This Saturday it is Spanish Day at the Amex, and Sky Bet have joined in the español fun with some specials involving Albion's three Spanish players who are expected to feature within the squad.David Lopez, Bruno Saltor and Inigo Calderon are the three players they have honed in on.Ferret
The five wagers that they have uniquely crafted for Albion fans are :-
Spanish Player to Score @ 11/8
Spanish player not to score* @ 8/15
Spanish player to score from a Free-kick or Penalty @ 4/1
Spanish Player to Assist a goal @ 11/10
Albion to win and a Spaniard to score the first goal @ 6/1
*
Of the above, while all have merit, the one that stands out for me is the 4/1 for a set-piece goal.* David is the Albion's set-piece guru and he has a 100% record from the penalty spot during his time with the Seagulls.
Looking at the conventional bets on the game, Sky Bet have installed Albion as their odds-on 10/11 favourites, with Bolton 3/1 and the draw 12/5.
Overall these look spot-on and I shall be avoiding the outright plays at this stage (while keeping an eye on the odds fluctuation as kick-off approaches in case value emerges).
Ashley Barnes is a huge 13/2 to score first! In the absence of Leo Ulloa and with Brighton odds-on to win this encounter, the main striker for the favourite side should be quite a bit shorter. Take these odds early as I am certain they will contract. With it being Spanish day, David will also have his followers at 10/1. For an outside prospect consider Keith Andrews at 18/1 and/or Jake Forster-Caskey at 20/1.
In the half-time/full-time category, Albion/Draw is 16/1 and should be taken. Regular readers will be aware that this is has been one of our most profitable wagers over recent seasons. The probability of it occurring means that 16/1 is always worth taking. While slightly negative from a fans perspective, head must be allowed to rule heart when it comes to punting propositions.
Don't forget to follow me on Twitter for pre-match updates. Another late tip was landed on Wednesday night when 45 minutes before kick-off I tweeted that the best bet of the match was the 0-0 Draw at 9/1. I hope those who follow my feed (@BHAFerret) managed to get on.
Good Luck and happy punting!
