They need to sell lots of tickets to fund the cars and make a profit.

I still feel it's down to my skill so the odds move in my favour. Far better than a straight pot-luck draw.

Anyway I enjoy playing!

Everyone should give the regular free competition a bash. No brainer. Cuba holiday at the mo. Nice! :-)

Just chucked some entries on a Boxster, I guess it's a little more entertaining than pissing it away on the Lottery. smile

Wasn't me again. :-(

Guy who won has won before!! Lucky fella!

Bring on next week! :-)

From the results page ....

After 15 years of Dream Car competitions, Satwinder Johar has become the first BOTB player to win twice, adding a Porsche Cayenne Turbo to the Mercedes AMG GT he scooped a little while ago! Satwinder was on holiday in India when we contacted him to let him know the good news − he answered Will's call while driving and was so shocked he immediately had to pull over! A few minutes later we caught up with Satwinder on Skype − he was understandably elated…and still shaking!

Probably bought the ticket with game credit from the initial one that he won as well.

Just looking through the past winners, if I'm not mistaken, the car shown in the picture is a Range Rover L405 but this bloke seems to have won an Evoque.

He'd won two cars and two runners up prizes in four weeks, so either has superhuman spot the ball skills or was spending a fortune spamming the picture with dots. They've implemented a 150 ticket limit since his win last week so I'm guessing it was the latter.

Apparently they won't turn up with "your" car, usually a dealer demo. Often it's a different model but close enough for the effect in promo videos etc and the best they can source at short notice. The other week it was an SLS instead of an AMG-GT as the GT is not yet available. smile

Did you get £200 game credit for that out of interest? Can't be any closer, and that's what they say happen.

I was 11 pixels out this time, the closest I've ever been!

I usually spread 10 go's around the rough area I think it's in, so tend to get something back even if I'm off a bit.

Really need to take a break from this though as it's costing me a fortune...

No - I was a pixel away from the winner who in turn was one pixel away from the judges.
I also note that you now only get 100% stake return for the 'inner circle' instead of the previous 150%....

Thanks for this

No Probs.

Just a heads up that they're running a totally free competition at the moment. Worth a go ... :-)

It's the usual spot the ball format.

WIN A WEEK’S HOLIDAY FOR TWO TO CUBA!

Win the holiday of a lifetime to the unique city of Havana in Cuba! With its stunning beaches, everlasting sun, party atmosphere and Spanish colonial architecture, this beautiful Caribbean island promises to be like nowhere else you’ve ever visited!

We’ll be flying you from Gatwick with Virgin Airways where you’ll be picked up from the airport and taken to your luxury half board hotel.

No trip to Cuba is complete without a ride in a classic car, so we’re also throwing in a day’s excursion of Havana with your own private driver in a 1950’s classic convertible car of your choice – choose from a Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick or Pontiac to name but a few!
The free Cuba Holiday competition closes tonight if anyone fancies a last-minute try!

Looking forward to the results in a couple of days time. :-)

And I thought I was unlucky to be about 3 pixels away in the FREE competition.. I can't imagine the money you must have to spend to win twice. Either that or he is seriously lucky. I do the free monthly competitions religiously as a bit of fun, but aside from the free £5 go I've never paid for it. I'll keep pissing away £10 a week on the lotto instead.

The new Free Competition starts today! I've just entered.

Still hoping to win the trip to Cuba but the latest one sounds even better .......


EXPLORE THE FLORIDA KEYS AND THE BEST AMERICAN BEACHES IN STYLE!

Explore the stunning chain of Islands that make up the Florida Keys before heading up the luxurious Florida coast!

You’ll fly from the UK to Miami, where you’ll experience the golden sands of South Beach and the art deco treasure that is Ocean Drive. The next three days will be spent exploring Key Largo, Key West and Islamorada where you’ll drive across the incredible Seven Mile Bridge, enjoy great seafood, al fresco dining and flaming sunsets. Then head for Naples via Everglades National Park where you’ll spend the next few days on the sun-drenched beaches on the Gulf of Mexico before heading off to St Petersburg where you can explore Clearwater Beach, Orlando or Crystal River - whatever takes your fancy. You’ll soak up the last of the sunshine in Tampa before your flight home!

And that’s not all – if you hold a valid motorcycle licence, you can enjoy the first 4 days of this trip on a legendary Harley Davidson!
