It used to be once a month but is now weekly. Still enjoy doing it and the buzz of waiting for the results.
That's an addiction - you need to seek help. hehe
Yes but there's worse addictions to have!

They're very good at tempting you back every game with the game credits for being close.

With the credits it usually costs me less than £10 a week for 10 goes. Not too bad.

I'm convinced I'll win one day! :-/

Damn! Just checked and I was only 4 pixels away from winning a Porsche Macan S in last weeks competition! Grrr..

Must try harder!!!! :-/

At least I got a nice big credit back for being so close.

Trying for the Aston V8V this week! :-)

Only just watched one of the judging videos... what a joke. Surely the original image should be used and then the judges spend the 5 minutes choosing the exact centre pixel of the ball?

If I understand it correctly, the judges get to see the image where the ball has been removed & they then place the ball where they think it would be. You then have to guess where the judges thought it was.

So you see the same image as the judges basically.

Bah, you've all tempted me in....

... To use the free go.

Time will tell if I'm as big a sucker as I think I am and play more for actual money.

In the mean time, wish me luck!

It's far too addictive. You'll use up free credit, but then they'll give you £6 back for being close, so you may as well use it, but oh top that up, and you get 40% discount which seems silly not to use, and oh add on the £1 (actually 60p with the 40% discount) £10k entry because it would suck to win and not get £10k in the boot of the car too, just see what happens until next time...

Oh yes I'm suckered in every week but in truth it doesn't cost that much and it's good fun. Somebody has to win!

The credits and discounts definately tempt me week after week. Hey ho I could be spending my money on worse things!

There's aready been two winners from Pistonheads. Hoping I'll be No.3 !! :-)

They've added three cars this week at just £2.50 a ticket. That's £1.50 if you buy 10.

I can feel another hit on my credit card coming on... :-/

Just looked to see what they are..

Porsche Boxster, Range Rover Evoque and Mercedes A45 AMG

They're hiding in the "Special Offers" catagory in the "All Styles" dropdown box. :-)

Does it say anywhere how many tickets for each car they are actually selling? Is that how it works? or do they just pick on ticket from the hat for the month and that is it? how many tickets do they sell in total then? See what the chances of a win are rather than throwing my money into it for next to no chance of a win.

It's a spot-the-ball so based on your skill in matching the judges position. All independently done with auditors and external judges.

Get close and you get a nice credit back on what you spend.

They obviously sell a lot of entries but at the end of the day it's down to your skill. Not just a draw.

There must be a least one winner (weekly) too?

There's seems to be just one winner a week. Not sure what they do if two or more people get it spot on! Pick one I guess! I'll have a look in the T&C's.

BOTB said:
What happens if more than one person is equidistant to the judges position?

In the case that more than one person is equally close to the judges position in a competition, the winner will be determined by calculating the next closest entry of the players in question. The person with the closest second ticket is the outright winner. If any player in this scenario has only one ticket, all players that qualify will play in another Spot the Ball competition to determine the outright winner. All other players in this scenario will receive £500 in cash and £500 in Game Credit. Be sure to read the full terms and conditions.
I've always been curious about the BOTB, never entered, though.

It was really good when they limited ticket sales so you knew you weren't up against 20,000 people.
