So this is a bit off topic, but back in the days when I was a pro arbitrage gambler, there was this thing I found where you could generate vast numbers of loyalty points at a German bookmaker by playing Top Trumps - essentially you would play for penny stakes and then every now and then there were bets that couldn't win and couldn't lose (Ronaldo was one, the original Brazilian one) and you'd lump hundreds on those to generate the points. And the loyalty points could be exchanged for cash (400 euros a month), merchandise (I got a PS2, several poker sets, t-shirts, footballs, and anything I fancied, there was stuff arriving every day and I've still got quite a bit of it in the loft), oh, and raffle tickets...

So the friend of mine who I'd told about it and who was also milking it generated enough loyalty points to buy every single raffle ticket for a VIP trip to see Real Madrid play. Which of course he duly won.

In comparison the BA raffles seem a little dull.
