By using Betaminic Strategy Picks with the BF Bot Manager software you will be able to:
- Save Time – All bets placed for you. No need to waste time manually searching for markets.
- Never Miss a Bet – Your Pending Picks are checked for new picks every 5 minutes.
- Track Results – Easily see exactly how many bets have been placed, profit/loss, hit rate, and more at a glance.
- Use Staking Plans – Easily apply a wide choice of staking plans to the strategies.
- Follow More Strategies – It is now much easier to follow more strategies. The practical difficulty barrier of manually placing a large number of strategy bets is now removed through automation.
- Reach Portfolio Targets Faster – Why make 100 bets from 5%-yield strategies over 6 months, when you can make them over 1 week. Following the right set of low drawdown strategies with consistent yields can produce faster results.
- Efficient Use of Betting Bank – Betting capital is used for shorter times, allowing more bets per day.
The BF Bot Manager is software that you download to your PC and then set to place bets automatically according to your instructions. It can run multiple strategies with different settings.
Save Time
On a busy weekend, if you are following several strategies, you could have over 50 bets to place. If you like to place your bets all in one go on Saturday morning, then it could take over an hour to find 50 matches and place bets on them, and even longer if you have to check staking plans to decide stake sizes or if you log the bets carefully in a database. With automated betting, this time is saved. Even if you follow just a few strategies, the time taken each day to check up on new pending picks, check if you have already placed those bets, then place new bets, it all takes away more of your precious time. You can now let technology handle all of the busy work for you.
Never Miss a Bet
Betaminic Picks usually get sent out 24-48 hours before kick-off, but on rare occasions, when Pinnacle put a smaller market up late, picks can get sent out less than 24 hours before kick-off. If you happen to have a busy schedule that day or if you did not notice the Betaminic Pick email, then you could miss out on picks. With a betting bot, you will never miss a bet again, since the software will automatically check for new Pending Picks EVERY 5 MINUTES. (You can even set this to as low as every 1 minute if desired.) But it means you can be sure that any new Pending Picks will be found and imported to the software.
Track Results
The BF Bot Manager software automatically keeps track of your bets, odds taken, profit/loss, win rate and results. So you no longer have to manually do that in a spreadsheet to keep track of your progress. You can also export results if you want to add them into your own spreadsheet or run staking tests with them.
Use Staking Plans
29 staking plans are currently available in the BF Bot Manager with more added each year. You can now easily apply a wide range of staking plans to the strategies with all the calculations handled by the software such as Percentage Staking, Fibonacci Staking (which is called “Simple Sequence Overall P/L” in the software), Bookies Bank Staking, D’Alembert, Kelly, Labouchere and many more. It also includes the highly recommended “Whitaker Staking” plan by Tom Whitaker in his Staking Plans book, which is called the “Odds Staking Ladder” in the BF Bot Manager software. Multiply profits with the right staking plan.
Follow More Strategies
Big Data betting is based on finding value from the odds calculated by the bookmaker models. Many long term strategies have yields in the 5-10% range. The more strategies we follow, the more we can spread our risk and increase overall profit. But when manually placing bets, there is a physical limit to how much time we have to place the bets. Now, with automated placing of bets, you can focus your time on the management side of your strategy portfolio. More time for researching, creating, reviewing, managing and selecting strategies. It is now much easier to follow more strategies. The practical barrier of manually placing a large number of strategy bets is now removed through automation.
Reach Portfolio Targets Faster
Why make 100 bets from 5%-yield strategies over 6 months, when you can make those 100 bets over 1 week. Following the right set of low drawdown strategies with consistent yields can produce faster results. With larger numbers of strategies being used together, low drawdowns become more important. If we use just 5 strategies and 1 strategy’s trend has a large negative variance, it can slow progress towards our target. But if we use 20 strategies, we can spread our risk and reduce dependence on a small number of strategies. This also means we can make more bets in a shorter time. If our strategies all have low drawdowns and yields above 5%, then we can decrease the time to reach targets.
Efficient Use of Betting Bank
Since bets are usually settled within 2 hours, the betting capital is used for shorter times. This allows more bets per day. If we had to place 100 bets on a Saturday morning to cover our strategies for the day, that limits stakes to 1 point or less, and then there is no betting bank left over if good opportunities arise in-play. But since the games take place at different times, with the BF Bot Manager software, a smaller portion of the betting bank would be used. If there are 5 games at 1pm, 50 games at 3pm, 30 games at 5pm, 10 games at 8pm, 5 games at midnight, then at most half the bank is unavailable from 3pm-5pm. This leaves some betting bank free if the opportunity comes.

Important Notes about the BF Bot Manager:
- You need a Betfair account to use the BF Bot Manager software.
- The PC running the BF Bot Manager software needs to remain switched on and connected to the internet in order to place bets.
- The BF Bot Manager runs on Windows operating systems only.
If you don’t have Windows or don’t want to leave your computer on, then you can run your bot on a VPS (Virtual Private Server) that runs 24/7 and access it from anywhere! (For example: TAGADAB)
Troubleshooting Common Issues
1. Where do the picks go in Bf Bot Manager?
The picks will appear in the “Manage Tips” Section if the Betamin Builder and Bf Bot Manager have been successfully connected. The strategy name of each Betaminic strategy becomes the “Tipster/Provider” name in the Bf Bot Manager Manage Tips form.
2. I can see picks in my Betamin Builder “My Picks” tab but not in the Bf Bot Manager
Picks usually appear in the Betamin Builder “My Picks” tab 24-48 hours before kick-off, but these picks are only sent to the Bf Bot Manager software 6 hours before kick-off. This timing was recommended to use by Bf Bot Manager themselves due to past issues with Betfair market naming if tips are imported too early.
If a pick appears in your Betamin Builder, but not your Bf Bot Manager, then it is probably more than 6 hours until kick-off.
If it is less than 6 hours until kick-off, then the Betamin Builder and Bf Bot Manager software may not be connected properly.
3. Why isn’t the bot placing bets?
If the software is not placing bets, then you need to go through a checklist of possible setup issues.
Check 1: Has your Betaminic account been successfully connected to your BFBM software by putting your Betaminic URL into the “Betaminic auto import settings” form? This can be confirmed if there are tips in the “Manage tips” form.
Check 2: Is there a BFBM strategy bot setup that is meant to bet on the tips? i.e. the “Bet on all imported tips” example bot strategy.
Check 3: Is the bot in real mode?
Check 4: Was the software switched on and the PC connected to the internet at the time when the bet was meant to be placed?
If the answer is yes to all of the above points, then export the bot that is meant to be betting on the imported tips, send it to to********@be*******.com to be checked and we will try to find the issue.
Advanced Features
In our advanced article we explain more advanced features available when using Betaminic Picks and the BF Bot Manager software together. Advanced features allow control over every aspect of the betting process.
- Create Multiple Bot Systems – Bet on each Betaminic strategy individually or combine multiple strategies into betting systems that are easier to follow as a whole. Apply different staking levels and staking plans to each aggregated betting system. (e.g. Low Drawdown System, High Profit System, High Yield System, etc.) See daily profit changes easily.
- Export Bet Results – Easily export results to analyse further and plug into staking analysis software.
- Set Time to Bet – Choose the time you want your bets placed. 10 minutes before kick-off? 20 seconds before kick-off? The bot will do it for you every time.
- Check Odds – Set bot to include or exclude bets that are below the recommended minimum odds.
- Set Safety Stop-Losses – If you are using a new high odds strategy or recovery staking plan. Set safety limits to prevent negative variance going over your risk limits.
- Get Live Updates – With the Betfair mobile app, it will automatically notify you of goals and results in the matches you are automatically betting on. No need to select each fixture in other livescore apps. Wherever you are, you’ll know your bot is placing bets and doing the busy work for you.
- Create Lay The Draw trading strategies that use the Betaminic Picks as match selections and then automatically make the lay bets and trade out according to your settings.
- Leverage even more value out of the Betaminic value picks. Create trading strategies that use the Betaminic picks as selections for automated trading. (For example, if the underdog scores first in a Pro-Home favorite pick, set the bot to automatically lay the underdog at 0-1 in-play if it is still the first half. Or if the score is still 0-0 at HT, set it to make another home bet on the Pro-Home favorite pick at better odds than pre-game. Or even try to get better odds by setting the bot to place bets 5 minutes into in-play, instead of pre-game.)
