The Joker's bet of the day / The Joker / 21 March 2011 /

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

It's been a long-held ambition of the Joker's to visit the Vallée du Cher.

Perhaps he's a little late - it's been said she's eroded badly in recent years - but he's excited nonetheless by what's in store for him this evening.

Tours have won three in a row at the Stade de la Vallée du Cher and 9/14 since the start of the season. Their visitors tonight are Nantes, a big club fallen on hard times.

Like vultures on the trail of the rotting dead - or the Joker on the trail of Cher, perhaps - bettors should sniff out these teams because there's often value in opposing them while the rest of the world makes out-of-date assumptions based on old reputations.

Nantes have lost four of their last five Ligue 2 away games. They haven't even scored in the three they've played in 2011. And yet Tours are [2.18] to beat them.

Recommendation: Back Tours @ [2.18] to beat Nantes
