I did not think thast it would be as "accurate" as that as I would have thought that they would have skewed the exchange rate in favour of their "base" currency. ie less favourable cashing away from the base currency.

If they are totally honest with "reverse" rates then because they are calculated to 4 decimal places could account for the od penny/cent here and there

I think John was hoping to have invented a clever money making scheme. If it rounded up he could have made as much as 2p a minute on currency conversions - THWARTED!

Right now (presumably a quiet time) there are over 200,000 people playing on Stars. A halfpenny from each of them creamed off by the site on currency conversion totals £1,000. Wouldn"t take them long to generate £1million that way.

It"s basically Richard Pryor"s scheme from Superman 3. And we fall for it.
