Autopilot
Pick a strategy and a budget, and Autopilot bets UFC cards for you from your FightBets Cash.
Autopilot places bets for you, by a rule you pick. You choose the strategy and how much it can bet, and it does the rest before each UFC card.
Your bets are real money. No strategy guarantees a win, and you can lose everything it bets.
Turn it on
- Open your Wallet and find the Autopilot card under your Profit/Loss chart.
- Flip the switch, then pick a strategy. The list shows four first. Tap Show 5 more for the rest.
- Choose your Bet per fight and your Total budget. Type any whole dollar amount, or tap a preset.
- Check Next bets on the right. It shows which fighters it would bet on at today's prices, the total, and the cash you'd have left.
- Tick the box and tap Turn on Autopilot.

Backtest results
Each strategy shows how the same rule would have done on past UFC cards: its ROI and the balance needed. The strategy you choose also shows its entry, exit, wins and worst drop. Every test bet stays open until the result. The test uses $10 a fight, the market price 90 minutes before the card, and includes fees.
These are simulated results, not bets anyone placed. Each strategy bets only the part of the card where this test went well, and that choice comes from the same results, so they look better than real bets will. Real bets can get worse prices and fewer fights, because Autopilot only bets fights with enough liquidity. Past results don't predict future ones. The AI strategies aren't tested yet.
A fight that doesn't fit your strategy gets no bet. You can see why in Activity, under Skipped.
Which fights it bets on
- UFC cards only, on the part of the card your strategy bets, and on fights with at least $10,000 in liquidity.
- It starts 90 minutes before the card and checks again until the first fight.
- It skips any fight you already bet on.
- It won't bet if the price is much worse than the odds on screen.
Your limits
| Limit | What it does |
|---|---|
| Bet per fight | The same amount on every fight it picks, from $1 to $100. |
| Total budget | It stops when it has bet this much, up to $5,000. Winnings don't add to it. |
| Limit per card | The most it can bet on one card, up to $500. It starts at 4 times your bet. |
If your cash runs out, the fights it can't cover get no bet, and we let you know. Autopilot never places a smaller bet.
Bets come out of your FightBets Cash, your own money first, then any Bonus Credit.
Follow your bets
The Autopilot page shows your earnings, your next bets and every bet it placed. We also send you a notification when it places bets. Earnings count finished bets only, so money still in play isn't included.
A bet it places works like any other bet. You can cash out early, and it pays into your FightBets Cash when the fight settles.
Turn it off or change it
Flip the switch on the Autopilot page or the Wallet card. It stops placing new bets straight away. Bets already placed aren't affected: they run until they settle or you cash out.
To change your strategy or limits, tap Edit on the Autopilot page. Raising a limit asks you to confirm again.
When your budget is used up, Autopilot turns itself off. Raise the budget to turn it back on.
