The Joker's Bet Of The Day: Tuesday June 2

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

These days, everyone has a favourite German. The Joker's used to be Michael Ballack. He admired the stereotypically efficient penalties and commiserated with the unstereotypically inefficient habit of never actually winning anything (check out how many times he finished second in 2002).

After Ballack's Champions League semi-final antics, the Joker was left scrabbling around for a replacement. Happily, he's now found Henning Wehn, the German Comedy Ambassador who knows exactly how to ingratiate himself with British audiences. 'Why did my grandfather cross the road?' He asks as an ice-breaker. 'To occupy France.'

Bravo! Herr Wehn's national football team are in the Middle East for a friendly with the UAE, who have been having a bad time of things lately. Germany have thrashed Austria and Switzerland in some of their most recent friendlies and look good value to defy a two-goal handicap this evening.

Recommendation: Back Germany -2.0 at [2.20] on the Asian handicap v UAE
