I have £1k here to buy a new laptop. Sony Vaio probably. I could either, a) just go on line and purchase, or b) use the money on here this afternoon in an attempt to double it or better, to get a "free" laptop.

The first 20 responses "yes" gamble, or "no" just buy the damn thing
will dictate my decision by majority verdict.

If I don't get 20 responses by the first race today, I will make my own decision.

If the decision is yes gamble, I will post my bets as I go.

I will not want advice as to what to bet, and will put in running lays to recoup stake each time if possible, but will stake the entire accumulated bank each time.

This will obviously provide great amusement if I go out on bet 1, but i'm big enough to take it. :)

So....what will it be?

Since the verdict on the Sony seems bad, I am prepared to review my decision on that with the forums advice, but that comes after the main decision of whether to gamble or not. So....

Everybody saying Sony are bad, but why? They are leaders in picture quality and sound, so what is bad about them?
