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

Brazil 1970. Jairzinho, Rivelino, Clodoaldo, Pele. Everyone has a favourite. The Joker's is Gerson, the midfield general with the canhotinha de ouro - the golden left foot.

As a World Cup winner he advertised cigarettes and gave his name to Gerson's Law, the Brazilian expression of unethical egoism. 'You also like to take advantage of everything, right?' He asked at the end of his fag commercial.

We all like to relate to our heroes, to know that their one of us, and the Joker's no different. Gerson's his favourite because Gerson's Law is his favourite philosophical doctrine.

Gerson's old team, Sao Paolo, are away to Cruzeiro in the Copa Libertadores tonight. Their hosts are W8-D0-L1 at home in the Copa this year and last, winning 4/4 so far in this campaign. Sao Paolo lost their opening Serie A game away to Fluminense, towards the end of their state championship they struggled on the road, losing three of their final six, and lost to Independiente Medellin in their last Copa Libertadores outing. You wouldn't be applying Gerson's Law if you didn't bet against his old team this evening.

Recommendation: Back Cruzeiro at [1.99] to beat Sao Paolo
