The Joker's Bet of the Day: Wednesday November 11

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

The Joker's batting 1000 this week, to borrow a metaphor from a sport he doesn't understand. If this carries on, the family will get the full Iceland Christmas - well, perhaps not the coke - and no mistake. If not, he'll have to get creative. Shannon Matthews' mum had a few ideas about what to do in a similar situation.

Today, the long-term safety of his children rides on the outcome of Athletic Bilbao versus Rayo Vallecano in the Copa Del Rey. The Spanish Cup means more to Athletic than most - they reached the final last season - and they have won 6/8 at San Mames since mid-August. They lost the first leg 2-0, so only a win will do. Their second-division visitors lost on the road to Las Palmas at the weekend.

Recommendation: Back Athletic Bilbao at [1.69] to beat Rayo Vallecano
