The Betfair Football £10 Bet of the Day
Day 50: We're backing Le Havre to beat Nimes at [1.82]
It's a landmark moment for our Bet of the Day and to celebrate, we're putting our money on one of the matches that is available for Betfair customers to watch live courtesy of Betfair Live Video, the French Ligue 2 clash between Le Havre and Nimes.
Our decision to lump on Le Havre at generous looking odds of [1.82] isn't based on a debt of gratitude for their services to football and, at times, comedy by bringing Jean-Alain Boumsong to prominence though. Oh no, the statistics lean hugely in favour of a home win tonight.
The hosts, who were in Ligue 1 just two seasons ago, have taken 13 points from their five games to date at the Stade Jules Deschaseaux and also head into this encounter on a high after earning their first away league victory of 2010 against Istres last Tuesday.
Nimes have far less reason to be cheerful. They've carried their poor end-of-season form into the new campaign and have collected only one point on their travels - a tally it's hard to see them adding to this evening.
Our bet: We're backing Le Havre to beat Nimes at [1.82], meaning that - before factoring in commission - we stand to win £8.20. The same punt pays only £7 with William Hill. Sign up for a new account now and have losing bets up to a total of £30 refunded for a week.
