Rule number one of gambling: never bet money you can't afford to lose.
If you can't afford to lose $10 how in the hell can you afford a Supra?
This raffle talk reminds me of that time i bought a lottery ticket and then later tried to return it after realizing i didn’t win anything 😤

Okay so to clear some things up:
I truly did not think more than 10-20 people would have entered, given I am not really huge on social media and really only marketed this to the forum and on my IG.

I was 100% ready to take a loss on this wheel, obv we all saw that this got pretty big, in the end 60 or so entries which is awesome, at that point alone I would have already about broken even, but then people started entering 10, 8, 5 entries at a time and we got to 96 in total, since I know everyone was expecting less and it was my first raffle besides just drawing a wheel winner, I also picked a 2nd person to get $300 in credit, so pretty much an at cost deal and then for everyone who entered a $100 in wheel credit because why not, it gives everyone who played at best a pretty good return on investment, and may drum up some business, which given is what I'm running I feel like its fair to want. in the end yes I actually made more profit then I normally would have on a wheel, a little under $900 after PP fees, and wheels retail at $899, ($799 forum price).

For those who were expecting less people based on my initial statements I do apologize and please DM I'll make it right! Again I was only hoping to have a little fun with everyone and do something cool. I wanna try and keep doing this low cost entries because it gives everyone an opportunity to win something cool. Again @Sal Rod totally understand where you are coming from along with everyone else's thoughts. this is something new so I'll def make some mistakes on the way and I do encourage any suggestions on how we can make this better! Thank you again to everyone who joined!

I think you did great, me and you have talked many times on IG and I thought this would be a great way to support you. I was just as surprised at the enthusiasm as you were, usually these don’t gain much traction. BUT I think this did as it’s a relatively low dollar item with a low price point to enter.

@NitroYellowMKV no need for a long post like that. You made it very clear in your first post that you were doing this for the community. I knew I wasn't going to win but still shot you the $ just to support you cause I like what you are doing for all of us. Then you go all out and offer everyone who joined in a credit.... you are awesome dude. Keep it up! I hope you made money on this because I know that was the opposite of your goal.
