I know the subject of Betting Bots has been spoken of a number of times by forum members. I am developing a strategy of laying the 2nd race fav when there is a specific gap between it and the 1st race fav and of course betting at the off or close to it.
I'm looking for a bot that would preform this function or have a programme created specifically for that purpose. I'm told the Greyhorse bot is capable but is complex to use and expensive. Could any forum member who knows of any other Betting Bot please reply with any details.

Thank you 217.

As long as you have a reasonable understanding of excel, Gruss Betting Assistant can do what you have described.

BetBotPro is easy to use. It will allow you to pick 2nd fav and then isolate some odds parameters.

BF Bot Manager will do the same.

Free trials on both.

BFBotManager is what you want. Use it here in Australia and have it running fully unattended on a VM in Ireland. Very stable and configurable. Developer very responsive unlike that BetBotPro joffer.

Hey what does the server cost you a month to run?

Shaun

This particular one is an Amazon EC2 Win2008 server that is running as a t1.micro "spot instance" (Amazon's jargon not mine). Spot instances enable you to bid for unused Amazon EC2 capacity.

https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/spot-instances/

January's bill was a bit less than $14. This machine has been running 24/7 since the 7th December, 2011.

We run quite a few of these things (big and small) on EC2 so give me a yell if you need more info.

I do thank the members who have replied, most sincierly, and if others wish to add anything please keep it rolling.
To NORISK I have self taught myself to use a computer and I use XL sheets to record all of my research. I do know that XL uses formulas for various cells etc but know nothing about how to go about it, so GRUSS would be out for me.
It does appear that BFBot manager is the way to go, linked to the server that Anrgy Pixie mentioned. If I could ask him, does the BOT place bets when the computer is off. I imagine the answer is no but I'm not sure.
Again I thank you all for the replies.

It won't place bets when it is off unless you have submitted SP bets.

What AngryPixie has mentioned is a service separate from the bot that you can install the bot on to that would run 24/7

Just like getting a website host except they would host your program and run it from there system, people could use a service like this for anything not just betting bots.

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).

For those members interested, I have finally decided to go with the BFBotMANAGERV2 to handle my betting activities.
My decision was made after digesting comments made here by members and from a close friend who trialed the GREY HORSE bot and although it's very good he and the marketers couldn't get it to do quite what we required. We had more success with the alturnative and have now gone with it.

After some early teathing problems it's opporating quite successfully and we are using a loss recovery programe set at 60%. Expierence has shown with all gambling activities nothing is 100.0% and loses will occure and need to be recovered sooner rather than later and this built in function will be handy.

Again I thank the members who made contributions to this thread, they have helped me and their comments may well light the spark of an idear in some one else.
