Welcome to the scratch review

For some time I have been intrigued by the appeal of scratch cards. Of course they offer the chance to win large sums of money, in some cases, in excess of £1,000,000, but this seems to be a pretty remote possibility. Other cards with smaller prizes seem to have gained in popularity, even when the prize is as little as £100. I've looked at other review sites, and it seems that the average return on your speculation is around 60%. I want to try to increase this return if possible. Obviously this can't be done by just scratching cards and relying on luck.

I can see 3 ways to achieve my aims

  1. Reduce the cost of purchasing cards
  2. Earn supplementary income by monetising the scratching hobby
  3. Optimise the winning potential in the purchased cards.

I'm new to the world of scratch cards, and I hope you will join me in my travels through this interesting activity.
