Not often a no-lose situation presents itself, but I received an email from Paddy Power today advising that for a short period from 10am tomorrow they will be offering 10/1 (rather than 11/2) on England to win the World Cup. If you then have enough funds to lay England on Betfair at 7/1 you will have yourself a risk-free 3/1 bet.
Unfortunately I'm completely skint, but if I still had my redundancy wedge, I'd be investing it all on that - worst case scenario is the loss of 5% commission on the Betfair win (if England fail), and you could even eradicate that by 'weighting' the stakes accordingly.
So, if any of you increment your nest-eggs on the back of this, don't forget your old pal tm told you so...
