The Joker's Bet of the Day: Monday August 31

A tip from the Joker to get your betting day under way...

There's a lot of irony in football these days - any commentator worth his salt now recognises at least 15 ironical incidents in a match - and none of it is lost on a subtle mind like the Joker's. That's why he can't help but snigger to himself at any mention of Braintree. If brains grow on trees in Essex, why do they always seem to be in such short supply there?

There's a derby match this evening to occupy the thinkers of the Thames Estuary as Braintree host Chelmsford in the Blue Square South. The home side have won 2/3 at Cressing Road so far this season; the visitors have lost 2/3 on the road to this point. Only half a brain required to work out what to do.

Recommendation: Back Braintree at [2.7] to beat Chelmsford
