The #1 Betfair Trading Community

When mastering sports trading on Betfair, joining an active and supportive community can make all the difference in accelerating your learning curve. The Bet Angel Forum is the most established online space in the Betfair trading community.

Receiving thousands of posts a month, the Bet Angel forum is the busiest Betfair Trading community.

The Bet Angel forum is open to everybody. Because of its origins, it is mainly populated with Bet Angel users. However, it is still a valuable resource, as it helps traders connect and share information in an isolating job. There are many diverse topics and discussions.

Here is how you can make the most of your experience there.


What is the Bet Angel Forum?

The Bet Angel Forum is an online discussion platform dedicated to users of the Bet Angel software and the wider Betfair trading community. Whether you’re an experienced Betfair trader or a complete beginner, you’ll find a range of topics and discussions to support your betting journey.

  • User-friendly interface: Easy navigation allows you to quickly find the discussions that matter.
  • Wide range of topics: From in-play strategies and data analysis to software tips and mental preparation for trading, you’ll find a thread for nearly every interest.
  • Open to all: While it’s primarily aimed at Bet Angel users, anyone looking to learn about Betfair trading methods can benefit.

Why Join the Bet Angel Forum?

Access to Expert Knowledge

Many of the members on the Bet Angel Forum are seasoned traders who regularly share their wisdom. The forum provides insights that might be hard to find elsewhere, including practical advice on software features and tips for optimising trading strategies.

Supportive Betfair Trading Community

Sharing ideas and experiences is a key part of learning. Engaging with fellow members allows you to compare strategies, get feedback on your trades, and exchange tips for success in the wider Betfair trading community.

Betfair Trading Software Advice

Bet Angel, the premier Betfair trading software, is ever-evolving. By staying tuned to forum discussions, you can keep up with new software features or changes and how to use them to improve your betting or trading.

Betfair Data

Packed with Betfair data, the forum is an excellent place for sharing data and refining trading techniques through a collaborative and insightful community.

Betfair Automation

With over 300 ready-made templates available, traders can quickly get started or customise them to suit their needs. Share ideas, advice, and templates, making it easier to optimise strategies and learn from others’ experiences.


Getting Started on the Bet Angel Forum

Step 1: Create an Account

Signing up is straightforward—provide your details, confirm your email address, and you’re in.

Click on this link to register

When you choose a username, choose an anonymous alias that can’t be linked to you or your Betfair username. This is mainly a security requirement but also ensures the highest compliance standards with relevant laws.

Contact support if you have made a mistake and wish to change your username/alias.

Step 2: Introduce Yourself

Make a brief post in the introductions section. Let others know who you are and what aspects of Betfair trading you’re most interested in. This helps you connect with people who share your focus or have relevant expertise.

Your first post to the forum will be moderated; see further down for why. So you won’t see your first message instantly. But once moderated, all future messages will appear immediately.

You can edit a message, including deleting it for up to 24 hours.

Step 3: Explore the Discussions

Take time to browse through various categories, from “General Discussion” to “Advanced Trading Techniques.” Pay attention to threads that align with your goals, and feel free to ask questions—no query is too basic or too advanced.

Step 4: Contribute

As you gain experience, return the favour by sharing tips, answering newcomers’ questions, or posting your own success stories and lessons learned. An active community thrives on mutual support.


Exploring the forum

The main index page for the forum lists all categories that you can post or read.

  1. Browse or search existing sections: The Bet Angel forum often has sections dedicated to software questions, trading strategies, general discussion, etc.
  2. Enter the relevant section: Click on the section that matches the topic you want to discuss or the question you want to ask.

Topic short cuts

The menu bar at the top left of the forum provides some quick links and some other links to key views of the forum. Most people bookmark their favourite view for quick access.

The Quick links provide a drop-down menu for the most commonly used views.

New Posts displays a list of completely new posts that you may not have seen.

Active topics displays a list of topics which are being actively discussed.

Active Sports Topics allows you to screen out ‘chatter’ and focus on sports


Starting a New Topic

Compose your message: Provide as much relevant detail as possible—this helps other forum members offer accurate assistance or feedback.

Look for a ‘New Topic’ or ‘Post New Thread’ button: Typically located near the top-left or top-right of the forum section.

Write a descriptive title: Make it clear and concise so others know immediately what your post is about (e.g. “Help with Automation Rules Setup”).


Forum Moderation Policies

At Bet Angel, we maintain a light-touch policy that encourages free speech and debate while protecting the forum from spam, backlinking and maintaining order.

We welcome spirited but civil discussions and only intervene if posts harm the community atmosphere. Threads are locked only as a last resort to ensure everyone continues to enjoy the forum.

Spam and Backlinking

SPAM & Backlinking

Each morning, our first job is to remove and ban spammers from the forum, which is our biggest problem. One way we manage this is to moderate your first post on the forum. This is a very effective measure to prevent spam.

We receive many backlinking requests and refuse them all. Therefore, people try hard to add these URLs to the forum to obtain a backlink. Sometimes we will retrospectively remove links where we feel this is the primary purpose.

It’s a big problem, so you may find a link removed even if it is part of a discussion. Our aim here is to discourage the forum from becoming a place to promote products, even if it’s done surreptitiously. To avoid getting a link removed, just part-post it or discuss it and let people find it themselves.

Persistent abusers can end up being auto-moderated.

Don’t like a discussion or participant?

Wouldn’t it be nice if everybody got along constantly without any difference of opinion? Well, this is the real world, and that’s unlikely. Just like in a betting market, people have differing opinions.

Our advice to you, in general, is just to ignore anything you don’t like. If you starve a fire of fuel, it will soon die out. Getting into a circular argument can fuel the fire. We know it’s hard sometimes, but it’s the best way.

There are a couple of other ways to help you achieve this.

Active Topics vs Active Sports Topics

Some of the most lively discussions can involve non-sports topics. We have tried to moderate these discussions, but that can be incredibly hard. So we split the forum into ‘Active topics’, which contain all discussions, and ‘Active sports topics’, which are purely related to sports events.

Bookmarking the ‘Active Sports Topics’ is a great way not even to see any non-sports discussion and keep you focused on what’s important.

Here are direct links to ‘Active Topics’ and ‘Active Sports Topics’

Friends & Foes

When you create an account on the forum, you will have a ‘User control panel’ where you can modify user-specific settings, including adding your own avatar.

Also in this area is a feature called ‘Friends and Foes’.

Adding somebody to the ‘Foe’ list will mean you never get to see their posts, and it’s a good way to stop yourself from being ‘triggered’ by them.
