Do you want to win a supercar in a competition?

Who doesn't want to win a Ferrari, Win a Lamborghini or win any other super car?

Fortunately their are a few super car competitions online in the UK that will help you win a dream sports car. The good thing and it is good, is that these online luxury supercar competitions are based on Spot the Ball. The promoters of the super car competitions charge for the entry fee to the Spot the Ball competitions so that means that the odds of winning are far greater then all the other free prize draws. It also means that your personal information will remain private.

So we all dream of driving a 500 horse power Italian super car like a Ferrari, Maserati or Lamborghini. We used to have these dream motors on our wall and dreamt of driving these luxury power cars. So winning a super car in a spot the ball super car competition seems like a good idea.

Super car competitions a sign of a mid life crisis?

Sure winning a new BMW or winning a new Porsche or other sports cars are every man's dream, But the people that enter Super car competitions could be an indication of a mid life crisis. All you need to do is look at the list of winners on BestoftheBest, the guys that run supercar competition out of the main UK airports like Gatwick and Heathrow airports.

Perhaps the success and list of winners of these competitions for these luxury car prizes also indicates that for younger crowds having a Ferrari parked on the drive way is not the best solution. Sure driving one for a week or two is appealing but owning your own Lamborghini sport car even if you won it for a few pounds still means that you will constantly worry when it is parked, how will you pay for all the petrol, the insurance, the protection of that luxury super car?

Perhaps we just want a dream car we can keep, winning a dream sports car that we can have without breaking the bank would be a start and getting some of the money to pay off debt seems to make a bit more sense.

Bestofthebest Airport supercar competitions with spot the ball game reviews

Bestofthebest supercar competitions

Bestofthebest co uk is a competition company that operates "spot the ball competitions" in airports across the UK such as competition in Heathrow airport and Gatwick Airport. www bestofthebest co uk is the website bestofthebest operate to allow players to enter their supercar competitions online.

Entries to the super car competitions are pay to play with the basic entry fee costing £20. The entry fee covers one entry using the skill based game of Spot the ball. A player is shown an image of a football action scene, the image has had the football removed and the player needs to select where the centre of the ball is located. Thus spot the ball requires players entering the spot the ball competition to pick a set of coordinates on the football image. The closest set of coordinates to that of the professional referee that selects the winning spot of the ball is declared the winner of the supercar competition.

Spot the ball is a traditional skill based game used to determine the winners of skill based competitions and football is a perfect game for this.

The grand prize of the bestofthebest super car competition is the choice of cars for the winner of the spot the ball. The winner wins the choice of cars as luxury prizes. The competitions allow the players to win a Ferrari, win a Lamborghini, win a Porsche or win a range rover luxury car.

If the entry fees to the supercar competition £20 then the objective is to at least cover the operating costs of the competition and generate a profit. Because information on bestofthebest is readily available and it seems clear from the statement of accounts that competitions need to generate at least 35,000 to 55,000 competition entries to generate the levels of revenue found in their statement of accounts.

The odds of winning a supercar such as a Ferrari or Lamborghini are about 1 in 45,000 for a $20 entry. Even if you get the discounted competition entries, granted the average competition ticket entry fee is reduced but it just dilutes the odds and make it all that more more to win.

Would you want to win a supercar or win a Ferrari?

Its beyond me what the you would do with a super car, yes it is what dreams are made of but a dream is but a dream. You would essentially drive your prize Ferrari for a week and sell it for something that you truly need, like an affordable can, a holiday and a home.

Taking the cash prize option from bestofthebest.

Most super car or luxury car competitions don't offer many alternatives. In the case of the bestofthebest competitions to win a super car you do have the benefit of taking a cash equivalent. But is the cash prize equivalent worth it for the winner? Well if most cars cost over £120,000 and many of them have a waiting list the demand for that luxury vehicle taking cash option isn't very good... What is the cash equivalent? Well the cash prize alternative to the competition winner is £80.000. This seems to be quite a rip off doesn't it?

Seriously, why do most companies not show how many competition entries there are. Stop keeping super car competition entries confidential and be more transparent with the operations and ticket sales and surely the customers and players will reward you.
