BetTrader PRO version 3.1 Released

The latest version of our popular betfair trading software is now live. Check out the new range of Trading Tools.

BetTrader PRO version 3.1 about to be released

We don't hang about round here! We've adapted BetTrader to work off Betfair's brand new API 5 which means you'll be able to access all Australian sports and your Australian wallet from the app. We've also added some pretty fancy trading tools such as a Stop Loss tool, a Trailing Stop tool, Drip Feed tool, Timer tool and a Price Chaser tool. Check out the Demo Videos page.

BetTrader PRO version 3.1 also has several internal improvements that have further improved the application's speed and stability. We'll be releasing this latest build of our popular Betfair trading software early this coming week, as soon as it's released all current users will be automatically upgraded when they log in.

And it will still be the same low price. Download your free trial and after that pay for it only when you use it with our flexible payment plans.

BetTrader PRO version 2.14 released

Onwards and upwards! We released the latest version of our popular Betfair trading software today which has a couple more performance tweaks than 2.13. It also displays our Thawte SSL Certificate logo on the login box which you can click on to see our valid certificate. This encrypts your Betfair username and password before they are sent over the internet to Betfair's servers, making BetTrader PRO totally secure.

More Demo Videos

I had a bit of a demo video bonanza and the Demo Videos page of the website now has 23 demos explaining the different features of BetTrader PRO, 4 demos of soccer games that I traded on in the World Cup and 4 demos of me trading on the horses. The latest horse trading video I made today has live commentary as I place the bets.

And another one...

Here's another video of a few more races that I did on Friday.

Betfair Trading Video

Here's a new video I made yesterday showing how I trade on UK horseraces in the last minutes before the start of the race. It's 35 minutes long and shows me trading on 7 different races with commentary that I added later to explain what I was doing and why. You can see how much faster I'm able to trade by using BetTrader instead of the Betfair website interface, entering Back or Lay trades at any price with only one click of the mouse.

Latest version of BetTrader PRO released

We're happy to announce the release of version 2.13 of BetTrader PRO. This version is a major breakthrough as we have been working tirelessly to fix the freezing and slowdown problems that some users were experiencing and we've succeeded! It is super stable and super fast!

We're so confident in this latest build that we've given all of our past users another free trial. If you have already used your free trial up, or if your account with us is no longer active then simply log in to BetTrader again and you will see that we have given you 200 free minutes so you can test it out for yourself. When you log in you'll be prompted to download the latest version and your account will be instantly activated, you don't need to do anything. If you have never used BetTrader before then simply Download it for free and log in with your Betfair username and password, the application will work immediately.

Aswell as being ultra stable and ultra fast, this latest version is also ultra secure. Each time you log in to BetTrader PRO your Betfair username and password is encrypted by our Thawte SSL Certificate with 128 bit technology before it is sent over the internet to Betfair's servers. You can view our valid SSL Certificate on the Buy Now page of our website which also uses the SSL certificate to encrypt your Betfair username before sending it over the internet.
