Burger King +EV oppourtunity

[tomdemaine]

Burger king are running the spider man 3 promotion where you get scratch off tickets and can win loads of prizes. Every ticket has a prize so your chances of winning are 50/50. The worst you can win is something off the $1 menu so each card has an EV of at least 50c probably around 75c when you add in the car and all the sony stuff.

When you go king size on a meal it costs you 99c more and you get two extra tickets so even if you throw the extra food away it's still +EV to go king size on every burger king meal you buy while the promotion lasts.

it may be +EV but its pretty thin, what like half a cent?

Yea but you forget eating burger king is -EV, so in the long run this is clearly not a smart gamboool.
