Some good news in a recession!!

I just realised that the some money I have at a poker site is priced
in dollars so my 'bankroll' has increased by about 20% in real terms :j:j:j

Nice to see one 'investor' is bucking the trend :rotfl:

And lets face it gambling on a poker site is a safer investment than putting the money
in a bank or shares these days!! (provided the site doesn't go bust!!).

lol, it's starting to look like betfair might be the safest financial institution around.

I wonder if I can trade Sterling to Australian dollars. Or a European bookie that holds accounts in €uros? I wonder what their exchange rates and/or charges are like?

It would "only" be a safe investment if you withdraw it back to your bank and not "gamble" with it.

But...banks ain't safe, innit?

Ladbrokes is the one I was thinking of which is in dollars, but I just realised I have
some in Party Poker too which is also in dollars!! A tidy little sum all in all.
