We examine how to use a bookmaker’s special offer to get the most out of your bet.
1st Assist Cashback – Boylesports
If your 1st Goalscorer selection assists the 1st goal of the match Boylesports will refund your losing first goalscorer stake. (Max refund €100 per customer per match. Applies to bets placed prior to Kick Off. Single bets only. Premier league matches only, weekend commencing 25/08/12.)
Verdict: An interesting special offer that is a bit different from the norm. The key to making the most of this bet is selecting a team that is likely to score first and then focusing on their most creative players.
Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea all have home games they should dominate and are the obvious places to start. United have plenty of attacking talent with Rooney (27 goals, 8 assists) and Nani (8 goals, 12 assists) both enjoying successful campaigns last year.
With Luka Modric gone, the onus falls on Gareth Bale to provide the creative spark for Tottenham. The Welsh winger (10 goals, 14 assists) was a constant threat last season and is 13/2 (Boylesports) to open the scoring against West Brom.
The best value of all might be with Eden Hazard, 6/1 (Boylesports) to open the scoring against Newcastle; the Belgian playmaker scored 20 times in 38 league appearances for Lille last season. With 5 assists already to his name - that is the same amount as Frank Lampard had for the entire 2011/12 season - there is a good chance of getting our money back if he doesn’t score first.
Selection: Eden Hazard to score first at 6/1 with Boylesports
