A bot is the best way to go if you don't want to miss anything. It is a bit more disciplined and tends to pay more attention than the average bear. 
And, don't forget, some people don't want to use it because they may have heard of horror stories losing their entrie account. If anyone is afraid of that just have minimum funds in the account you will be using (Aus or UK). If betting below minimum though, you will need to have at least the minimum bet amount ($5 in Aus) in your account plus the amount for the bet if backing and obviously the required liability if laying.
