One of your 8 bets will be surely a winner and it will add 7 more years, totaling 15 years in your Xbench account. So 8 years purchased/15 years acquired*100 = 53,33% cost, that is a 46,66% discount on the regular price. This means that just by choosing a country by random you are statistically getting a 46.66% discount (not a 43.75% as mentioned in the tweet).Josep Condalhttp://www.xbench.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518334.post-26155244582227492222014-07-03T12:28:44.663-06:002014-07-03T12:28:44.663-06:00I heard on the Twitter grapevine that statisticall...I heard on the Twitter grapevine that statistically, the Xbench World Cup promotion is equivalent to a 43.75% discount, even if you don't have a clue about who will win. I'm not sure about the statistical soundness of the statement, but it's still a fun marketing idea. Emma Goldsmithhttp://www.signsandsymptomsoftranslation.comnoreply@blogger.com
