Nowt as per usual, and as above, all coming out this week. Barely had 250 quid winnings in 5 yrs. Would have been better off buying scratchcards or feeding the slots down the sea front.

So how much needs to be invested to achieve regular returns, based on experience over time?

From what i understand it's a kinda low risk low yeild type thing with random bonuses paid out like a lottery to attract punters. The more you invest the greater your chances of winning something that is unlikely to add up to what you would make from a decent investment... im no financial guru BTW, all my money goes on booze and bridget...

The most we had in was just over 22.5k, we never won anything really big, over a year it would be a return of 1-1.2k, the bonds we had were purchased over a period of time so not huge chunks of sequential numbers.
The ones I still have are the bonds both set of my grandparents bought me when I was a nipper, so they're sentimental and will remain so.
