You only win if you have the lowest unique bid.

So say i bid 30p and no one else out of all those thousands bids the same, thats a unique bid. Then it has to be the lowest.

For instance if someone entered 25p, and no one else had bid that amount, they would win it...etc

As soon as two people text the same number, whoever else thinks the same number, instantly is a loser.

I'd like to see the stats, like a list to see the pattern of what people bid....I would have though by the law of averages, and the amount of duplicate numbers, you would be looking at an amount below £5.00 because the bid increment is 1p, that's 500 chances for a fiver and so on.

But out of that 5000, who has text the same number as someone else? That would mean there's still a unique bid there.

Its complicated, but its not a scam really, because (as far as i know) Therei s always a winner of the top prize.

If you want to see a scam, watch that 'ITV Play: The Mint' Do one of the puzzles, you'll think you're shit hot, and when you're told you're wrong, when it clearly seems you're right, you get the hump.

I searched it on the internet, and it IS a scam (the itv thing) but the buggers found a loophole, its very complicated, so here's a link.
