BetTrader Trading Tutorial Videos

[munk]

Anyone who's taking part in the BetTrader Trading challenge throughout July might want to take a good look over at the videos here:

View Betfair Markets - RacingTraders.com

The video tutorial idea was started by Adam Todd (head honcho over at Racing Traders / BetTrader) at least a year ago (probably more, I got into BetTrader about a year back now) and is a brilliant way to learn more about trading using BetTrader. The videos are also damn funny at times...

If you look over on the site the videos are categorized so you can pick whichever suits you.

Configuring BetTrader / user settings:
BetTrader User Settings - RacingTraders.com
(various videos showing you how to configure BetTrader - especially check this video out which shows you how to configure the stake buttons in BetTrader which will be a must for a smaller bankroll like we're using on this challenge)

For anyone new to BetTrader and the ladder:
Ladder Interface - RacingTraders.com

The grid interface:
Grid Interface - RacingTraders.com

More advanced features and tools:
Features and Tools - RacingTraders.com

There are stacks of these videos I could link to here and say 'this one is essential', so I won't do that but would recommend you have a good look at as many of those over there as you can. If anyone needs any help on any aspect of BetTrader just shout.

Is it just me? But a lot of these videos don't seem to work?

All the ladder interface videos are working for me.

I had this problem and overcame it by doing the following in THIS order:

1. Uninstall media player from-control panel-add/remove programs

2.Go to contol panel-automatic updates-click on "windows update website" link

3.Install ALL the high prioriy updates via that link,then restart your pc

4.Download and install media player from this link:
Windows Media Player 11
where your copy of windows will be validated

I had problems streaming from the Bet365 website and one of their IT bods talked me through the above proceedure and all is now hunky doree!
Hope this helps

Yeah I noticed a few of the videos not working on the racingtraders.tv website which is why I posted the links to the main bettrader site which seemed to mostly work... didn't check them all out though recently, they might have been flaky since last time I watched them. (update: have just checked now and all seem to be working fine for me, could well be what racer54 is on about above did you try that? Or just right click on the links/videos and go 'save as' to download them first and then play them back later.)

You can find a lot of the videos over on youtube as well (although I don't think the key 'help'/basic functionality demo vids are there), have just been having a look to find some more useful ones now to add to the first post to help newbies to BetTrader.

This one below.... not so much useful... but I liked this a lot and have just booked a plane ticket on the back of it

Thanks for posting this Racer. I was having problems watching some of the videos, but following these steps seemed to sort out the problems.
