€50000 purchased in August 26 2010 – 8000 bonds, €50000 purchased 9th Feb 2011 – 8000 bonds
My actual wins / return to Sept 21 inclusive is €4075 .
Based on best available interest rate less DIRT my loss to September 30th is €702 ish.
I just need to get around to closing these down, great fun especially as you can access the prize bond tracker service online each Friday to see if you ' won ' , my biggest win was in one cheque amount of €250, I have reviewed my winning trends by graph and you'd hardly believe that my bonds seem to trend with repeat wins for a couple of weeks then nothing for a couple of weeks or a month and then wins again, I know it sounds implausable but I am starting to think there is some sort of rolling program pulling these out, it does not seem as entirely random as I would have expected.
in reply...I would not bother !
