  • Single £25 this month. Was on course for a record year this year but it tailed off at the end and ended being the 2nd best year. 

    24 wins and £700 gives a 1.40% return for the year.

    Still no winnings on £40k for a second month.   :(


    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    My return for the year was exactly 0.9% - it appears I am 'Mr. Average' !  :D

    £25 win on just shy of £24k. First win since August.

    Average holding over January to December: £17760
    Total winnings £100
    Equivalent average monthly income: £8.33
    Average return 0.56%

    So, I'm doing worse than average.
