Just received an e-mail asking for £2 per play to enter the lottery to support the academy, good idea no issue with that, but the club arn't organising this themselves so it's absolutely terrible terrible value compared to any normal lottery.
most times I've been to sporting events and have been offered lottery tickets they are 50/50 draws, club gets 50%, 50% goes to prizes. Support your club, chance to win a decent amount of money all good fun.
Our club though are obviously incapable of doing their own lottery so use an external company, you get 9% (instead of 50%) back as prize money with the external company getting 41%.
Honestly if you want to support the academy just hand over your money outright rather than taking part in such a dreadful odds lottery. This is nearly 5 times worse payout percentage then the national lottery which is already a bit of a mugs game, though I do play.
windows live mail filed the e-mail as junk, I agree with microsoft.
The club does get 50%.
What are you on about?
What I wrote wasn't complicated. What I wrote is.
Normal 50/50 lottery, club gets 50%, 50% goes to prizes.
This lottery, club gets 50% and 9% goes to prizes. 41% goes to the company.
I actually made a mistake though and the company only actually takes 39% as if you win the jackpot they give money to the club as well.. It's still 4 times worse than the national lottery though.
In fact this lottery is so bad if you have £4 and want to help the club you should give £2 to the club (just give it, don't buy a ticket) and spend £2 on a national lottery ticket. The club gets the same ammount as you buying 2 x shitty lottery ticket. but you get a bigger percentage back yourself on average.
For every 2 pounds ticket one pound goes to the club, not sure what they're teaching in schools nowadays, but that used to be 50% of the total when I went.
They also split the jackpot between the club and the ticket holder if won.
I'm not sure what they are teaching in school these days because it's clearly not reading comprehension. You need to go back and read what I've written again. I know the club get 50% and have posted so in both comments you replied too. I also talked about the jackpot split in the most recent post you replied to, it changes the company take from 41% to 39%
Does the club get 50% or are you just talking bollocks though?
seriously what is complicated.
The club get 50% I've posted it in every post. you are the one talking bollocks.
The amount WE, US, The PLAYERS!!! get back is so bad that if you want to give money to the club, give the club the money directly and buy a lottery ticket, the club still get 50% of your £4, a national lottery cause get 25% of your £4, you get 21% of your £4 back on average in prizes.
Does the club get 50% or are you just talking bollocks though?
Does it really matter? As you said give the money direct to the club if you're that bothered about it.
Though with NOPM surely nobody should be buying a lottery ticket like this anyway.
Supporting Sisu financially scum you are.
I havn't given sisu a penny since they took us to northampton. I realise using we, us the players suggested I've brought a ticket, but I was trying to spell out for the hard of thinking that I wasn't talking about the club cut but the terrible prize structure.
I'm not bothered about it and certainly won't be buying a ticket, I posted for the benefit of those people who don't understand odds so they aren't wasting their money supporting a private company. Some peoples brains work differently, knowing weather something is good value is just something that comes to me, so I don't take things like the insurance sold by electrical retailers (and nor should you).
I've clearly overestimated the intelligence of some posters.
Support them if there's something in it for you?
very moral.
Using 'weather'. Then questioning others' intelligence. Lol.
Isn't the academy grant funded ?
I'm 100% confused.com!!! Literally LOLLING!!!
Does the club get 50% or are you just talking bollocks though?
Or does Sissu get the 50 % and the club Fuck all
Supporting Sisu financially scum you are.
God ,there are a few on here who love an argument.I thought the OP was very clear in what he was saying
For every 2 pounds ticket one pound goes to the club, not sure what they're teaching in schools nowadays, but that used to be 50% of the total when I went.

Only partially, think that any grant has to be equalled by the club, but can't be certain.
