
- You can use a shared bank for strategies betting on different selections that use Whitaker Staking. (But add +50% of the nominal starting bank to the account funds for each system added after the 2nd system.)
- Use separate banks or split banks for strategies betting on the same selections that use Whitaker Staking. (Or only bet once on a selection.)
- Use separate banks for strategies using Progressive or Recovery staking.
- Always have small 100 GBP bank tracker bots running at the same time for all your strategies in case you change/edit your larger stake bots. This will give you the most important data to refer to and judge strategies in the long term.
- Research strategies carefully but then stick with your chosen backtested strategies until each strategy hits 1,000 bets. Anything less than that is not giving the backtested strategies a chance to repeat their trend.
- Make a plan and stick to it. Plan your edit/exit points. Plan when to withdraw profit and pay costs. Plan when to stop a system. Plan when and how you will increase stakes. Plan your review points.
- Don’t change stakes mid-plan. Don’t increase stakes after a winning run. Don’t decrease stakes after a losing run.
- If you change stakes, make a new bot. Don’t mix the data.
- Don’t stop/start bots after losing/winning runs. Let them run constantly with your designated staking plan.
- For Betaminic strategies, use strategies that have 500+ bets in their base strategy Since Shared or Since Created period that prove their filters found a working trend.
- For Betaminic strategies, track them individually. Don’t treat them as a group. Just because one strategy does not work does not mean they all don’t work.
- For BFBM autobots, run test bots with 100 Whitaker banks until they clear 500 markets. Don’t increase stakes too quickly. Increase stakes on the bots with good results. If you have multiple bots betting on the same selection, choose the bot with the best results, or divide the bank among several bots betting on the same selection in a market.
Thanks for reading and good luck in the coming month.
