Bedlam Paintball Win Voucher - not what it seems?!

Hi
Firstly thanks to Lakshmi7 for posting the original competition which was a paintballing day for 10 people!
Needless to say I didn't win that but had a voucher through the post yesterday saying I had won the runners up prize of a £750 voucher - hoorah I thought at first....
On further inspection there were 500 runners up who all got sent this voucher and after having a look at the details more closely you have to pay a non returnable deposit of £12.50 each and pay for the rest of your paintballs for the day (one pack of 'free' paintballs is given).
Just wanted to warn anybody else that gets this - although it does mean that you will be able to go paintballing at a reduced price - it is certainly not a free day out! I am not trying to make the company look bad I just felt that the voucher and letter was slightly deceptive.

I got one of the 'runner-up' prizes too. I'm worried that if/when I get there too it could become a bit of a hard-sell to make more money from u but shall see I guess.0

From experience the free paint balls will last no time at all and you will certainly need to buy a considerable amount more which will bump the price up for you I'm afraid.1. Cash
2. Holiday 3. Shoes 4. Car (well dream big!!!!!)
5. TV 6. I PAD 7. Kindle 8. Wii/X box kinect
9. Smeg fridge/freezer 10. Jewellery
