I'd been warned about the risk of having my Betfair account hacked#, and in this day and age, why doesn't that surprise? It was suggested I upgrade to 2 step authentification#. "What's that?", I thought.

I googled it and basically, providing you have a mobile phone, you have an app that is continually changing a 6 number code. Every time you log in to Betfair, be it individually or using a bot, you add the current 6 numbers displayed on the app after your password.

I rang the boys in TAS, and at first they were bereft of any idea about what I was talking about. Finally got through to someone who did and the process isn't quite as simple to setup as I don't have a UK IP address. However they managed to sort it and I feel a lot happier.
