I just won Best of the Best!

[mi1ne]

Well you have made me enter also. M3 here we come

[EnthusiastOwned]

I was tempted with an M3 but for some reason ended up going for an RS3

[knitware]

Played for the M2 too...

[craigsup]

I've played for the M2 and M3.
Hopefully I've been lucky!

[EnthusiastOwned]

Does anyone know what the actual odds of winning are?

Good question, better than the Lotto. Even if it were 50/50 I wouldn't win but it's good fun and I like to daydream.

Saying that I'm not lucky, however, I did win a Dracula board game in 1978, I think it was a Quaker Porridge competition,

I'm not sure there is asuch a figure as to an extent it is a game of skill.

The odds of winning if you put your "X" in the top left pixel of the screen is 0%. I did wonder how many people play - but even that doesn't give you the odds of winning.

As far as I can tell they also put the ball in place after the game, so it isn't actually the position of the ball when the photo was taken. Not sure if anyone can confirm this?

Interesting to know! I took a punt on it after this thread used my free £5 credit on a BMW M6 (No idea what I would do with it if I won lol) and was using the players eyes to work out the location of the ball. If they put the ball in themselves then shirly thats just pot luck rather than 'skill'.

[sanguinary]

Congrats! I play fairly regularly and usually win some of the entry fee back... One day...

It is pretty much luck. (it has to be to be legal) Sometimes the judges guess is about right but sometimes you'll be saying WTF!?

For the people judging it there never is a ball, they get the same image as the punter, and agree a place where they think the ball is between them. So I think it's hard to get actual odds, as you're playing against the combined opinion of three or four people, where they think someone should be and hoping it matches your selections.

Best I ever was, was about 4 pixels away

If I was to completely guess, i'd say that 75% of guesses would be reasonable and in with a chance of winning. I'd also guess (no idea at all) that they have at least 25,000 entries per game. So, a one in 18750 chance. Maybe.

Here's the spec I went for if anyone is interested...

Couldn't put anymore than that at the moment due to impending flat purchase and issues that have arisen with a property i am selling. I will add the 5 years servicing for £699 a month or so into ownership (you have about 90 days to do so).

Stratstone Mayfair have been great thus far and have treated me very well even though BOTB are the ones paying for the car!

Nah, that's mine For some reason I used my free £5 go on the Atom, then realised I don't have a garage for it if I won!!

That's basically what I did with my other two tickets. Was quite relieved when I realised it was the range other wise I would have had to sell the atom.

Good luck to the guys that have entered.

If you don't mind me asking how much would you normally spend? For my first time this week I bought 10 tickets, what do we all think would be about average?
I do realise that the individual prices are somewhat different!

[Calza]

Well, this just inspired me to buy 5 tickets for the F-Type.

Thanks OP, and congrats

I'd like to know this too. I only buy a few tickets at a time.
