Ok its one thing to be jealous cause someone won and another thing to ask WTF admin when one guy wins 2 out of three F'n draws How many tickets did he have Slinky gets 10000 mob points in one f'n draw on one f'n day that is outrageous I could deal with not winning 5000 i expected it to be hard but for someone to win twice in a week is just not right to everyone else who stuick points in a draw to watch someone cash out 100 dollars to wherever he wants to play poker..... my mouth litterally fell and hung agape for like 2 mins when I looked at it>>>
Sorry if I sound bitter but what are the odds they have to be basically 0. somthing percent after getting drawn once unless the man bought 1000's of tickets then more the power too him for the good win

Thats why i posted as to how many tickets you would have to have in order to win twice, his odds must have been real high or he is real lucky it is insane that he hit it like i said in my post if he did it via getting lots of tickets.....congratulations to him... I was curious as to how many tickets one should buy in order to match his success and yes I still dont back down on my post at all as I dont feel it was harsh in anyway
Wtf to admin was so maybe you would post as well and explain some odds of the mobdraw...
How many tickets normally pay out? do you guys keep those kinds of stats or no? I meant no offence just wanted to speak with you and others about the situation so I can better understand for the future..... Sorry if I sounded critical was not my intent

many people buy tickets in thousands so they hav good chances to win more than once. if he bought 5000 tickets he wud have around 22% chance of winning twice
It's not the first time a person has won twice in the same draw. Not only that there have been people who have won 2 weeks in a row...has happened at the safe as well. IMHO it's no different that playin slots...either one hits or not...

I appreciate this answer really clarifies things I like a numerical value on something lol helps me to get a picture in my mind. I still am curious as to how many tickets he himself bought or is slinky not an active forum member? or is it secret lol

I think you have to buy about 3000 mob draw tickets in order to win , there was a guy who said he bought 3000 tickets , and he said he was hoping to win , and he did , i normally bought between 200-500 tickets , and haven't won anything , so I'm waiting to get about 2000 tickets , and then I'll enter the mob draw .

That's nothing we've seen the same individual win all three (3) draws for 15,000 tickets. I don't get upset to any degree, but it would be nice to win just once, but I'm not going to drop 1000 or 2000 points in an attempt to win 5000. That's just the way my luck is, I lose the points. Cheer up M8 and have a brewsky or two. Remember it's all free so why complain.

As you could tell I wsn't against your complaint, matter of fact I posted a thread after the 3 time winner recommending that only one win per register in a week. That's still the way I see it, but I don't make the rules, guess that's good ay. I just think there should be only 1 win allowed to prevent duplicate winners in the same week, but some of the Mobsters put in a lot of points.
Good Luck, welcome to BRM and hope to see you in the forum.

That's pure luck factor. Why you complain ? If you want complain, i think you posted it to wrong address life is unfair, that's real fact. Ignore it and do something we have it, so your heart will be peace. Good luck next time

If i buy 1 ticket and there are three draws could i not technically win 3 times?
Ya that is another good question does your ticket get taken out once you win or entered again in the draw??? really somethingto pomder can we get an answer from Admin on that one... or some lucky prick who says hey i bought one ticket and won 2 lol
