It's random lol, don't move them around. Just look at some of the March winners in ascending order of holding

Be aware that offerings to Roman gods only works on Mondays and Wednesdays so you might need to consider other gods to get a good coverage throughout the week. It all depends on what day the draw takes place.StingyMinky said:

Years ago my wife won £5000 with a relatively new PB holding of about £2000. I suggested that she should probably cut and run because she had clearly used up her PB luck. She didn't and she continues to be very slightly luckier than me on a per bond basis. It's so unfair.

Have you thought about ditching your current husband and finding one less lucky? That way, you'll win more often than him."Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance" - Confucius6

Not true, from this moment onwards, over an infinite amount of time, it will be even, but it won't get back the 'luck' that has already happened..😁. On average he will always be slightly up now...Albermarle said:It will make zero difference as the process of allocating prizes is totally random. The only way to increase your chances of winning is to have more bonds.
If you both have the same number of bonds, then over a long period any 'luck' will even out .0
