What is the best Betfair bot for beginners?
BF Bot Manager. It is the platform every strategy guide on BotBlog is written against, it has a visual rule builder so you are not writing code, and Simulation mode lets you run your exact rules against live markets before staking anything. It also has a 7-day free trial.
Is this every product BotBlog earns a commission on?
Almost — fourteen tools and data products are listed, and thirteen of them pay BotBlog a commission if you subscribe. The exception is Traderline, which is permanently free on Betfair and has no affiliate programme at all: it is here because a price comparison that hides the free option would not be an honest comparison. Products that earn nothing are otherwise not listed. Bet Angel has no affiliate programme either, only untracked trial links, so it is covered in our review and ladder guides instead. Live Tennis API's free academic dataset, SDKs, Discord app, Polymarket toolkit and MCP endpoint are free, so the guides cover those. Fortis Automation is absent until its tracking link is live.
Do I pay more by clicking a price button here?
No. The price is the vendor's own, the trial works the same, and discount codes apply either way. BotBlog may earn a commission from the seller, which is how the guides, calculators and the Tennis Trader Board stay free.
Why is there no basket or checkout?
Because BotBlog does not sell any of these. Each price button leaves this site for the seller's own checkout, so you get their receipt, their refund policy and their support. There is nothing here for us to process or store, and we never see your card details.
Where is Bet Angel?
Bet Angel has no affiliate programme, so there is nothing for BotBlog to earn and no tracked link to send you through. It is still a strong Windows terminal: our Bet Angel review and ladder and InPlay Trader guides cover it in full, with direct trial links. The shop only lists products with a live affiliate link.
Which one should I start with?
For automation, BF Bot Manager — it is the platform every strategy guide is written against, and its Simulation mode lets you test a rule set without staking. For manual trading, start with Traderline, which is free on Betfair, and only pay for Geeks Toy if you specifically want its Windows ladder. For tennis, start with the free API key and the free board before paying for alerts or history.
Which tennis API product should I buy?
Start with the free API key. The Real-time Tennis Data API's Basic plan at $9.99/month covers live scores and completed-match results; Pro at $29.99 adds match-winner odds and timelines; Ultra at $99.99 adds the per-point WebSocket push feed, AI win-probability and the point archive. If you only want alerts on your phone, Break-point Alerts Pro at $9.99/month is the cheaper route — and it is included with any paid API plan, so check before buying both.
What is the difference between Break-point Alerts and the Historical Tennis Data API?
Alerts are live: a Telegram, Discord, email or SMS ping the moment a point creates break point, with win-probability and a swing score. The Historical API is the opposite — a point-by-point tape of completed matches from January 2023 plus the reconstructed 2013–2022 archive, for backtesting and training models. Alerts make money in-play; the history stops you automating a claim you never tested.
Can I backtest a Betfair tennis bot with this data?
Yes. The Historical Tennis Data API is point-by-point, so you can count holds, breaks and 15–40 conversions before writing a rule. It is included with Ultra, so do not buy the history subscription separately if you are already on that plan.
How are the prices kept honest?
Each price is the vendor's public price on the date printed under the row. Vendors change prices and plans without telling us, so their checkout is always the source of truth. If you spot one that has moved, the contact link in the footer reaches us.
Are the crypto bots suitable for UK users?
Only with care. Crypto promotions to UK consumers are regulated by the FCA, crypto is high risk, and none of this is investment advice. Exchange bots also need API keys with trade permission — never grant withdrawal permission.
Who do I contact if something goes wrong with an order?
The seller. Their domain is printed under every row, they issue the receipt and they run support. BotBlog cannot see or change an order it did not take.
Are the free guides and the Tennis Trader Board affected?
No. The board stays free, the calculators stay free, and no article is behind a purchase. Buying through a price button is optional and always has been.
Is anything here betting advice?
No. These are software, data and research products. A bot file or a dataset is not a promise of profit, and the research pack's own public record includes losing months.
