Looks ok to me and the telephone number works - well a bird answers the phone, "Good afternoon Gliant". Expect that means sweet FA though - basically I don't have a clue I'm just bored!

I think someone on here had a similar idea to generate cash.
Not sure if it's a scam but they will make a lot if it works
for example, the mini
£20.00 per tickey
Odds: Only 1,500 tickets
So they get £30,000. Clear £15/20k profit. i.e. more than doubling their money. Not sure what happens if they don't sell all the tickets though. Guess it relies on a lot of people gambling (which is what it is!)
Wonder how the odds compare with other forms of gambling.

I think these guys had a stand in Stanstead airport when I was there in July. It was them or they had an ad in EVO, one of the other... Not a scam I doubt, just a reasonable idea. Love to know if they always get enough ticket sales.
