<p>[QUOTE="Dafydd, post: 26706378, member: 86815"]I ran the odds on this once as I was considering doing it but once you look at the odds of the high value wins compared to the low values its not so attractive but interestingly you can work out more or less what the promoter is grossing and its a lot. It's better odds than the lottery but absolutely no guarantee that you will clear your money, the math is also interesting when you take the top prizes and divide them by the boxes so its hundreds to one against getting your money back.</p><p>It is an exciting concept though if you gamble but its like any gambling the odds are always in favour of the house. If these were cash prizes I do not think it would get off the ground but of course the bait for collectors is acquiring something that would normally be outside of their budget or an "exotic" purchase.</p><p>I do get a lot of fun watching people open boxes though.
