The Joker's bet of the day / The Joker / 06 July 2009 / Leave a comment

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

After a decade or so of underachievement, FC Honka were the nearly-men of Finnish football until a takeover in 2005 turned them into regular UEFA Cup qualifiers. The Joker empathises. Last week he was the nearly-man of global football tipping. He nearly got all five of his recommendations right; in actual fact, only two of them came off.

What a Honking week. But what better way to start the new week than a bet on the Veikkausliiga, the 30th-best league in Europe. As the ice thaws in Finland, so the level of football begins to hot up. Fifth-placed Honka's last five league games have gone Over 2.5 Goals, just like third-placed TPS's most recent three matches.

Recommendation: Back Over 2.5 Goals at [1.79] in Honka v TPS
