    3.33% (This account needs to be kept seperate as its the hardship fund, and I may need to dip into it if hubby goes through a lean patch at work.)

    Apart from the 3.33% I am impressed.

    Yeah, but the 3.33% reveals her status as an amateur.

    If you are willing to speculate then what is wrong with arbitrage sports betting ?

    Actually i thought that 3.33% looked a bit naff, i got it mixed up with the interest i was getting on my current account.  I correct myself.

    I might be wrong but i think if you check your cahoot account you will find the interest rate to be 5.65% ;)

    You will have to disqualify yourself from betting as you are a player in the game. You may be tempted to back yourself to lose and end up winning the bet rather than the competition.

    The key is you bet on all outcomes of the game in a way that you cannot lose.

    This betting lark is just a means of exploiting 'hot money'
    that flows around the economy. Much of it is staked on an emotional basis. A mathematical approach to dealing with this money should yield profits were all financial transactions trustworthy.
