    If you don't think that England is going to win, then:

    - Buy this TV (£699 inc VAT)
    - Goto betfair, place a £77 LAY on England winning (ie. you get £77 UNLESS england win)

    Now, whether England WIN or LOSE, you will have paid £622 inc vat for the TV (rough calculations). That's £529 + vat.

    Regards,

    David

    Toshiba are doing a similar offer....buy one of their Intel Centrino Duo laptops and if England win you get 66% back - take a look here.

    Would be a great treat if you are buying one anyway and you get £500 odd back just because Enland win WC....I think these companies have little faith in England winning tbh as there are loads more companies doing offers like this.:confused: COME ON ENGLAND!
    The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing:)

    Im all for a freebee, but i wouldnt waste money on buying one in the hope England will win.

    Rather they gave a fair chance in getting it free.
