Help Required With Automated Betting Bots

[bobajob]

Hello everyone.  hope I've posted this in the right place - forgive me if I haven't.

I am in search of some advice and will be grateful for any help you can give me.

As a bit of background, I am self taught when it comes to betting and have got to a reasonable standard where I'm not losing money to the bookies/exchanges. I have a few systems that I've spent a lot of time on and developed for quite a while that return profits at BSP but I just don't have the time to sit at a computer or on my phone to place all the bets throughout the day. I now need to progress to automating my bets and this is where my knowledge runs thin.

I need a betting bot to do the following:

Place Back or Lay bets in the Win, Place or Each Way markets.

Be able to place Back/Lay bets in the above markets at BSP, above, below or between certain odd ranges. (As an aside, I have read that lots of bots don't seem to allow you to place bets at actual BSP and that you usually have to place the bet a few seconds before the 'off' time - why is this?)

Allow me to have several different systems running at the same time.

One click betting functionality for when I have a play inplay.

 

That's what I need the Bot to do. But I also have these questions about the Bot:

Does my computer need to be left on and running for the Bot to functions correctly?

Can I run more than one Betfair account on the same Bot at the same time? One for my partners account and one for me?

 

Thank you all in advance for any help. I've done lots of reading up on Bots but being new to them some of it is not sinking in. So, I'd be happy to hear your recommendations on Bots that you've used, think will fill my requirements, and feedback you have on certain Bots. And please...speak to me like a layman, I won't be offended!

I personally use GRUSS Software as my bot,

You set your betting parameters via EXCEL only (you CANT use Microsoft 365 (Excel online) or any of the free spreadsheets (ie open office , google sheets or numpy))
You can do anything you want from your above post, all depends on your EXCEL/VBA skills as all your doing is setting a BACK / LAY trigger for the bot to follow,
you can set it to back unmatched bets @ SP in play or just back @ sp
( why anyone would want to back at SP when you have no Idea what the price is is beyond me, unless 'between' parameters are set like >X & <Y which can also be done)

You can manually trade using grid or ladder interface if that's your thing.
You can dutch bet , green out etc etc

Yes you do have to have your computer on all the time its running (I have mine on its own dedicated mini pc similar to this, fixed to the back of my telly and hardwired into router, it runs 24/7 and it's linked to all my other bits and bobs , main puter , phone ,Kindle ,Ipad etc so can check it/remote operate it whenever I need )

As I think your paying per link  to Betfair (£6pm), I surmise you'd need 2 separate links for 2 accounts
GRUSS do a free bot for Betdaq with some restrictions on info available like no OR etc, but you can use it to have a play around learn how to set triggers etc.

There's a forum as well so you can get some ideas on there .
