How do you get success with betting? The key lies with research, planning and commitment.
One Betaminic user, Stephan, has made +£8,460 since January 2024 by following 9 carefully chosen strategies with £100 level stakes.
The results were achieved with thorough research, careful planning and a strong commitment to see the plan through.
Research
Spend time looking at the historical results of strategies. Look at their monthly, annual and long term results. Look at their filters and be sure that you understand and agree with the football logic behind the strategies. It is easier to stick with strategies in bad runs when you really believe in them.
Planning
Plan your stakes and bank size. Calculate how much you aim to win if the historical trends repeat itself. Look at the drawdowns and have a clear idea of how negative the bank might go if you hit a losing run first. Write down your exit points. At what profit target would you consider the betting plan successful? At what loss point would you end the betting plan and go back to the planning stage. It is important to have these exit points planned in advance.
Commitment
Once you start following your strategies, let them run for long enough to give a chance for the historical trends to repeat. You cannot judge strategies fairly as working or not working on less than 100 real bets, and that 100 bets is for each strategy. Giving up too soon because of a short term losing run is the biggest mistake people make. Ideally, each strategy should be followed for 1000 bets to give it a statistically good chance of expressing is profit trend. So in Stephan’s set, he has 2 strategies making a loss, but two of those strategies have only had 68 bets each. Even though 18 months have passed since he started following the strategies, 68 bets are not enough data to justify giving up on them yet. Similarly, the other losing strategy Banker??? has had 482 bets, which is quite a large number, but is -0.7 units down after that. Stephan said he really likes the core idea behind this strategy and believes it is just negative variance that it is in the red now, and that -0.7 units is not much of a loss and that a winning run will come. This is a great example of the mentality needed for following value strategies based on long term historical trends…they have to be followed long term!

When put into the Betamin Builder aggregator we saw +57.53 units for the same period based on Pinnacle closing odds. This shows that the Betfair Exchange odds were higher than the Pinnacle odds over that period.
The Urge To Fiddle
One thing Stephan did say is that there is always a strong urge to fiddle.
When bots are doing badly, there is an urge to change things.
When bots do well, there is an even stronger urge to increase stakes or add in more strategies.
For this, he recommends very strongly to think of any stake increases, strategy additions or changes as NEW betting plans and to leave the betting sets you have already started untouched to run until they hit their exit points.
You must have patience to let your plans run and give them time. View any changes as new betting plans.
How to choose strategies?
Stephan said that he began by going through the top rated strategies on the public strategies page and also taking a look at strategy ideas from articles and other websites. He then picked the top ones that he believed the most in. He then used the aggregator to see the maximum historical drawdown and average monthly profit. He made his exit points based on that information.
