    £25 for me this month, that's £25 more than last month :-)
  • £25 for me this month. Not won anything since October last year. Have also topped up my holding.
  • Nothing for either me or my husband since September last year :( (17k holding).

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    First month on 40k holding and nothing
  • No posts from either of this months millionaires?
  • I check bond winnings for several people and have noticed a trend. Can anyone else confirm this.


    If your winnings are below average take out your money and then re-invest in new bonds. As if by magic you start to win again!!!!


    All three cases have 30,000 invested.


    1) RS re-invested 33 months ago, had 30 wins in 22 months but only 2 in last 11 months.
    2) JL re-invested 26 months ago, has had 54 wins since then, missing out twice in last 3 months.
    3) ES re-invested 14 months ago, has had 20 wins with very few gaps to date.


    This looks to me like manipulation of the odds, what do others think?
  • Apparently not each one you hold has an equal chance of winning regardless of age.

    I don't think ERNIE sees age of numbers. Just numbers.
