They could easier rig a few here and there I say they have build up a good brand

They've been dropping the prices to try to raise sales, stuff that used to be £10 are now £2 but with more entries, would suspect some of the multiple winners have bought a huge number of tickets, think a lot of people have just stopped doing the draws Brexit and VRT threats from Revenue dont help

I think most people have just lost interest in it at this stage, when there were fewer entries and the odds better it was worth a punt. Everyone I know that used to do the odd draw has stopped now as they're starting to think it's a scam with same winners multiple times. Personally I think some people are just throwing €1 or 2k at it and buying up a bunch of tickets happy to lose the money, turning into a rich mans raffle.

Were the odds a lot better before?When it change

Sales have definitely slowed down. They have an RS2000 up for raffle at the moment. I only enter for older stuff like the Escorts. A few months back that would have sold out in about 2 hours, not happening now. Also another group have a MK2 Escort up for raffle for days & sales seem really slow. It's up for days & still plenty of tickets left

Only enter for the classics/older cars too. No interest in the modern stuff.

I guess with R Kings in the North, it would be easier to collect IF we won.

Hadn't heard of bridgeclassiccarscompetition before. Thanks

Do you have to pay VRT on that?

Joeseph Balls · 29-12-2020 12:25AM

A lot of people probably got apprehensive after the agri comps thing

California Dreamer · 29-12-2020 10:17AM

I cant see how you can scam it. The numbers are randomly generated on google and its live.

It’s not that hard and was done before with another crowd

theteal · 29-12-2020 10:40AM

I would have been very sceptical of these until I saw I actually know a guy who won . . . . twice. Maybe there are some scam draws but definitely not all.

California Dreamer · 29-12-2020 10:46AM

I can only say from my own approach that it has been seamless so far. The draw was done yesterday. Saw my number and name mentioned.

Within an hour I had a phone call from them giving me details on when I can pick up the prize. Due to holidays etc I have yet to go up and get it but its all above board so far.

Well you have to pay by credit/debit card so I'd say if you are at that stage in the money laundering process you've already done a fairly good job laundering it.

They announced a different name and number to the one actually drawn. I remember seeing a video breaking down how it was done before but can't find it now. It involves having numerous tabs and windows open.

The original video was quite funny, you can hear people gasp in shock when they realized what happened
