Telegram Break-Point Alerts (Self-Hosted)

Quick answer: Create a free Telegram bot with @BotFather, buy a Live Tennis API Ultra key (10% off with checkout code botblog), clone tennis-trader-alerts, put two secrets in .env, run python -m app, then /start the bot and toggle 0–40 / 15–40. This is not a Betfair betting bot. It does not place bets. Scores are informational — not tips. If you only want a second-screen board at the desk, use the free Tennis Trader Board instead (no key). ...

15-40 Tennis Hold Rate from Historical Data

Quick answer: A 15–40 alert on the Tennis Trader Board is a live score state, not a result. To see how often the server held after 15–40 or 0–40, fetch GET /history/matches/{id}?sequence=clean, find those point strings on the server/receiver slots, then walk forward until the nested games arrays change. One match is a demo. Clay vs hard needs a loop of completed ids, grouped by match.surface. Not tips — counts only. ...

Live Tennis Scores API Dashboard

Quick answer: You will install free Python on your PC, create a small project folder, save a secret API key, run one short script to list live matches, then run a second script so your browser shows a personal tennis scoreboard (formatted sets, games, points — not raw API lists). No coding experience required — copy, paste, and follow the steps in order. If you only want live scores next to Betfair today, skip the build and open our free tennis trader board instead. ...

Building a Betfair Bot: Python Lessons & BFBM

For years, I have obsessed over the Betfair Exchange. I've spent countless hours staring at trading ladders on professional software like Bet Angel, Gruss Betting Assistant, and Geeks Toy. These tools are incredible, yet I always identified a gap in the market. My vision was clear: a "set and forget" strategy—a system capable of trading football markets autonomously, 24/7, without my constant supervision. To achieve this, I knew I had to commit to building a Betfair bot from scratch. (If you want that outcome without maintaining Python, BF Bot Manager is the path most BotBlog readers take after experiments like this.) ...
