Simulation/Live Mode Button

 
Toggling this button will change the mode from simulation to live mode.
The change will be instant and the button will turn Green for live mode.
 
Simulation mode is basically like paper trading or testing with no real money used.
 
Live mode will place bets with real money from your account.
 
 
 
When you change modes they will be applied immediately so please be careful.
 
When the simulation mode is on the software will do pretty much everything as normal except a bet
won’t actually be placed.
 
The results in simulation mode are estimated from the odds available at the time of the bet and the winner result
of the Race or Match. The winner results come straight from the Betfair API so are pretty reliable.
 
In live mode the profit/loss comes from the settled bet in your Betfair Account, while in simulation the winner results
coming from the betfair api determine the simulated P/L..
 
Sometimes these results are missing or wrong so a result cannot be given but in most cases it works fine.
 
You can always check the result yourself using https://www.racingpost.com/ results for horses
or https://www.ukdogracing.net for the greyhounds.
