Last fall, we posted about a New England furniture company that, backed by prize indemnification insurance, offered customers the chance to get their furniture purchase for free if the Boston Red Sox won the World Series.

In a series of new television advertisements featuring some of last year’s biggest winners, the same furniture company is now again offering free furniture if the Red Sox can win it all, with one small twist. In order for fans to win free furniture this year, the Red Sox will not only have to win the World Series, but will need to sweep their opponent by winning the first four games of the World Series. Although the Red Sox swept the World Series in 2004 and 2007 (as noted in the commercials), only 18 of 96 World Series overall have resulted in a sweep.
