They will email and text everyone on their contacts list about it tomorrow and by the time the draw happens I doubt there will be many left at all.S16KBW said:
Just seen this while buying tickets on one of the sites, wasn't there an argument a few pages back about how your odds don't just half if you buy two tickets 
Ha the argument was buying 2 tickets for 1 draw was the same odds as buying 1 ticket in 2 draws. Guilty, which is why aside from odd little one I either buy a few tickets or none at all S16KBW said:

It's poor wording on their part and very poor form on the bit that adjusts to show your new 'odds'. The odds can't change, they are only drawing one number, so every ticket has a 1:15600 chance. You can increase the probability of winning by buying more tickets, but you can't lower the odds!There are 15600 numbers in the draw, buying two tickets does not magically decrease that to 7800, they are picking 1 number from 15600 regardless of how many tickets you've bought.
To put it simply, if what they say is true, if they for some reason drew 7800 numbers, your number would be guaranteed to come out...clearly, that's not the case.

1/15,600 + 1/15,600 = 2/15,600 = 1/7,800
Two tickets = twice the likelihood = half the odds.

7days haven't processed my entries for the Lambo competition this week and their customer support are quite bolshy about it.
Sent 4, had 4 processed. Rev Comps have gone completely cold on me though. If I was to guess I'd say they genuinely haven't received them, they are one of very, very few companies with an excellent track record (and fully compliant T&Cs).pidsy said:
Anyone fancy the Porsche or Audi on DCG?
What would you choose?
Porsche all day long, no effort to shift when you've had your fun and need to buy something else (it'll be worth loads too), the Audi has some mods that need undoing if you want a hassle free sale.What would you choose?

Revs have been very hit & miss for me, sent a load off had 3 processed. DCG have been the best so far, processed all postals bar the M5 the other weekEdited by ch37 on Friday 26th November 14:45
