Four questions

Four questions

For any betting ad, ask:

  1. Claim — what feeling is it selling? (Easy money, belonging, edge.)
  2. Omission — what's true but missing? (House edge, play-through, losses.)
  3. Technique — how is it persuading you?
  4. Who benefits if you sign up?

Same four questions. Every ad.
