I have my mortgage interview very soon, i was just wondering if my past would affect me .Back in feb over the space of one month i spent a total £5500 on online betting with varied deposits of £50-100 ,i never got into debt or even my over draft as i won in excess of £15000 ,however i was wondering wether this would be looked upon as bad ?This was just over one month and i have stopped completely now .Any advice or help would be appreciated thanks.

    If a lender does not ask questions I would be very surprised.

    I suggest you engage with a broker to source a new lender which is less likely to require bank statements.
