£150 (2 x £25 + £100) on maximum holding. I've won something every month since I got them 8 months ago.

Doesn’t this one example show that this silly conspiracy theory ... is just silly?!

8 winning draws on the trot on max

i guess some people are just lucky- some ain’t

New to PBs. Had first ever draw this month on £20k and won 2 x £25. Beginners luck?

This month 2 x £25 on £19,500 holding.

Started off with £500 holding in November 2019 and winnings before this month have been:
£25 June 2020
£25 Nov 2020
£25 Jan 2021
2 x £25 March 2021

I remember someone telling me. Chance has no memory. Or:-  there is 1 chance in 46656 of throwing 6 consecutive sixes, but having thrown 5 you have exactly the same chance of throwing a sixth one as you had of throwing the first; 1 in 6. 

Having won a £1000 prize in my second draw (and I'm not going to stop telling people!)  neither increases nor decreases my chance of winning in subsequent draws. 

I hope I've got all that right, I'm not a statistician, as you may have noticed,  but I've been drilling down into the numbers and I have had three prizes in the last three months from one block of 200 bonds. 

I won the £1000 in June. In July a bond 47 earlier in the sequence than the June winner won £25 and in August a bond 129 after the June winner won another £25.

£25 on the first month of full holding. I've won a prize 6 months in a row. I hope those who have had a barren spell have better news next month.

£100 on 2 X max holdings

Nothing for me on 34k holding - this is the second month of zilch, although probably what I deserve after my first 7 months of winning each time!

5th month in a row of nothing with £17k holding... 

17000 / 34500 = 0.49 to win = 0.51 to not win each month

0.51^ 5 = 3.4% chance !! 

!!!!!!. I am cursed.
