📂 Betfair Bot Manager File (BFBM)
If you're a Hedger Pro member and want to automate the 14 Free Example Betting Systems using BFBM, email me at ryan@hedgerpro.co.uk.
I'll be distributing the files individually later today. When requesting your file, please specify whether you need:
Betfair
Betdaq
Both
📌 Important: If you’ve modified the example systems, you’ll need to export your own BFBM file.
You can find the instructions near the base of the page within the instruction manual here: https://www.hedgerpro.co.uk/manual/1.5/research-tool.html
🎥 New Bet Scheduling Video
I've been asked to create a shorter version of my Bet Scheduling tutorial—so here it is!
In addition, I’m working on new content focused on Hedger Pro’s user interface (UI) to help members unlock its full potential. With so many powerful features, some may be overlooked—especially for new users.
Upcoming topics include:
General Navigation of Hedger Pro
Race Cards and how to read them effectively
Creating & Refining Betting Systems (live in videos!)
Portfolio Feature – How to maximize its benefits & staking set up
Hidden Features that can make a big difference
We understand that the platform can feel overwhelming at first. That’s why we’re rolling out these step-by-step videos, making them easily accessible in the Demo section of Hedger Pro and here on Substack.
⏳ 5-Min Bet Scheduling Video – What’s Next?
The next video will cover: ✅ Recording an entire day of bet scheduling (morning session)
✅ An alternative video showing evening scheduling
🔍 In my last video, I covered every potential bet for the system HP BACK MONDAY. This was just a demonstration, as 90% of the bets won’t qualify. However, it illustrated a key point:
💡 If a horse doesn’t meet your system’s criteria, the bet simply won’t be placed—no risk, no wasted balance.
📌 Key Takeaways for Bet Scheduling:
When scheduling bets, no money is used from your Betfair balance until a bet qualifies.
Even if you schedule all bets in a system, only qualifying bets will be matched, none qualifying bets will be auto killed.
Correct MTP (Minutes to Post) and Staking Method settings are crucial to ensure your bets are placed accurately.
📖 The Hedger Pro Manual & AI Search Bot
A lot of work has gone into the Hedger Pro Manual, and Claude AI Bot (our intelligent assistant) is a great tool for answering common questions.
If you're stuck, you can always:
Ask questions in the comments (here on Substack)
Join the Telegram group for real-time discussions
Email us for direct support
However, most answers are already covered in the manual. Instead of waiting for a response (which can take up to 24 hours), check the Help section (top left of the Hedger Pro page) and let Claude AI assist you instantly.
🔹 Pro Tip: I use Claude a lot myself because I prefer to free up my brain for more important tasks. He’s fast, reliable, and saves a lot of time.
💬 Member Feedback & Questions Answered
We love hearing your feedback—your suggestions help shape Hedger Pro’s future updates.

🚀 Suggested Improvement: Bet Scheduling Enhancement
A member (Mike) suggested an update to auto-select the MTP and Stake Method when choosing a system from the dropdown. This could:
Speed up scheduling by removing extra steps
Reduce human error, ensuring bets are placed correctly
I’ll discuss this with Nigel (our developer) to see if it’s possible without breaking the code. It seems like a manageable update, but I’ll confirm feasibility before setting a timeframe.
💰 Start Bank & Points Value – How Much Should You Start With?
A frequent question I receive is: "What size start bank should I use for my betting systems?"
📊 The answer depends on:
Your risk tolerance
Your chosen systems
Your portfolio allocation strategy
💡 How to Find Your Ideal Start Bank
Use Hedger Pro’s Portfolio Manager to: ✅ Set different stakes for low-risk vs. high-risk systems
✅ Calculate expected exposure based on your selections
✅ Adjust financial allocation per system based on comfort level
🎥 I’ll create a video demonstrating different start banks and system combinations to show why there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.
📉 Does Everyone Betting on the Same Horses Affect the Market?
Short answer: Yes, it does.
If everyone places the same bets at the same time, market liquidity will be affected, particularly for:
Higher-priced horses (more impact due to lower liquidity)
Lower liquidity markets (odds will fluctuate more dramatically)
🛠️ How to Minimize Market Impact
🔹 Use BSP (Betfair Starting Price) to avoid price movement issues.
🔹 Consider lower-odds systems, which are less affected.
🔹 Customize systems to add unique filters and reduce betting synchronization with others.
💡 Hedger Pro systems are intentionally minimal—they’re designed to be adapted and improved. I regularly tweak my own Hedger Pro systems for better performance, and I encourage you to do the same.
Upcoming Update: I’ll be rolling out another batch of free example systems in Q2, so stay tuned!
🎯 Final Thoughts
This was a long update, but I wanted to cover everything in detail. There’s still more to discuss, but I’ll save it for the next post.
