"1:50 chance to win 3 handmade cricket bats to your spec... Watch this space!!"
Was posted yesterday...nothing else since?

My favourite was the "Two Hades for £240" post.

I agree the post was initially confusing but a I understand it the offer is if you by 2 bats at the same time - Hades or Custom Shape - each bat is £240 (includes bat cover and postage) - thats £480 total. Sadly not £240 for both bats or I would have snapped Andy's arm off at this price.
There was also a premade G1 Hades offered a few weeks ago but not sure if that one is still available?

Go here, I have entered twice.

I've put a tenner in. Its actually pretty good value, 1 in 50 chance to win a prize worth over 60 times the stake (depending on what bat you choose).
-
Yeah ive stuck a tenner in. Great idea. 1 in 50 chance to buy a great bat, and he sells a bat for £500! Winners all round

You win 3 bats as I read it, please correct me if I'm wrong.
-
Yep thats a good point! Didnt read it properly...maybe ill put another tenner in then...
-
I saw the other day a tweet which said 38 have gone. Any idea how many its up to now?
-
If you bought all 50 then you would have gotten 3 bats for below retail price
-
I'm in! :D
Fingers crossed..... :)
-
I've taken a pop on this. Would love to pick them up.

SAF need to go very careful... could this be viewed as an illegal lottery?

What is the difference between this and a raffle run at a club?

What is the difference between this and a raffle run at a club?
Its down to value if the prize and the number of people that are available to buy tickets. Can't remember the exact details - one of our club members works for the gambling commission and did explain it to me once.
-
Is this why such raffles are banned on here?
-
Raffles are not allowed in here due to the intricacies of meeting the rules and of polihcing how such raffles work by the host!
-
Had a quick glance at that...
Seems to me that this would fall under a 'small' lottery as only 50 possible entrants with a prize valued at around £1000.....
-
I am in ;)
-
Comp is now closed, and the money is being donated to a charity, what a great gesture.
-
Very good of Andy. Well done to him and good luck all the others who entered :)
-
MNDA-Motor Neurone Disease Association ,great gesture....even if I am repeating myself!! :D
-
Andy is a top bloke, as are many people on this forum, and it ace the amount he does for charity.
The big question is would you sell a Hades if you win, or would you just keep them all and have amazing bats for the next few summers?
-
Apparently the draw for these bats is happening at 9pm (UK) time tonight.
-
O yeah! Had forgotten about that. I havent seen more details about the hangout?
-

-

Holy heck! That's me! I never win anything! You Lil beauty Andy....... Palms sweating, heart thumping, calm down & carry on.
-
Congrats mate. Enjoy your awesome prizes!
-
Lucky
-
Excuse me for being thick but does the winner win 3 SAF bats custom made? Or where there 3 winners or was it just 1 winner and 1 bat. Sorry don't use Facebook :(
-
1 winner of 3 bats.
-
Congratulations jogentz - do you get to have these made to your spec? Any ideas what you'll choose?
-
Congrats Jog, very jealous.
-
Thanks. I have not had a chance to have a chat with Andy yet but I will keep you updated along with full reviews when they arrive. It will be next week before I get a chance to chat, I've got a couple of days of fly fishing in the mountains to sort first. I'm in no rush as our season has just finished in NZ.
-
1 winner of 3 bats.
Really! What an amazing prize to win. From what I ave seen SAF make georgeous bats so no doubt the winner will get a beauty.
-
Did we ever get to see what the winner got ?

I'm the lucky winner. At present it seems Andy has plenty on his plate so I have said for him to make contact when it suits him, not that that was easy to say as I'm still very excited. I will post full reviews for all three bats once they have been received.

I wouldn't wait too long, as I did the same over a set of softs that I won and never received them. Gave up in the end.

As many have asked I thought I would finally bring this sorry saga to an end. After 8 months, 90 odd emails (95% from me along the lines of "what is going on") and numerous lies and fabrications I have had a monetary resolution, not one I'm happy with but anything out of this &&&&&& I guess is much better than others who have had similar dealings but with no result.
For many months I was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt but as other fellow forum members began to contact me with stories and excuses that matched mine the alarm bells started to ring.
He was obviously highly regarded on this forum at one stage but I would suggest that anyone who contemplates engaging Andy in any future think strongly as mine and number of others on here have had nothing short of appalling deceitful treatment.
Enough said from me, time to move on.
-
Sorry to hear mate. I'm sure you're gutted after taking the top prize.
I'm guessing none of the money he took for this raffle went to the charity it was originally intended for? I guess we will never find out... It would be pretty low if that's the case...

Yes, that's a guess and an assumption. Really crap that you didn't get your bats, I totally understand, but let's not speculate on whether the money went to the charity or not.
