£50.

When I was about sixteen a fortune teller told me that I'd never win anything and I'd have to work hard for everything I have, and so far that's been true.
So the £150 is only what I'd be getting elsewhere in interest, but I'm ever hopeful that she was wrong and one day I land a big prize.

Hope and optimism

They could start a new version of Macbeth with that.

Is this an ISA which I see before me...

Out! Damned Spot(ter).

Dunno whether I've won owt...I wait for the email. Had a good run this year but last month was a blank.

I think it's fairer to compare vs an instant access account, the best of which currently are 5%.

That would bring in £208 a month with the full £50k, so that's what you're gambling each month. Or £42 for each £10k in there.

You could have about five lottery tickets a week for the interest you would get on each £10k in Premium bonds.


If you really wouldn't move it for 12 months you could get 6.2% as said above so the numbers become £258 and £52 respectively.

Also as said above PB winnings are tax free so worth considering how much tax you pay also.

So foul and fair a day I have not seen on the bond market.

I've put £300 a month in since Feb and just upped it to £500... and still got fuck all

[Taipan]

1 x £50 and 1 x £100! Juts had to buy a new lawnmower so that'll take the sting out of that!

[Demannu]

£300
Which takes us well over 6% return for the year.
Pineapple hedgehogs on me!

[Phoenix]

September £75.00 Best was August at £225.00. Yet to win £1,000.00 but one can live in hope - I think?

[MyLittleStudPony]

And that's what we're all buying really, the hope.

Hope makes a good breakfast but a poor supper.

[Taipan]

My Son-in-Law won £500 on the PBs and he's put £200 of it on a ticket for an RS6 on revcomps! My Daughter will kill him if he loses!

Come on fella, at least try.
If you have a contrary opinion then you could have used your post to politely point out where you think I was wrong and what you think would be a better approach. If you actually had anything decent to say then maybe some people reading might have even found it useful.

Looking at likes and feedback......

No one cares how many watches you have
Like wise with how many cobra meetings you attend
Like wise how many times you mix with royalty
Like wise how many large ones you chuck at 7 seater range rovers
I could go on. But........

I have a suggestion and advice for you........ you won’t like it but here we go........

Give up the bumming hat. You’ve had it that long it’s fubared. Worn out.
Give it to weeksy or at push I’ll have it

Go back to putting some real life posts on this forum. The masses will love you for it as I will do

[Bustaspoke]

I noticed this in the junk mail earlier

Even more chances to win
We increased our prize fund rate for the September prize draw from 4.00% to 4.65%, the highest it’s been for over 20 years. An extra £66 million was added to the prize fund with over 250,000 more tax-free cash prizes up for grabs.

The odds of each Bond winning improved to 21,000 to 1, meaning even more chances for you to be a winner!

Here's hoping
