Tv offer

[thetank]

you kinda need to find england at evens or shorter to freeroll it. you can lock up a discount though if they're reasonably priced

I wouldn't call a 50% discount a freeroll. Toasty discount maybe

So it's not that good an offer then if your were to lay England then

Figures are made up for simplicity:

TV costs £120

You can lay England at 1.2

Lay England for £100 returns £120 meaning £20 off your TV if England lose.

If England win however You get your £120 back but have lost your £100 bet.

Either way you have paid £100 for your TV. If you can find it anywhere else for £99.99 then you've not had a good deal.

I'm working from the assumption that I'm going to buy the tv even without the offer. then I can lay the cost of the tv @ evens. if england win then I've paid for the tv as normal, if they lose then I get it free=freeroll

sadly I don't want a new tv and england aren't evens

I'm working from the assumption that I'm going to buy the tv even without the offer.

Under that assumption, explain to me why I'm not freerolling on a telly if I just buy the telly with the promotion and don't bother my arse with any bookies or laying or what odds England are.

I buy telly (that we've assumed I was buying anyway) and if England win I get free telly. ergo, I'm freerolling on telly.

The assumption is dumb but if we do apply it  then the assertion that England would need to be evens or better to be freerollin is incorrect.

you would be but I'd rather be freerolling on an england loss than an england win that makes me happy anyway

for you scotty peeps it's a great offer as it stands, proper win win

If we could lay England to win the world cup at evens then yes, we'd all be very happy.

If I could back Italy against New Zealand at evens I'd also be very happy.

You fantasy world is fun and we're all very rich. Who gives a flying one what telly's cost anymore.

You're only free rolling if the TV is the same price as it would be without the offer.

You can free roll anything if you don't mind stumping up some extra cash for it in the first place.
