Main Window Menu

Updated on 2024-05-27

The Main Window menu of Betting Toolkit consists of the following items: Login, Tools, Functions, Markets, and Help.

LOGIN
From the Login menu, you can perform three simple but essential operations. The first is to connect to Betfair.com, enabling Betting Toolkit to start receiving data for all the available events.

Clicking on Login... it opens a small window where you need to enter your Betfair.com account Username and Password. There's an option to remember the Username to avoid typing it every time for future logins. However, the password is not saved. We emphasize that the login credentials, particularly the password, are encrypted and that the connection to Betfair.com servers is absolutely secure. Betting Toolkit is authorized and certified by Betfair, having passed their rigorous security standards.
After entering the Username and Password correctly, click the Login button to start using the program. Alternatively, you can quickly access the login procedure by clicking the grey circular icon at the bottom left.

The Update Balance function manually updates your Betfair.it account balance, which can increase or decrease based on your betting activities. The balance, expressed in euros, is displayed in the main window at the bottom left. In the Betting Toolkit Options, under the Betfair Data tab, you can also enable automatic balance update and set the desired frequency from a minimum of 30 seconds to a maximum of 3600 seconds. In the same tab of the Options window, you can also disable the balance display.

Through the Balance Chart option, you can obtain a chart showing the trend of your account balance and market exposure. Since balance data is processed locally, it is archived with each use of the program. Therefore, it will take a few days of use to generate a meaningful chart.
The Logout function allows you to disconnect from Betfair.com and stop receiving data streams. A small dialog window will confirm your intention to disconnect, and once confirmed, you won’t be able to perform any operations with Betting Toolkit until you log in again. Disconnecting will keep the program open but inactive; to close it, click the "X" at the top right of the Windows window. Closing Betting Toolkit with an open session will trigger a confirmation window informing you that any trading or stop loss orders will not be executed, while orders already placed in the market will remain unless the heartbeat function is active. Details on this function can be found in the Options section under the Betfair Data tab.

TOOLS
From the Tools menu, you can access the Options, where you can configure various program features, customize the graphical interface colors, and sounds. In the Options, there are tabs for General, Colors, Market Window, Grid, Ladder, Betfair Data, Trading, Cash Out/Dutching, Stakes and Charts, Sounds 1, Sounds 2, Live Score, Shortcuts, Horse Race Times and Log. Each tab contains all available settings for that type of functionality. Detailed explanations for each options tab are found in the Options chapter.

FUNCTIONS
Under the Functions menu, you will find the analytical and management functions of Betting Toolkit. Detailed explanations for each function are available in the dedicated Functions section.

MARKETS
The Markets menu appears when one or more market windows are open, allowing you to quickly switch between them by clicking the desired market.

HELP
In the Help menu, you will find important items, including the "Enter Registration Code" option where you input the code to activate or renew your Betting Toolkit license. Other items include the Betting Toolkit Online Guide, which links to this guide, News linking to the public Betting Toolkit Telegram channel, links for Customer Area, Betting Channel where you can find lots of Betting Toolkit video tutorial, Betfair Charges and Quick Subscription Renewal to quicky purchase or renew the Betting Toolkit subscription.
