Setting Up the Bot.
You have the countries at the top where you want the bot to bet, we recommend, Australia, GBR (UK), Ireland, and if you like New Zealand.
But keep in mind, that you need money in the markets to get a accurate guild, in the price movement.
Min and Max Price is the range of that you will let the bot monitor. If you go too low, then you will find that the staking can jump rapidly. |
Time to Bet: This is when the bot will actual start placing the bets, so Pre Play means the bets are placed before the off (start). And you can see I am using 20 seconds.
Minimum Matched: This is set here at 1000, however I would suggest at least 10,000 if doing New Zealand and Australia. UK & Ireland if do these the minimum can be 10,000 plus also as all races will be well into the hundreds of thousands.
The more you increase the minimum matched the better the market accuracy.
Max Book%: Obviously the closer to 100% the better, but 103% is a realistic mark.
Runners; Min Max, this is how many runners must be facing the starter before the bot will consider the race.
Don't go to low in runners as small fields often produce upsets.
Time Interval For Best Backed: This instruction, is to tell the bot when to start monitoring the prices of the race, so it can judge the best supported horses, and it affects 3 of the options.
The bot will monitor the priced (4 minutes as 4 is selected) from start, and then at the Time to Bet instruction (20 seconds in the above example).
Best Back Option example shown:
In the above image we can see the field and the price gap from the 4 minute mark to the 20 seconds before the off.
The yellow highlight shows the best four horses that have shorten, and are the ones the bot will bet.
Max Dutch: This is the limit as high as the bot will allow, over 90% in this example the bot would not make the bet, to bet this high you would need an odds on selection (We recommend no lower than 2.00, I use 2.5 as my lowest.)

Setting how much we want to win.
Stop @ Profit per Race: This is how much you want the Dutch to win, we have 1.00, so if the dutch is successful, we will win 1.00 dollar, pound, euro or whatever currency your betfair account is set up.
The Continue box is ticked, so the means, if you win the target the bot will reset and try and win another 1.00 |
Stop @ Profit each Tab: The bot has 10 tabs, that are located at the top of the bot. These are where the dutch bets are held during the race, and if another race is starting to be monitored, then the next tab is used for the new dutch. It is these tabs, that this option relates to.
Like in the example above (5.00), then once the profit in tab reaches 5.00 profit, if the box was unticked then that tab would not accept anymore bets, and if you only have Tab 1 enabled the bot would stop placing bets. In the example we have it ticked so it would ignore this instruction, and continue to bet.
Stop @ Profit all Tabs: If this is unticked, then the bot will stop betting once the nominated figure is reached, on all tabs, so no more bets will be made until the bot is restarted.
So if you say I want to make 10.00 for the day and then stop, you would put 10.00 in the box and untick it.
If the continue box is ticked then, the bot will continue betting.

Unforturnately, we don't win all the time, and we need bank protection. This is where we set the handbrake (stop loss).
Stop Loss (don't worry about the $ sign as it is the currency of your account). In the example we have 100.00 this means if the loss from the last winning bet is over 100, then the bot will either, do one of three things if the option is ticked, as it is in this case. |
No. Losses, if we have this ticked then it will stop the series when you have had in this case 5 losses in a row.
If you have both ticked then whichever happens first, will cause the series to stop and take the action you have set (see below).
Cont +restart: The bot will restart, to get the target and will not try and reclaim lost staking of previous bets.
Cont+no Restart: Dangerous option, the bot will contine to try and get target and make a profit. (No reccommended).
Don't Cont: If this is selected, the bot will stop and not make any more bets until the bet is restarted.
These options are only for the Dutch that are associated with these instructions.
Dutch1, Dutch 2 and Dutch 3 are separate from each other, so any instruction in these are for the specific to dutch
The next set of settings are to do with Types of racing.
Allow Non-Handicap: If ticked it will monitor and bet on Non handicaps.
Allow Handicaps: If ticked it will monitor and bet on handicaps.
Allow Harness: If you want to include Harness (trotting and pacing) racing (NZ and Australia) then tick this option.
Allow Harness Only: If you only want harness races to be bet only then tick this option.
Mexican Wave: This is an option that spreads the bets over the Staking tabs at the Top of the Bot.
If you leave the Mexican wave unticked, the bot will always try and place the bets on Tab 1, if this tab is occupied, it will move to the next available tab. Once a race is setted then the tab will be freed up. Until that happens the tab can not be used for another race.
And that is the option we have used in our results.
However if you have ticked Mexican wave, it will place the first bet in tab 1, and then the next in tab 2 and the next in tab 3 etc, once it gets to tab 10, it will restart at tab 1.
The default version of the bot has all ten tabs at the top enabled.
if you wish you can untick tabs if you only want a few tabs, but there is no real reason to do that.
Because if you have your time to monitor races set at 10 minutes, then at the ten minute mark one tab will then become occuppied, and if the race is a long one, then it is possible a tab is occupied for 20 minutes, and if you only have a few tabs enabled, you may find you have no available tabs to accept new races.
Profit Delta: This is an option to make some extra profit if the first bet in a series loses. If you tick it and enter a figure, we recommend bet 10% and 50% of your original Target. If you have 1.00 as the Target the .10 to .50 is an acceptable profit delta.
Here is how it works. Target is 1.00, this is what we get should our dutch win. If it loses, then we need to recover the staking loss, plus now we add .50 to the target:
1.00 + .50 (PD)= 1.50 New amount to win: Plus the staking lost on the first bet.
If the second bet wins, we clear 1.50 profit, where if we did not have the Profit delta ticked we would have won only the 1.00 target profit.
That should give you an overview of what the bot is designed to do.
Sort Button.
This is a magic button that arranges the field, in market order which is very handy, I love this button, shows the favs in an INSTANT!
Level Staking Only?
Yes, if you want to Level stake the dutches, all you need to do is set the Number of Losses to 1.
So as soon as you have a loss, then the bot will not try to recover any lost staking.
What do I need to run this Amazing Horse Dutch Bot?
This is a windows based bot, so you need a PC that has Microsoft Windows on it.
Or you can use a VPS (Virtual Private Server) that is windows powered.
This is the best way, because using a vps, means you can leave the bot running without you having to leave your own PC on.
Plus you can access the vps on your smart phone or tablet.
VPS are very inexpensive now, see Click Here To See
Window 2 plan are presently at 6.99 euro a month, so very reasonable we have been using this company for two years now.
