FH.
5 prizes this month
2 x £50
3 x £100
So £400 in total and giving a rolling percentage rate of 5.85% over the last 12 months.
Happy.3 -
Zero this month - I knew I was statistically likely for a blank month, as I've not gone more than 5 or 6 months of consecutive wins in 37 draws. Brings my rolling year return down to 4.772%, so still above my personal threshold for keeping them.
The longest fix I still have running, taken out a few months after my first PBs, would have returned me 12.66% of the capital in that time period. PBs have returned me 14.43% of the capital (actual wins and interest on those funds) - so on balance I'm pretty happy with that.1 -
£50 on FH after £100 last month. Rubbish year so far with average of £85 a month.0
-
After the February draw I reduced my holding to £10,000. Since then (3 draws) I've won nothing. I think £10k should still be enough to be worth having a holding, will keep an eye on it over the coming months.1

£100 on FH. Meh.
Reducing from FH from the next draw to 15K. Not connected to the low return this month, but from now on I hope I'll see any "win" as a nice surprise rather than a slight disappointment1 -
£125 this time. Last dry month was Jan 23. Rolling year at 4.39% so not too shabby.2

Well, after last month's win of £1000, I was expecting to win £0 this month and I would have been ok with that but to my surprise and delight, I have won £125 this month. 2x£50 1 x £25. Still have £8400 holding.Corduroy pillows are making headlines! Back home in London now after 27years wait! Duvet know it's Christmas, not original, it's a cover.1

Hang in there, Last August I reduced my holding of 50K down to £10000, I only won a single £25 over the next 3 draws, I then, towards the end of November drew out another £900 and won £450 over the next 3 draws, towards the end of March I drew out another £700 and Won a single prize of £1000 in April and £125 this month.El_Torro said:After the February draw I reduced my holding to £10,000.
