The Fan is probably paying less than the $500 you paid to insure that car.It'd be a fun job to do risk asssesment for those kind of insurance propositions though. Link to post Share on other sites

goose 0 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I've always been curious as to how much TSN paid in insurance for that Wendy's "Kick for a Million"... it's not like the guy was just pulled out of the stands and given the opportunity to kick, he trained for it pretty hard (as I think anyone would given the opportunity).Obviously the chances aren't high that he would have made it, but I think over 10% wouldn't be unreasonable, in which case you'd imagine they'd be paying quite a bit in insurance money.

digitalmonkey 929 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I'm going to give away $1,000,000 to someone that posts regularly in the hockey forum if the Mustangs win the AHL championship next season. Link to post Share on other sites

gruven 530 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 When I worked for the Oilers, we would occasionally do those shoot-the-puck-through-the-little-tiny-hole-contests. It cost us under $500 to insure it for a million. The interesting part is the clauses that go with that type of insurance. There are a LOT of ways to get out of paying it. BUT.... my point remains.... obviously SOMEONE who is putting their ass on the line for that stanley cup promo doesn't believe the leafs have any shot at all. It would be interesting to phone hole-in-one insurance and see what the coverage cost difference between the Leafs and a team with NHL players would be.. Link to post Share on other sites

Derswick 0 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I can't imagine how cheap the insurance on this contest would be. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 The insurance company will probably only charge about $100 and then bet it on the Leafs to win the Cup. If hell freezes over and the Leafs do win the Cup then the insurance company will be up money as I'm sure Vegas will pay more than a million on a $100 bet for the Leafs to win it all.

gruven 530 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I just opened the hockey forum page and saw this title again and thought that the Leafs were announcing the re-signing of Andrew Raycroft Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,367 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 All joking aside, I wonder how much the station would have to put up for this contest... 1000 bucks? 1-1000 seems like a really high price. but if it was 1-100, I can't imagine the station would be willing to put up 10,000 for this promotion. Maybe we should ask "Actuary". Link to post Share on other sites
