The Joker's Bet Of The Day: Thursday May

The Joker's bet of the day / Editor / 07 May 2009 / Leave a Comment

It's the Edinburgh derby tonight and our daily football tipster has a view...

As a young man, the Joker went East in search of spiritual enlightenment. He might have mentioned it earlier in the week.

As a slightly older man, he went to Edinburgh. He had heard there would be lots of students there.

He didn't find much, but he did hear a rather good joke at the festival from a young man named Jason Byrne:

'A bloke arrives at a nightclub door and the bouncers say he can't come in without a tie. He goes to the boot of his car and gets a pair of jump leads, wraps them around his neck and goes back to the doormen. "Can I come in now," he asks. "Yeah, but don't start anything."'

Now, it's the Edinburgh derby tonight, and Hearts have been level at the break in seven of their last 10 league games at Tynecastle. Meanwhile, Hibs have been all-square after 45 minutes in eight of their last 12 on the road. There's a bit of value, then, about [2.18] for the half-time draw.

Recommendation: Back the Half-time Draw @ [2.18] in Hearts v Hibernian.
