Importing and exporting best bets

Best bets can be imported in bulk from a CSV file.

Importing and exporting best bets via the search dashboard

Best bets are exported by selecting the Tools  export menu item from the best bets listing screen.

Best bets are imported by clicking on the import button displayed on the empty best bets listing screen, or by selecting the Tools  import menu item from the best bets listing screen.

All existing best bets will be overwritten when importing so ensure that the CSV file includes all best bests you wish to apply to your search.
