1 Highlights & News: Non-Betfair automation option found!

BetHoundPro (Non-Betfair automation possible)

Click here to go to their website.

Automated value betting on Greyhounds.

What is BetHoundPro?

BetHound has built their own odds calculating model for Greyhound races.

When the bookmaker odds are higher than their model’s odds, their betting software places a bet for you at the bookmakers you have connected to the software.

BetHoundPro is the software that runs on your PC or VPS to place the bets for you on your betting accounts.

It has been run and proven over with 30,000 bets with about 7% ROI.

They have two betting strategies:

Winner Bets 17,373 bets with 6.64% ROI (2026-01-05 data)

Each Way Bets 12,327 bets with 7.04% ROI (2026-01-05 data)

Latest results are on the BetHoundPro website.

Which Sportsbooks does this automation work on?

It works for these 21 sportsbooks and they are planning to add more:

Akbets
Bet600
Betfair Sportsbook Betgoodwin
Betmgm
Betwright
Bettom
Bresbet
Coral
Dragonbet
Grosvenor
Ken Howells
Ladbrokes
Leovegas
Nrg
Octobet
Paddy Power
Pricedup
Sky Bet
Starsports
William Hill

Do you have limited accounts leftover from your ShootingBets or matched odds days?

BetHoundPro can make use of your limited accounts by betting the maximum possible for your limited accounts, even it is 10p or so. As long as the account is not restricted to zero stakes, their software is cleverly designed so that if your selected stake cannot be placed, it will automatically place the maximum stake it can below this, allowing you to squeeze every tiny bit of value for those otherwise useless accounts.

How does it work?

You need the software installed and running on your PC or VPS.

It bets on UK & Ireland Greyhounds. It only needs to be switched on for those time periods.

After you join, the setup instructions are sent to you.

Current Price: 60 GBP per month.  (2026-01-05 data)

Click here to go to the Bet Hound Pro website.

Note: I usually only post systems I have run myself, but in this case I only have a UK Betfair Sportsbook account to try with the bot and no other UK bookie accounts. But I wanted to share this interesting non-Betfair Exchange automated system since there are many UK residents who have deposit limits on Betfair accounts or want to spread risk by trying other automated systems. This could be one of those. One of the interesting things about this service is that the setup guide gives lots of focus and advice on how to keep your accounts alive for as long as possible before they get limited by the bookies. They obviously know that they customers win by betting on value dogs and this gets flagged by the bookies and accounts get limited. This seems like another service, like ShootingBets, that can get your accounts limited since you they will know you are not going to be a profitable customer for them. So only use accounts that you don’t mind being eventually limited on.

I am really impressed with how they have got this working for so many bookmakers.

I hope they enlarge their service to allow bet triggers from Telegram messages, then we could make even more automated bets on a variety of sportsbooks.

IMPORTANT NOTE: BetHoundPro are always testing to help customers who live abroad, but at this present time the only bookmakers that would work are the ones with the same layout as the UK bookmakers. They are constantly striving to improve the system, and it is something they are currently working on.

For example, I have a Japanese WilliamHill account in Japanese yen. The BetHoundPro software is able to log into my account and retrieve the balance information, but has not been able to place a bet yet.

But I have been able to connect and get it running with my Betfair Sportsbook account.

Day 1 results with 1 GBP stakes

1 GBP level stakes Betfair Sportsbook

104 bets at 1 GBP level stakes

+35.13 profit (33.78% ROI)

The BetHoundPro software and Betfair Sportsbook P&L numbers match.

Day 2 results with 1 GBP / 10 GBP stakes

1 GBP/10 GBP level stakes Betfair Sportsbook

I increased the bot to 10 GBP stakes for the last 8 bets of the day.

224 bets

+2.51 profit

Total +37.64 (11.48% ROI)

It looks like an interesting non-Betfair exchange automated betting bot to try that works with a variety of UK sportsbooks.

3 GK Goal Knowledge System +13% per month average

https://bettingsystemsguide.com/gk-goal-knowledge/

+37.54 units on level stakes for the last month.

-26.47 points for the bot set I made and publicly shared with Whitaker Staking. It amplified the losing run of the low odds bets.

-7.39 units for level stakes bots compared to the –26.47 points of Tom’s Whitaker staking bots.

Level stakes bot results of GK05.01

Started 2025-07-07

GK Review -> Back to Basics

When speaking with Greg each week and looking at his bots, the general feeling is that the bots are working well with a few drawdowns. But the publicly shared bots had a surprisingly tough time this month.

I went through the data and separated out the original core GK05.01 bot on level stakes and Whitaker stakes.

From the data, it seems that my efforts to create a balanced set that bet smaller amounts spread across different versions of the trend did not work well. If I had just stayed with using the original GK05.01 bot, things would have been in profit this month, with Whitaker or level stakes.

Next Bot Set

My recommendation here is to use the level stakes version of the original bot GK05.01 bot because it has outperformed the Whitaker staking bots.

The average odds are 1.50 which has an ELS (Estimated Losing Sequence) of 6.30. If we use a sensible ELS multiplier of x5 to survive five losing runs in a short space of time, we would need a bank of 31.44 units. This would mean betting about 3 points per bet with a 100 point bank.

If we had bet 3 points per bet on the -7.37 unit loss of the level stakes mixed set of bots, it would have been -22.11 units lost which is similar to the -26.47 loss that Whitaker Staking gave us. Whitaker staking simply took the shortcut of calculating the estimated drawdowns of betting on 1.50 odds and adjusting stakes to that size.

So with the above table of GK05.01 level stakes bot results we could x3 the stakes and the profits. (Unit bank of 33.44 fits three times into a 100 point bank) Looking at this way, then the level stakes bot is outperforming the Whitaker Staking bot and we can aim for +14.22 units profit per month with 3 point stakes using the GK05.01 bot. That is based on 2,500 bets worth of data since July 7th 2025.

1k bank = 30 GBP level stakes

2k bank = 60 GBP level stakes

5k bank = 150 GBP levels stakes

The current bot sets you have are still fine running Whitaker Staking. The losses of last month were from a losing month that either staking plan would have lost with. The next bot set changes to level stakes since that is what the test bots indicate works best at the moment. If you don’t want to wait until your bot expiry and want to switch now, that is fine. Just let me know.

After the one-time £50 registration, GK Goal Knowledge is free to run since it works on a profit share basis, so it makes sense to keep it running.

4 Tom’s Betaminic Back System Results

https://bettingsystemsguide.com/value-betting-strategies/

Last month I said to switch to the Betaminic 2024/25 LowDrawdown Strategies until I can do a bigger dive into the currently available public strategies. Those strategies actually had a good month, which was nice!

+23.5 points on a 5k bank.

Betamin Builder Snapshot for 2026

There are 1000 public strategies in the Betamin Builder tool.

I scraped all their data and put it into an Excel file. I call this a “snapshot”.

Each year I use this snapshot to make new strategy sets to follow for the next year.

It is hard to see form this screenshot and easier to see by downloading and viewing the excel file yourself.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gmAmdcU7QH1ti6x6GByK-9oe7CSUUbNl/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=105479355645322150932&rtpof=true&sd=true

From this snapshot, I have chosen some low drawdown strategies. I have also tried a new method of choosing strategies where I compare their Research Period data with their real bets data to find which strategies have continued their researched trend the most consistently. I don’t know if this method will work or not, so I will track them to see if it does. I also chose some lay strategies with a new method of just picking the worst performing back strategies instead of specifically lay focussed strategies.

For now, I recommend people follow the LowDrawdown 2024/25 x8 strategies that have been consistently performing. If the new LowDrawdown and Consistency sets do well, then I will being to recommend them, but they are new and under observation at the moment.

Betaminic Value Strategies Snapshot Review

The Betamin Builder tool has over 1,000 public strategies.

The absolute best strategy on Betaminic is: OVER 2. (Dave3310) (Over 2.5 goals)

This should be the number one on your list. If you have a Betaminic subscription, then you should be following this strategy.

Low Drawdown Set 2024/25 x8 strategies

The best long running eight strategies that I recommend are:

TOM WHITAKER BSG 11 Home Chance https://www.betaminic.com/system/strategy/details/619693

I call this set the “Low Drawdown Set 2024/25 x8 strategies”

Low Drawdown Set 2024/25 x8 strategies

These are their Betfair Exchange results on £100 level stakes. (Screenshot taken 2026-01-13)

If we put these 8 into the Betaminic aggregator, we get this chart.

(Screenshot 2025-12-15)

+41.33 in 2025 on level stakes.

The historical average suggests 87 units profit in one year. But my previous research suggests we should realistically hope for 20-50% which is 18-44 units of that 87 units. (My research had actual profit ranges from -50% to +90% of the historical average with the average .)

I have made these strategies into a new bot set that tracks their £1 level stakes performance and also with Whitaker staking performance with £100 banks. Those bots feed into the main betting bots which split a £5k bank into a £2.5k Whitaker staking bank and £2.5k level stakes bank on £50 level stakes. (A 100 point bank betting 2 points per bet).

Dec 18th to Jan 13th Results

+15.84 on 1 unit level stakes

+37.75 on Whitaker staking 100 unit banks

Some of the strategies have overlapping bets, so I use a mixed bank bot to avoid duplicate bets.

+10.12 units increase on the mixed level stakes bank

+26.17% increase on the mixed Whitaker bank

New Bot Set Results on 2026-01-13

+23.5 points on a 5k bank (+1,177)

I have also chosen strategies to make three sets to track for 2026.

Low Drawdown Set 2026 x15 strategies

Consistency Set 2026 x16 strategies

Lay Set 2026 x14 strategies

Low Drawdown 2026 Set x15 strategies

Profit Target +10 points per month on Whitaker Staking (ELSx3) without duplicates

Profit Target +6 units per month on level stakes without duplicates

(Profit Target +10 units per month on level stakes with duplicates)

The Historical Maximum Drawdown for each individual strategy chosen is -15 units.

Some strategies are very similar to each other and there is some crossover of bet selections.

These strategies made +162 units profit in 2025 if you bet on every selection, including duplicates.

My recommendation is to bet only once on a selection and ignore duplicates.

If we remove similar strategies to have only one strategy of each trend type, then the aggregated drawdown is -31 units for the 10 core trends. I think this is closer to the probable combined historical maximum drawdown.

I chose these strategies by filtering strategies from my 2025-12-26 Betaminic public strategies snapshot excel file where I could compare all the strategies by various data categories.

It is hard to see form this screenshot and easier to see by downloading and viewing the excel file yourself.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gmAmdcU7QH1ti6x6GByK-9oe7CSUUbNl/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=105479355645322150932&rtpof=true&sd=true

You can bet manually on these strategies, but I have setup automated bots.

The Group 01 bots each have a £100 Whitaker staking bank to monitor individual strategy performance.

The Group 01 bots all feed into the Group 02 bots which have my main Whitaker staking bank and a level stakes tracker bot.

Consistency 2026 Set x16 strategies

I chose this set based on which strategies continued their researched trend the most. My research suggests that most researched strategies get profits of about 20-50% their Research Period level. But some strategies have maintained a 100% or higher consistency in from their Research Period into their Since Shared period of bets. It is those strategies I include in this set.

I have chosen strategies with 300 bets or more in their since shared period and consistency levels of 75-300%.

Some of them do have high drawdowns, so this set needs to be used with Whitaker Staking or very careful bank planning.

There are a lot of similar strategies in here, so I recommend only betting once on each selection and not betting on duplicates. For this reason, the aggregated historical drawdown looks quite high, but that is from betting on all duplicates.

If I just choose the 8 strategies with the most picks and no overlaps, we see an aggregated drawdown of -56, so I think a 100 unit bank could run this on level stakes. (No duplicate bets)

You can bet manually on these strategies, but I have setup automated bots.

The Group 01 bots each have a £100 Whitaker staking bank to monitor individual strategy performance.

The Group 01 bots all feed into the Group 02 bots which have my main Whitaker staking bank and a level stakes tracker bot.

If you want to look at the data I used to find these strategies, then here is the 2025-12-26 snapshot of all the public strategies on Betaminic’s Betamin Builder.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R_oL-_OoF2SzFSW5aIZ6qnsaGtDZgurv/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=105479355645322150932&rtpof=true&sd=true

All 1,000+ public strategy data is in the “snapshot” sheet.

The thing I really love about Betaminic is actually the research process. It is fun for me to look at all the data, the snapshots I make myself and the online database with its charts and monthly results, and then to make my own strategies with its filters and historical odds going back to 2012. I have used it for a while now and I really feel like I have mastered the tool and know it inside out. I hate just following other people’s tips blindly. I much prefer to see all the filters and data behind what I put my money on. It is a very different kind of betting experience.

5 Betaminic Lay Strategies

https://bettingsystemsguide.com/lay-betting-systems/

+34% profit increase on the bank in 2 weeks from x14 newly selected lay strategies from Betaminic

I have been going through over 1000 public strategies in the football backtesting tool Betamin Builder, and found the consistently worst performing strategies. I then made them into a lay set of x14 strategies to see what they would do and they made +23% increase on the bank in just 5 days and then reached +34% after two weeks. I am quite surprised by that, but since we know how hard it is to find winning strategies, maybe it is easier to find losing strategies and just lay them. In my previous attempts to find good lay strategies, I had created my own strategies based on football logic of what I thought would be bad value and that the market would overbet on and drive into negative value that is good for lay bettors. Those strategies did work, but they had a lot of variance that sometimes broke my bank. This time I have not created new strategies, but chosen old strategies that have thousands of real bets behind them proving their negative value.

The SS total bets column shows how many real bets they made.

The SS yield column shows how much ROI they made.

These strategies are proven losers.

Maybe it is easier to find losers than winners.

I and the accounts I manage for others have shown instant success with these so I wanted to share them early to try and jump start 2026.

You can either wait for 3 months to see how my bots do, or you can jump in now.

I feel like sometimes I wait too long to share my strategies and then people miss out, so I am sharing exactly what I am doing now and for my managed accounts.

Those 100 GBP Whitaker staking bank bots track each strategy and feed into the main bank 5k GBP bot BML02.01 with a 1 GBP level stakes tracker bot BML 02.02 for ROI checking.

The 5k bank is +1.8k already.

I got excited and have added a second 5k bank to double my stakes on this one. I need something to give 2026 a good start.

The 1 GBP level stakes lay to liability bot is showing +3.61% ROI from 99 bets. That looks like a sustainable level.

It might be lucky early days, but after a tough December, it is good to see any sign of positivity.

Maybe it is easier to find losers than winners, and then lay them.

You can automate this with the Bf Bot Manager on Betfair Exchange, or you can manually lay these picks on Betfair or by signing up with a betting agent that gives you access to Betfair white label exchanges for residents of Betfair restricted countries.

For BFBM automated bettors, here are the bots for download: 1k bank settings

(Edit the main bank 1k GBP bot BML02.01 to edit your bank size. All the bots must be running for the set to work.)

If you want to look at the data I used to find these strategies, then here is the 2025-12-26 snapshot of all the public strategies on Betaminic’s Betamin Builder.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R_oL-_OoF2SzFSW5aIZ6qnsaGtDZgurv/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=105479355645322150932&rtpof=true&sd=true

All 1,000+ public strategy data is in the “snapshot” sheet and the lay strategies I chose are in the “Edit 6 lays” sheet.

The thing I really love about Betaminic is actually the research process. It is fun for me to look at all the data, the snapshots I make myself and the online database with its charts and monthly results, and then to make my own strategies with its filters and historical odds going back to 2012. I have used it for a while now and I really feel like I have mastered the tool and know it inside out. I hate just following other people’s tips blindly. I much prefer to see all the filters and data behind what I put my money on. It is a very different kind of betting experience.

But for now, if these lay strategies can continue their current run, that would be a great start to 2026.

3 Picks will be sent to your email box 36-48 hours before kick-off in most cases. (Requires an active Betamin Builder Subscription.)

4 When you get an email with a pick, go to Betfair Exchange or any other betting exchange that has lay betting on football and lay that selection.

For manual bettors I recommend laying to a fixed liability of 50 or 100 GBP.

Imagine a bank of 100 points, so 50 GBP x 100 points = 5,000 GBP bank

or 100 GBP x 100 points = 10,000 GBP bank

If you have a smaller bank of 2,000 GBP, then start with 20 GBP fixed liabilities and increase stakes as you pass the 3k, 4k levels.

6 Slipstream

https://bettingsystemsguide.com/betting-syndicate/

This month I was only running Unders.

Slipstream Unders

The Unders bot set worked as intended and made a +£113 / +2.26 points increase on its 5k bank.

(Profit share depends on your overall profit/loss with Slipstream bots.)

Since I am building the bot sets with Roy, I also have the other bots running on low stakes.

The following bots are running on 100 GBP banks. So the P/L is a % increase on the starting bank.

Out of these 17 strategies, Unders2 is the most interesting one to follow after Unders.

Unders2 has +7.02% increase on the bank after 25 bets since Dec 24th. If that was the full 5k bank settings, it would have been +£351.

And all 17 strategies run together made +11.40%.

Each bot’s starting data can be seen in the “Description” column. Bots with starting dates after Dec 6th have had some rules edited in them which is why their old version was removed and the new version started.

Slipstream Unders is the best of the Slipstream Strategies for automated bettors with 8 months of profit in a row and +5.29 points per month average.

You can choose which Slipstream strategy you want to follow.

I would recommend or Unders (most consistent / least volatile / lots of liquidity) at the moment.

It has 8 out of 8 months of profit with the automated bots.

7 Tom’s BSG Draw System Results Average +5.7% per month    

(My BFBM Autobot)

https://bettingsystemsguide.com/bsg-draw-system/

The new bot set did what is what supposed to do.

The main A2.4.3 bot had another bad month, but the 2-0 back the draw bots saved the day. HT draws also helped out, too.

The average profit is about 5% per month.

8 HedgerPro +28 points per month average

https://bettingsystemsguide.com/hedger-pro-horse-racing/

After 9 months of good results, the HedgerPro set of my x9 strategy choices posted a -37 point loss.

Oddly, the individual £100 bank bots made a -5 point loss in this time. That might mean there were some overlaps in the bets that the main mixed bot only bet once on or my bank ran out of stakes to place bets with at certain times.

The two sets are betting on different trends.

After a losing month it is important to check the  long term bots again.

HedgerPro Tracker Bots

I am tracking all the 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:

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.

 For next month, I will keep use x8 HedgerPro strategies usingWhitaker NLC ELS5/BN1k staking settings with a 5k bank.

Two strategies are removed and one added based on the long term data.

Stopped

HP05 Back Low Risk

HP34 Back AW V2.2 OH

Added

HP07 Back Monday

Current Set

HP03 Back High Risk & Profit

HP07 Back Monday

HP36 Back High Odds & Profit OH

HP41 Lay everydaybet V4 OH

HP42 Lay Jump Jockey V3 OH

HP43 Lay Low Odds V2 OH

HP44 Lay Low Risk V2 OH

HP45 Lay Med Risk V2 OH

So the start point for tracking this month looks like this on Jan 14th.

9 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.

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.

13 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.

14 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 massively 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.

15 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.

16 Key Advice

  1. Use Whitaker Staking when possible. (NLC ELS Multiplier x5 /Bet Number 1k)
  2. 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.)
  3. Use separate banks or split banks for strategies betting on the same selections that use Whitaker Staking. (Or only bet once on a selection.)
  4. Use separate banks for strategies using Progressive or Recovery staking.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Don’t change stakes mid-plan. Don’t increase stakes after a winning run. Don’t decrease stakes after a losing run.
  9. If you change stakes, make a new bot. Don’t mix the data.
  10. Don’t stop/start bots after losing/winning runs. Let them run constantly with your designated staking plan.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.

Best regards,

Tom
