Steamer Bot

This is a betting bot that identifies steamers and drifters in the Betfair market and bets on them for you according to whatever criteria you set.

It’s a very nice piece of kit and the website has videos that shows you what it does and how to set it up.

I’ve set mine up to back the biggest steamer in each race between 3.00 and 50 with a minimum movement of 10%. Any selections identified that are over 5.0 it will back it in the place market, any selection below 5.0 it will back 25% in the win market and 75% in the place market (clever isn’t it?). All this is up to the user so I thought this might be worth a bash.

At the same time I’ve set it to lay the biggest drifter for a maximum liability of £10, this time in the win market.

Let’s see how it does.

It’s worth having a look at the short video on their home page, or indeed the more detailed ones on their ‘Instructions’ page, as it explains it all clearly there.

And a winning trade today, which I was half expecting. With a reported 53% strike rate at a profit ratio of 3/2 it’s going to be going three steps forwards, two steps back much of the time.

Day 13: +£310

Total: +£610

Beaumonts Bets

January was a testing month for Beaumonts Bets, not helped in the least by Betfair crashing on 13th. Since the recommended method is to back the selections in the morning and lay off 75% of the bets on Betfair before the off using a bot, this meant that the lay side of the bets on that day couldn’t be placed.

As is the way with these things, it wasn’t a profitable day just backing and they lost 19.05 points. This of course would have been offset with the lay bets, just as they are normally on any other day, had Betfair been up and running.

Fortunately this is a rare occurrence; just imagine how much money Betfair lost that afternoon in commissions!

The good news, however, is that despite that setback, the Beaumonts Bets service still returned an impressive 23.1 points for January using the Back/Lay 75% method, which is in line the with target 24 points per month profit on an 80 point bank, or 30% a month.

This brings the total points profit since August to a whopping 477.52 points. That’s an average monthly profit of 79.58 points which is, near as dammit, 100% return a month.

August: 88.98
September: 95.55
October 117.69
November: 97.10
December: 55.10
January: 23.10

Total: 477.52

This is totally unprecedented in horse racing, especially when you consider the risk on the majority of bets is only one quarter of one point.

Paul has also posted some videos on the site covering Gamblers Mentality, How to make Insurance Bets, and general introduction into why his method works so well.

Magic Backing Bot

This bot has been running quietly in the background and more than doubled my bank at one point, going £440 into profit at £10 level stakes just before Christmas.

Since then, however, it’s been struggling, giving back quite a bit, and the bank now stands at £610, for a £210 profit. That’s still a 50% profit in three months though.

For the moment I’m happy to put this in the Approved section as it works flawlessly and so far has made a half decent profit.

Anyone using the optional staking plan that is built into the bot would be at £312 profit so it does appear to be worthwhile using that.

I will continue to update on the progress of this bot just in case it becomes available again in the future.

UPDATE

Following on from my post earlier today, another strange thing happened.

I e-mailed Capital Spreads expressing my disappointment that they would open a trade that was already 10 pips past my limit order, and then close it immediately at a loss.

This was their reply:

“Dear Mr. Laurie,

Thank you for your email.

We have now re-credited your account to amend this.

We would like to apologise for any inconvenience you may have experienced. Should you require further assistance please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Support team.

Kind Regards

Jonay De La Vega Herrero

Customer Support”

Short and sweet, and no explanation whatsoever but at least I didn’t lose.

Also, having read this mornings weekly eletter from Mark Rose, the author of Time Shift Trader, he actually recommends NOT to trade on NFP days. He made 37 pips himself today as he’s monitoring how the method works on NFP days but past results show an overall loss on these days so it’s best to steer clear.

So having been refunded plus the fact I shouldn’t have traded today anyway, the figures are as follows:

Day 9: +£0

Total: +£900
