Sending System Selections to Betfair

Bet Selector was updated in January 2024 with the ability to access Betfair data and bet directly with Betfair. The ability to format selections for Betfair is an exciting development because as you may know Betfair’s Starting Price (BSP) is around 12% better than best tote. And in case you don’t know, Bet Selector’s top class and weight rated horses in selected races make a profit even at fixed price let alone best tote or BSP.

While the above now means there is less need for you to use a Betfair bot, System Selector still creates special csv files for betting system selections with certain Betfair bots (note this works in both normal and expert modes). 

The new selection files for Betfair bots can be found in subfolders in the “Price” folder. They are created after you run a system test with the name of the file is the same as the folder/list name but with “.csv” on the end to indicate that it is a comma separated vales (csv) file.

Note the files are only created if the system test start date and end date are the same. Also, files that were created before today are automatically removed from the folder.  Note also you can still look at files for previous days provided you run the test today and only test one single day at a time (so you can test yesterday and still check out the file today).

You can find the relevant bets files in the Price folder subfolders as follows:

  • BFBM for BFBotmanager
  • BBPRO for BetBotPro
  • BSEND for BetSender

Note there is also a "bets" subfolder - it was initially used for BFBotmanager files but is now used internally by Bet Selector for its own System Selector bets.
