The Joker's Bet of the Day: Back Real Madrid -1.5 on the Asian Handicap at [1.9] v Atletico Madrid

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

Motherwell? No, Mother-not-well.

What's wrong? Well, Dundee United gave them 53 minutes to score the first goal of their SPL match last night and they couldn't do it. If it only takes a second to score a goal, that's 3,180 chances they spurned. Not good enough. Even for the SPL.

Back to Spain today for the Copa del Rey and this evening's Madrid derby. Real have won 14/14 at the Bernabeu since Jose Mourinho's summer appointment. Atletico have only beaten their city rivals twice in 20 years. You know the result, but so do the layers. Add value by backing Real -1.5 on the Asian Handicap - they've won 12 of those 14 games by a margin of two goals or more.

Recommendation: Back Real Madrid -1.5 on the Asian Handicap at [1.9] v Atletico Madrid
