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.
Thank you rocket.
It's quite nice if you know where you're going.
I'm off to Hisaronu.

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).

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!
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.
Fair play, Homer!

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!

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

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.

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

Jimk, Turkey sounds like a shrewd move, you probably already know investment groups are saying this...
The firm has named Brazil as the number one investment destination in the world, though according to McKenzie it was a "toss up" to choose between Brazil and Turkey, which came a close second. McKenzie explained:
"Both have been completely stabilised and reformed for the better by two terms of excellent governance, both now have stable and rapidly growing economies, and both are seeing growing affluence in the population cause demand for housing to outstrip supply by a large and increasing amount.

Jimk - Nice work today. TBH though if you're getting 6 figure profits every year on here why on earth are you giving it up to move to Turkey? I know the climate will be better but surely making money doing something you enjoy is a better perk?
Trevh, I've had an apartment there for a few years now. Seeing it as my new home rather than an investment, but it's always nice to know it's increasing in value.
No moves, lamb brain soup is my favourite!
Mginvest, I've made enough money to now enjoy retirement. There's no point in working for ever. There's no shops in the graveyard.
However, yes I do enjoy it. I'm tempted to carry on in some sort of way, not entirely sure how much involvment though. Something to ponder.
Racingguru, please explain how to do it. I'm listening :)
Back/leg is feeling a lot better today. Walked downstairs this morning. Going to try and be a bit more active today.
