ODL offers you an iPod Shuffle for $350, wanna order a couple?

So how much does an Apple iPod shuffle cost? Appears to be that the answer depends on whom you ask. On Ebay it costs around $35 but ODL offers it to anyone who makes a deposit larger than $1000 for ‘free’.
So why am I saying it costs $300? Let’s do simple math calculating what an average trader’s balance would look like in few weeks time:
- 50% of traders will end up losing all of their money
- Another 40% will breakeven – making a few percent more or less than their balance
- Another 10% will earn 50% on their deposit
Therefore the Expectancy is such: 50%*(-1000$)+40%*(0)+10%*(1500$) = -$350…
So if you really wanna own an iPod, why not buy it directly from Ebay?
