How Does Tip-ie Work?
In order for Tip-ie to place the bets at the right time, your PC needs to be connected to the Internet. It's therefore pretty essential you have a broadband connection. Tip-ie uses the Betfair API to place the bets, so you'll also need to sign-up to the Betfair API agreement (don't worry it's free and painless).
When you load Tip-ie it will prompt for your Betfair username and password:
Once logged in you'll see the following Main Page (where bets are entered):
The top menu gives you options to save and load program settings, read about the latest program releases from IE Software, import selections (more about that later) and load any tipsters selections (including free ones and any you subscribe to).
Below the menu are the options to configure Tip-ie for your betting requirements:
The basic settings appear on the first line and act as default values for the bets you enter. They can be set individually after you've entered each bet, but if you intend using the same values for a number of selections, it makes things a lot easier to set them before entering your bets.
