How to auto-place football tips on Betfair
If you already have your selections, from your own ratings or a tipster, a bot can put them on Betfair for you. Here's how it works with a CSV upload.
Updated October 2026
The problem with placing tips by hand
Selections arrive, and then someone has to sit and put each bet on, at the right price, before kick-off. Miss one and your results stop matching the record you're following.
How CSV upload works
Put your selections in a CSV file, a simple spreadsheet saved as text, and upload it to the bot. It reads each line and places the bet on your Betfair account, at your stake, within any price limits you've set.
Because it runs in the cloud, the bets go on whether or not your PC is on.
Keep your own limits on top
Selections from someone else still bet with your money, so your limits matter. Set a minimum and maximum price, a stop-loss and a profit target, and run in simulation mode first if you want to see how a set of tips plays out.
Or skip the file
If your selections follow clear rules, build those rules into a strategy and the bot finds the matches without a file. Or switch on our three football systems. All of it is in the £40 a month, after 3 days free.

Questions
What goes in the CSV file?
The matches and the bets you want placed. Log in to the members' area for the exact column layout, or ask us and we'll send it.
Do I have to upload every day?
Only when you have new selections. If you'd rather not upload at all, build the rules into a strategy and the bot finds the matches itself.
Can I follow a tipster this way?
Yes, if the tipster's selections are in a form you can put in a CSV. The bot places them at your stakes.
