There is a subset of Evangelist trash leaflet, that doesn't really work as a metaphor. Want a quick example, its this sort of leaflet, that gives you an example. (in this case a football match) and ties it into the binary accept Jesus good don't accept Jesus bad.
It doesn't explain that most domestic football matches the score can go either three ways, a win a lose or a draw (score or otherwise). And for most of the season the outcome doesn't matter much. In a non league game such as UEFA or FA Cup it does matter so I'm guessing this is the analogy used, but even then I will give you an example where it doesn't matter.
Say in this all important win / lose match you are either red carded and sent off before you win or are substituted off without accepting Jesus and you subsequently win and yes this is the analogy used, accept him and win or don't and lose. Do you end up with an afterlife. Given it's out of your control, do you still win.
What if you go to penalties and lose because you're English and can't take penalties, do you still win. Like I say it all boils down that heaven is something special (it's not) or that you'll get eternal punishment just because of ignorance / that god sucks. And its why stuff like this doesn't work as evangelism.
