The Joker's Bet Of The Day: Thursday 19 March

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

'Ich bin ein Berliner,' JFK once told an audience of Germans looking for a show of solidarity, not a jelly doughnut. Forty-six years on, the Joker has something to tell the betting nation: 'Ich bin ein Hamburger'.

JFK wanted to free the people of the world from the ideological tyranny of Communism, and the Joker's ambitions are no less grand: liberating Ivica Olic from a Galatasaray defence that will have a full-back and a defensive midfielder at its heart.

There will probably be a few goals at the Ali Sami Yen Stadium tonight, but that is not the kind of bet that will establish The Joker as a statesman on the global betting stage. An away win, on the other hand, might just prove he's made of the right stuff. Support the Joker in his campaign for world domination and back Hamburg to beat an injury-hit and out-of-form Galatsaray at [3.5].
