Hi 217, I'd give the bot (any bot) a trial first and see if it does what you need it do just on your computer. For most people running a bot on their own computer is fine. You can always get a virtual server (VT) later.

When I'm testing on the UK markets I just leave my computer running all night. You can always switch it off in the morning or put it back on again for the Oz racing in the arvo.

The bot will not place a bet unless your computer is on AND the bot is running (unless your on the VT).
