The Joker's bet of the day / The Joker / 20 October 2010 / Leave a Comment

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

Two Ajaccio goals in two second-half minutes turned advantage into disadvantage for Chateauroux and bon courage into rage for the Joker. A rage that would hardly be soothed by Real Madrid-AC Milan on the telly and, in particular, the half-time studio work of new Sky Sports anchorman Ben Shephard.

The Joker caught up with Ben for the first time a couple of weeks ago, when he was handing out 'laudits' to Arsenal amid their win over Partizan Belgrade. If you haven't caught up with Ben yet, well, imagine Jamie Redknapp.

That's it. Just imagine Jamie Redknapp. Don't do anything else - Ben wouldn't. Boyish-looking fella with a London accent? Ben can do that. And then, when Real were two up after 45 minutes, he knew to suggest that Cristiano Ronaldo had 'literally dictated everything on the right wing'.

Had he really, Ben? Had he really 'literally dictated everything'? Had he had a nearby secretary meticulously writing down his intra-match thoughts? Or was it a business letter he just had to get off his chest?

No laudits for you, Ben, but perhaps some for Twente and Werder Bremen in one of this evening's Champions League fixtures. The Dutch champions' first home game in the competition finished 2-2, while 15/21 of Werder's away matches in the competition under Thomas Schaaf have also gone Over 2.5 Goals.

Recommendation: Back Over 2.5 Goals at [1.73] in Twente v Werder Bremen
