    Indeed not, but you answered the question, so I asked a follow-up question.

    Well, they're one of the most slated "investment" products on this entire forum, generally returning less than a half-decent cash account for the majority of bond holders. Statistically you are likely to win more by going for a high-interest account and spending all (or even only half) of your interest on Lotto tickets.

    As such, I just wanted to make sure that you knew what you were going for and why.

    they're not entirely the best place for your loot if you want to make steady interest - having said that, we all like a bit of a bet.
