In case you haven't heard about it yet, we have an incredible offer for anyone opening an account with Betfair, whereby you can bet up to £30 within seven days of signing up and get a refund if your wagers are unsuccessful, meaning that there is absolutely no risk attached!

Some punters might feel that the best way to take advantage of such an opportunity is to stick six fivers on long shots and go for big prizes in the knowledge that there is no penalty for failure, but an equally shrewd approach is to stick the whole £30 on an odds-on favourite that you fancy to provide an immediate boost to your balance.

The clearest frontrunners in the Premier League on New Year's Day are Manchester City at [1.33] to keep up with rivals Manchester United at the top of the table by defeating overachieving Blackpool.

It won't be easy because Blackpool have won a quite staggering five away games since promotion already, however Manchester City overcame them at Bloomfield Road when at far from their best so should be capable of completing the double with both Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli in fine form.

If you'd prefer a loss-proof wager on a Championship encounter then Nottingham Forest are the shortest-priced team around at [1.63] to see off a Barnsley side that have lost both of their matches since Christmas.

Billy Davies' men have a superb home record, being beaten only once at the City Ground since September 2009, and their latest outing there was the 5-2 thrashing of rivals Derby on Wednesday, so they have to be fancied to triumph over a club yet to pick up a point away to top-half opposition.

So what are you waiting for? Click here to take up our special offer now!
