I'm having to hang up my betfair boots soon, as I'm off to retire to Turkey. Unfortunately, you can't access exchanges over there.
I've been making a fair whack IR on the horses over the last few years. I'm going to post my selections for the last few weeks. Hopefully I can help a few of you out. I'm in bed with a bad spell of sciatica today, so it will also help me pass the time.
I'll post 5-10 minutes before each race.
There will be a combination of backs, lays and trades.

Good luck with Turkey. Sounds like a country on the brink of third worldness to me.

For the sake of this thread, I will post profits -5% commission.
The bet will only stand if £100+ is matched at the desired odds (or higher/lower depending on if it's a back or lay). Bet Horse Bet Matched Result of bet P/L (-5% com) Running P/l 1.

Well I'm an outright layer myself but I like to follow the action IR anyway. Bit unlucky there with Lets Move It, almost got the race!

Do you have much success Homer? What sort of odds do you target to lay?
Would have been +£150 on the race. Very close! |

I do ok jimk, it pays the bills! I only lay under 8.0 and always pre-off, my average lay price is just over 5.0 over last 500 bets.

I make fairly extensive notes on every race, it all goes into my 'money book'.
I combine that and the racing post to get my selections. There's a fair few today. I've been in bed for three days now, so I've had a lot of time! |

Lovely bet on Punching, very well done again.

Thanks.
Bonoman nearly matched (2.5ish) Quintus not matched. No P/L for those races. |

Do you essentially study running styles and race shape jimk or would that be a simplification? Nice going, anyway. Enjoy yr retirement!

By:
Duncan, that's a good summary, yes.
It gives me an edge, because it's not something you can find in a form book. Will do, thanks. 14:10 Cucumber Run Back £100 at SP Lay £100 at 1.25 This one should win with a bit in hand imo. |

Worst thing you can do with sciatica is lay in bed all day! whichever doc/quack told you to do that, never see them again. hth

Alpha, unfortunately I can't stand up it's that painful.
I normally go through a couple episodes a year. I'm in bed for 3/4 days, then fine after another week or so. I'm having therapy for it.

Thanks.
I'll be back at 6ish for the last one. So far, 13 selections, 4 bet not matched, 2 break even, 7 winners, +£439.85 to advised stakes. I'll continue tomorrow, will be aiming for a similar day. |

good work, jimk. is that a typical day for yourself?!

|
By:
thanks quince []

By:
Duncan, a bit better than average.
Of course, there are good days and bad days. My stakes are bigger than those recommended above. I aim for six figures a year and I've been thereabouts the last three years (even though I've been holidaying a lot!) |
