GETTING STARTED

Login to Betfair, load a market and make your first bets.

All the following steps are explained in detail in the relevant help pages.

If you are not in the UK then please click here

Step 1

Click the 'Login' Button

A small login window will pop up.

Enter your Betfair username and password

Click 'Enter'

The Betometer does not store your personal information

You dont not need to login to Betfair to run The Betometer. But to take advantage of the fast market refresh speed and make ‘real’ bets then you need to do so.

Your login status will be shown together with the
balance of your Betfair account.
Click here to learn about the funds button.

Step 2

While you are learning about The Betometer, we suggest that you use 'TEST MODE'

Test Mode lets you practice with The Betometer but without risking any money.

How it works is that all functions work as they normally do, but any bets you make are not sent to Betfair. They are still listed as normal but they are not 'real' bets.

When Test Mode is 'On' the button will flash.

Under the funds button you can also set up a ‘virtual bank’

Step 3

Load your Markets

Step 4

Turn on the Market Refresh

Step 5

A quick look at the buttons to get you started - remember to use 'TEST MODE' while you are learning.

Enter a stake. In the UK the minimum stake is currently £2.

The Betometer will place bets below the minimum but this is not encouraged by Betfair.

Step 6

To place a bet right click an odds button.
Blue is back bet, pink is a lay bet

Once your bet is matched then you can do an easy two click trade as long as the back bet odds are larger than then lay bet odds, even if its only a small difference.

First we place a back bet at 2.92 for £20

Step 7

Now we do an easy one click trade by right clicking the hedge button to make a small but guaranteed profit. It doesn't matter if you backed or layed first, The Betometer will place the correct second bet for you. Note that the difference between the back odds and the lay odds determines the size of profit.
