Strategy Lab — Free UK Horse Racing & Football Backtesting

Strategy Lab is BotBlog's free backtesting application for UK and Ireland horse racing and European football. Build a horse racing system with filters for course, going, distance, field size, and odds bands, then test it against up to nine years of historical results before you risk real money on Betfair or any bookmaker.

Every account receives five free backtest credits per day, resetting at midnight UK time. No credit card is required to register. Save strategies, compare runs on the leaderboard, explore Insights for favourite win rates by track, and export run history to refine your staking plans and recovery rules.

Use 21 built-in strategy templates or build your own from scratch. Filter by discipline, race type, trainer, jockey, and starting price. Review A/E ratio, yield, and drawdown before you automate a system in BF Bot Manager or trade manually on Geeks Toy or Traderline.

Strategy Lab is for research and education only. Backtest results are hypothetical and based on third-party historical data from RacingFormBook and API-Football — not live Betfair exchange prices. Past performance does not guarantee future results. You must be 18 or over to create an account. If gambling is affecting you, visit BeGambleAware.org.
