A question about promos with prizes

Hello people
May I ask you if promos with prizes like gold and cars are ok?
Every time I see them I think of my dream to have a sportscar
but I haven’t make it yet :smiley:
What do you think of these actions? Just interested in different thoughts. Have you ever participated in them ? Have you ever WON??

Are you referring to promotions by counterparty market-makers who are pretending to be forex brokers?

If so, this thread will help/interest you: [B]301 Moved Permanently (the [I]principle[/I] is pretty much the same, with a 500% bonus and a car prize competition, and the reason they do it is pretty much the same, and I suggest having a [I]long, slow, careful[/I] read through the whole thread, thinking about the fact that the [I][U]experienced[/U][/I] traders in thread are [B]all[/B] saying the same things, and about [B][U]why[/U][/B] they’re saying those things :wink: ).

Lol, I have, actually … I won my first car in a big tournament, but that was nothing to do with trading at all, and I wouldn’t be willing to trade with a “broker” who does that kind of promotion to attract customers, [B][U]not[/U][/B] because there’s necessarily anything wrong with the promotion [I][U]itself[/U][/I] but because [I]it tells me loud and clear what kind of “broker” they are and what kind of client they’re trying to attract [B]and why[/B][/I]. This is the point that you’ll come to appreciate by reading the thread I’ve linked to, above.

Well they are ok to offer anything lol. BUT for sure read the thread that lexys referred to :slight_smile:

Thank you for the thread! I have read it till the end… and will think about taking part in different bonus programs. maybe only if they will be free for me, oh!

Are you serious? In a tournament? OMG!!
or it is a joke

Lol, no: not a joke. (But also nothing to do with trading at all: I used to be a “semi-professional” backgammon player, and once won a car in a big backgammon tournament sponsored by a casino group. With good play and a [B][U]lot[/U][/B] of luck, as well! There’s less luck in the game than many people imagine, but there’s still enough luck involved for anyone to need a run of good luck, as well as skill, actually to win a tournament. I think probably most poker players would say more or less the same thing, too - but that’s not my game).

Honestly, that is so cool! :smiley: Such a great luck. Was the car nice? Did you like it?
I agree for the poker, basically is a combination of both luck and skill and bluffs too but not everyone can bluff well so this is part of the skill also. So if you run out of luck which happens pretty often you need to have something up in your sleeve to compensate :slight_smile:
