    £100 'win' on £1,000 holding :)
    Quality (of holding) over quantity is important
    With average luck I can expect another £100 win once in the next 5 years
    I came, I saw, I melted

    Another £225 on £15k holding. I am on fire this year winning every month. Almost £1k!
    Another £150 this month! 8% equivalent interest rate for 6 months so far. 
  • £100 on FH, another poor month, total for year so far is £775.

    I know of a few other people on here like me that have had three blanks in a row on £50K but has anyone ever had more than that? If I get another blank next month I'll have to assume something has gone wrong with my bonds.

    I have a relative who is also clocking up more than their fair share of blank months so far this year so you're both definitely having below-average luck because, if you click on 'see more details' on this site, you'll see that someone on a full holding with average luck would expect to win nothing once every 11 months. This certainly seems to hold true for me, as I tend to win nothing roughly once a year.
