Hi everyone

As it's a bank holiday i have decided to bring in a bit of fun to anyone who is interested. As per my previous 'original' mystery envelopes i have posted 500 new envelopes. These cost £5 each and prizes range from £2 - £100. the most it will cost you is £3 but you could be up £95.

Check out my feedback on the previous envelopes to see how much fun this was. Quite a few people won more than they thought.

As you were and are using the site to line your pocket again it would have been nice to see that you were at least giving a contribution to Fruit-Emu......But how wrong I am!

Without having the odds of winning a prize displayed, i.e

498 prizes of £2 and 2 prizes of £100 therefore odds of winning £100 = 498/1

Total prizes = £1194 out of £2500 collected... 47.76% payout.

All you've said is 'some' will have £100.

For all we know, for the £2500 you could collect, you could pay out 2 £100 prizes and the rest all £2.

No offense but I drink in clubs and I occasionally buy the odd pull-tab card, because they state the exact amount of prizes per stack of cards and you know where you stand.

If you expect us to back your scheme,

1) Donate.
2) Display some form of odds.

Oooh, quick addition.

Just checked the listing :

There is prizes of £100, £50, £20, £10, £5 and £2.

Again, the issue here is not declaring how many of each there are.

Hate to come across as a total arse here but if you stated the odds and amount of each prize even I would consider purchasing one. As it stands I'm not convinced it is 'out in the open' enough for us to endorse it.
