# Bet Templates

Bet Templates allow you to save and reuse bet configurations, making it faster and more efficient to place multiple bets with similar settings. Templates are particularly useful when you need to place bets with the same parameters but for different races or runners.

## What are Bet Templates?

A bet template is a saved configuration of your bet settings that can be quickly loaded when creating new bets. Templates save all bet parameters except for race-specific information, allowing you to:

* Place multiple bets with consistent settings across different races
* Save time by avoiding repetitive form filling
* Maintain consistent betting strategies
* Reduce errors by using pre-configured settings

## What is Saved in Templates?

Bet templates save **all bet settings except**:

* Race information (competition, race number)
* Runner selection
* Target bots/sessions

**Everything else is saved**, including:

* Bet type (Fixed Wager, Fixed Profit, High Odds First)
* Wager amounts and profit targets
* Odds checking preferences (minimum/maximum odds)
* Bonus bet settings
* Strategy labels
* Scheduling options
* All other advanced settings

## Using Bet Templates

### Creating a New Template

When creating a bet from the [My Bets](/documentation/bet-engine/notifications.md) page:

1. Navigate to **My Bets** → **Create New**
2. Fill out all your desired bet settings (except race/runner details)
3. Click **Save as Template**
4. Enter a descriptive name for your template
5. Click **Save**

Your template is now available for future use.

### Loading an Existing Template

To use a saved template:

1. Go to **My Bets** → **Create New**
2. Click **Load Template**
3. Select from your list of saved templates
4. The form will be populated with your saved settings
5. Add the race/runner information and target bots/sessions
6. Create your bet

### Template Management

You can manage your bet templates in two locations:

#### From the Create Bet Page

* **Load Template**: Select and load any saved template
* **Save Template**: Save current form as a new template
* **Quick Access**: See recently used templates for faster selection

#### From Account Settings

Access comprehensive template management from your [Account Settings](/documentation/account/account-settings.md):

* **View All Templates**: See complete list of saved templates
* **Rename Templates**: Update template names for better organization
* **Delete Templates**: Remove templates you no longer need
* **Template Details**: Review what settings each template contains

## Best Practices

### Template Naming

Use descriptive names that help you quickly identify the template's purpose:

* "High Stakes Racing - Fixed Wager $100"
* "Value Betting - Fixed Profit $50"
* "Tipster Follow - High Odds First"
* "Conservative Play - Min Odds 2.5"

### Template Organization

* Create templates for different betting strategies
* Use consistent naming conventions
* Regularly review and remove unused templates
* Keep templates updated with your current preferences

### Efficient Workflow

1. **Create Strategy Templates**: Set up templates for your main betting approaches
2. **Quick Selection**: Use the most appropriate template for each bet
3. **Customize as Needed**: Adjust specific settings after loading a template
4. **Save Variations**: Create new templates for frequently used variations

## Common Use Cases

### Following Multiple Tipsters

Create templates for each tipster with their recommended settings:

* Tipster A template with Fixed Wager $50
* Tipster B template with Fixed Profit $100
* Load the appropriate template based on the tip source

### Different Bet Types

Maintain templates for various betting strategies:

* Conservative template with minimum odds checking
* Aggressive template with higher stakes
* Bonus bet template with specific bonus settings

### Race Type Variations

Create templates for different types of racing:

* Gallops template with specific settings
* Harness template with different parameters
* Greyhound template with tailored configuration

## Time-Saving Benefits

Bet templates significantly reduce the time needed to create bets by:

* **Eliminating Repetitive Form Filling**: No need to set the same options repeatedly
* **Reducing Errors**: Pre-configured settings reduce mistakes
* **Consistent Strategy Execution**: Ensure your betting strategy is applied consistently
* **Quick Strategy Switching**: Easily switch between different betting approaches
* **Streamlined Workflow**: Focus on race selection rather than configuration

Bet templates are an essential tool for efficient bet management, especially for users who place multiple bets with similar settings or follow consistent betting strategies across different races.
