The Joker's bet of the day / The Joker / 29 June 2009 / Leave a comment

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

In South Carolina tonight, Charleston Battery go toe-to-toe with Chivas USA. And there's more than just a Coffee Pot Cup* at stake. This is the US Open Cup.

The lads down at the speakeasy still say the dancing feet of Robert Rosario (23 games and 0 goals for Charleston in 1998) were some of the worst they ever saw. Having won five of their last six matches in all competitions, the current crop of klutzes might have impressed them slightly more. Chivas, meanwhile, have lost three in a row on the road. You know what to do from here.

* Charleston compete for this with DC United. Its long history goes all the way back to 1999, when DC United players were so dismayed by a 4-3 defeat to their rivals that they smashed a couple of coffee pots and pulled off some showerheads in the away team dressing-room.

Recommendation: Back Charleston Battery at [2.22] to beat Chivas USA
