The name Bet in Hebrew letters is בט. Below: how its number adds up, which page of the Torah it falls on and what verse stands there. Everything is computed, nothing is guessed.
בט
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is בט. The name comes from Hebrew: from אלישבע, Elisheba; in the Tanakh, the wife of Aaron (Exodus 6:23). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “God of the oath”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 11 — the same as the Torah word חג, “festival”. That number points to Torah page 11 of 354 — in the portion Noach. What that portion is about: The flood and the ark; the rainbow as a sign of the covenant; the tower of Babel; ten generations from Noah to Abraham. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Proverbs 8:20. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Bet” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: בט. A name from the Tanakh — its Tanakh spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.

they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird of every sort.

Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
with finals, reduced and ordinal — 11. A Torah word with the same number is חג — “festival” (Exodus 10:9).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 48. A Torah word with the same number is יובל — “ram's horn, jubilee” (Exodus 19:13).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 85. A Torah word with the same number is פה — “mouth” (Genesis 4:11).
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 13. A Torah word with the same number is אחד — “one” (Genesis 1:5).
The letters that come out are שנ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 350. A Torah word with the same number is עפר — “dust” (Genesis 2:7).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 831. A Torah word with the same number is לאתת — “for signs” (Genesis 1:14).
The number 11 appears in the classical books 14 times across 10 works. The earliest mention is מדרש לפירושים (~1450?).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 11. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.

The name בט does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.
The verse of your name
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with ב and ends with ט. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 3 such verses. The first of them is Proverbs 8:20:
«they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird of every sort.»
Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
