Harryjax Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Sound a bit to good to be true. Especially the prizes. Take a look. Scam or not what do you think. http://www.botb.com/HowToPlay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Very real, they're at all the airports and I know people that have won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliensurfer Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I also know someone who has won, an M5 if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jell36 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Website seems legit, I have seen the company with a stand containing a Porsche at Manchester Airport. But twice a month seems too good to be true and so suggests scam or something in the small print to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I've seen them at airports for years and avoid them like the plague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jell36 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Looks like I'm wrong and it is indeed genuine then. They must get a lot of entrants to be able to pay for the car and make money. I know they can sell peoples details on and make money from doing that but didn't think they would make enough to cover the cost of brand new cars every month.

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 They have various locations in every airport. Thousands of people passing each stand every few hours. They make loads of money out of it. Definitely not a scam. Just a clever business model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I've never seen anyone actually play at Stansted, but they must be making their money from somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK350Z Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 It's not a scam, just an expensive spot the ball comp. I'd enter all the time if it was an actual raffle/lottery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-350 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Pfft - You have more money than sense if you spend any money on that. You have about as much chance as dancing with the queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) I had a job interview with them a couple of years ago. Each member of staff must sell 19 tickets a shift or something mad, I wouldn't be surprised if they got heavy discounts from the car dealers as A) It's amazing advertising for them having a car or 2 in the middle of a busy airport for a month and B ) They probably buy a fair few cars off each manufacturer.

rabbitstew Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Yeah i see these at at lot of airports I go to and they do try and grab you in as you walk past, so I ignore them like the plague. I do occasionally see people suckered in and if im bored I watch how the sales process work. It looks like they get you to spec your dream car out on the screen, and take you through the massive sales speil about how wonderful it all is, before hitting you with the "oh its £50 a ticket" or whatever.

And you could be driving this £1 million super car away" "Holy crap, give me 3 tickets" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
