The Joker's Bet of the Day: Back Hull +0.5 on the Asian Handicap at [1.6] v Derby

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

They have a saying in Italy, 'Anything goes, so long as nothing changes.'

Well, more accurately, it's the Joker that has that saying about Italy. But, if they don't have that saying in Italy, someone should think about inventing it for them. It could be like their version of 'Mañana'. It would explain exactly why Silvio Berlusconi is in charge of a country that remains as fadedly (a word?) beautiful as it was 50 years ago.

And then something changed last night. Varese did not win at home. Moreover, they were 3-1 up with three minutes to go and did not win at home. That famous Italian boot had kicked the Joker off to a flying start for the week he didn't want.

He lands in a place - and a club - today that remains as fadedly faded as ever. Derby County have lost five of their last six at Pride Park - that name is not helping right now - and drawn the other. Tonight they must entertain the visitors... from Hull.

The Tigers are unbeaten in 11 Championship away games. Which means that Hull +0.5 on the Asian Handicap would have been a winner in all 17 of those matches.

Recommendation: Back Hull +0.5 on the Asian Handicap at [1.6] v Derby
