The Joker's Bet of the Day: Monday February 8

The Joker's bet of the day / The Joker / 08 February 2010 / Leave a Comment

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

An unsurprisingly dull affair between Ajaccio and Angers - just a couple of goals between them - ended a surprisingly profitable first week of February for the Joker. He could use another one before he starts thinking about Valentine's plans. £800k might be the cost of Vanessa Perroncel's silence, but, if needs be, perhaps a Clinton Card is still the way to her heart. It's hard to believe Eidur Gudjohnsen's seduction technique is any better.

Where better, then, for the Joker to be than France, the spiritual home of romance (except when it comes to football, when it's the spiritual home of crashingly dull first dates). Arles are unbeaten in 10 home Ligue 2 games this season and have won six of them, but are available +0&+0.5 at [1.71] on the Asian Handicap against Caen, who have won only three of their last nine away from home.

Recommendation: Back Arles +0&+0.5 at [1.71] v Caen
