The BetTrader Story

Adam Todd, Founder of RacingTraders

BetTrader was designed and developed by Adam Todd, one of Betfair’s most consistently profitable traders. Adam turned a starting bank of £200 into over £100,000 by trading on the short term price fluctuations of the favourite horse on UK horse races before the race started.

Without ever watching a race or picking up a formbook he won 9 out of 10 races before the runners had even left the stalls and at one point went 8 months of full time trading without having a losing day.

2004 launch of BetTrader

In 2005, after getting tendonitis in his right arm from the millions of mouse clicks needed to refresh and submit bets to Betfair's website, Adam developed the first Betfair trading software application, called BetTrader.

It's purpose was to give him live price refreshes and to allow him to submit bets at any price with only one click of the mouse, and Betfair's first ladder interface was born.

BetTrader was the only Betfair trading application to have a Ladder price display which displayed prices vertically and it became an immediate success. BetTrader completely revolutionized how thousands of people used Betfair, and it is still the most popular Betfair trading application on the market today.

In 2009 Adam Todd decided to completly re-write the BetTrader interface to make use of modern browser technologies.

Completely re-written from the ground up by a pioneering team of developers, BetTrader Evolution is currently the only browser based trading software on the market today.

2009, the birth of the Evolution

BetTrader Evolution is the most innovative and intuitive Betfair trading platform on the market today. It is a browser based software application that displays live updating Betfair markets in your internet browser, allowing you to place bets faster and more effectively than is possible with the Betfair website. The streamlined bet submission processes allow you to place bets with fewer clicks and less mouse movement. The extensive trading tools can also place bets for you automatically when predetermined conditions are met.
