The Joker's Bet of the Day: Back Over 2.5 Goals @ [1.77] in Sheffield United v Scunthorpe

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

A Bradley Wright-Phillips hat-trick?

Really?

The Joker's been robbed, you might say.

As the world recovers its senses, there will hopefully be no after-shocks. Not in Yorkshire, at least, where 13 of Sheffield United's 16 home games have gone Over 2.5 Goals. The same's happened in three of Scunthorpe's last five on the road.

Opportunities like this don't come around every year.

The Joker's Bet of the Day: Back Both Teams to Score @ [2.4] in Braga v Setubal

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

It's been a week of vivid, poetic match-ups for this column, from the comic-book heroes of the Blue Flame and Red Lightning, through the merciless, swooping attacks of eagles - both young and black, Italian and Greek - on their prey. Today's game, however, is straight from Father Ted's All-Priests Over-75s 5-a-side tournament.

It's the Old Gentlemen of Setubal - or is it Vitoria? - against the Archbishops of Braga. Both teams have scored in each of Vitoria Setubal's last six Portuguese Liga matches, while Sporting Braga have scored and conceded in each of their most recent eight league games.

Both of them need a kick up the arse.

The Joker's Bet of the Day: Back Lazio Win to Nil @ [2.3] v Cesena

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

From the Black Eagles of Greece yesterday we migrate to the young Eagles of Italy.

Lazio are firm favourites to beat Cesena at home in Serie A this evening. It's not just that the visiting Seahorses are pitifully defenceless marine creatures - it's that they're attack-less too.

Cesena have already failed to score in 6/11 on the road this season, while, among Lazio's most recent seven visitors, only the top-three teams Juventus and Udinese have scored.

Fancy a flutter?

The Joker's Bet of the Day: Back Under 2.5 Goals @ [1.5] in Panaitolikos v Doxas Dramas

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

As though the financial crisis was not enough, Panaitolikos fans have another reason to feel short-changed this season. Nine of their ten home games in the Greek Super League have finished with Under 2.5 Goals.

The team are known as the Canaries, while the fans are the Warriors. The team should be careful, but they have a more pressing concern...

Tonight's visitors are the Black Eagles of Doxas Dramas. They have seen each of their last five away games stay Under 2.5 Goals too.

And so the Warriors face another battle to stay awake this evening.

The Joker's Bet of the Day: Back Istanbul BB @ [1.8] to beat Karabukspor

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

Brescia were Stabia-proof and Stabia were Brescia proof. A goalless draw wasn't what we were looking. Let's hope the Joker is stab-proof.

And let's hope this is bullet-proof. Istanbul BB have won seven of their last 11 home matches against teams from the Super Lig's bottom six. This evening's lowly visitors are Karabukspor, who have lost 8/9 away matches against teams in the league's top half.

The Joker's Bet of the Day: Back Over 2.5 Goals @ [1.90] in Atletico PR v Atletico MG

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

It's transfer deadline day and there could be a panic buy from Betfair.

And it could be a replacement for the Joker. The Riddler's been mentioned and someone (something?) called the Penguin too.

This has all come about because of a slight rick yesterday column. Nothing to do with the bet, you understand - it won, of course, and easily too - but the odds the Joker hoped for were a little optimistic.

So, today, this is a bet you can make right now at exactly the price quoted...

Since July, four of Atletico Paranaense's five home games in Brazil's Serie A have passed Over 2.5 Goals. Since the end of June, seven Atletico Mineiro away matches in a row have gone the same way.

After you.

Recommendation: Back Over 2.5 Goals @ [1.90] in Atletico PR v Atletico MG

The Joker's Bet of the Day: Back Over 2.5 Goals @ [1.76] in Akropolis IF v Sirius

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

Like Forrest Gump breaking out of his callipers, FC Inter overran their handicap yesterday, beating RoPS 3-0, repaying the faith of the Joker and of those even more deserving souls who showed faith not only in FC Inter, but also in the Joker's prediction about FC Inter.

One IF, no buts today. Two of Akropolis IF's last three home games in the Swedish 1st Division have gone Over 2.5 Goals. And - the stars of this evening's show- so have six of Sirius' most recent seven away matches.

Recommendation: Back Over 2.5 Goals @ [1.76] in Akropolis IF v Sirius

The Joker's Bet of the Day: Back Under 2.5 Goals @ [1.72] in Figueirense v Palmeiras

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

Details are sketchy, but it seems Grotta lost 2-1 at home to Vikingur last night. Reports that they were 1-0 at half-time suggest the defence went missing in action in the second half, but this is unconfirmed by the rest of the web. Although the newly reduced balance in the Joker's account indicates there were indeed three goals or more.

Today, the stats give a full picture of Figueirense's game with Palmeiras in Brazil's Serie A - and it's not one you want to be watching for 90 minutes. This year five of Figueirense's six home games have stayed Under 2.5 Goals. Four of Palmeiras' five away matches have been similarly low-scoring.

Recommendation: Back Under 2.5 Goals @ [1.72] in Figueirense v Palmeiras

The Joker's Bet of the Day: Back Over 2.5 Goals @ [2.08] in KooTeePee v PK-35

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

GBK grilled PK-37 last night and the result was a tasty win, sating the Joker's appetite for cash.

Now he's hungry again. Staying in the Finnish Ykkonen, it's almost deja vu all over again, except PK have dropped a couple of numbers - they're PK-35 today - but hopefully gained a couple of goals.

Eight of PK-35's last ten matches have finished Over 2.5 Goals. Today they visit KooTeePee, for whom five out of six have gone the same way.

The Joker's licking his lips...

Recommendation: Back Over 2.5 Goals @ [2.0] in KooTeePee v PK-35

The Joker's Bet of the Day: Back Wisla Krakow Clean Sheet @ [1.85] v Skonto Riga

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

Pillaged? Raped? Fram were having none of it. A workmanlike 1-0 win over Vikungur, the crucial goal scored by an S. Lennon. Not Sean, presumably - although the Joker did say it was a workmanlike victory - but perhaps an obscure relative of Neil instead...

At the Stadion im. Henryka Reymana, Wisla Krakow have kept clean sheets in two of their last three Champions League qualifiers, including a 1-0 win over Barcelona a couple of years ago.

Skonto Riga have failed to scored in five of their last seven away qualifiers.

The Joker's Bet of the Day: Back AC Oulu @ [1.95] to beat PS Kemi

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

There was a headline in the Metro earlier his week: 'Leandro Penna: I love Katie Price but I'm bored in England'. Swap 'Katie Price' and 'England' and you'll get closer to the Joker's outlook.

He's a bit bored with Jordan too, but at least he makes his boredom pay. Jordan-Saudi Arabia finished 1-1 yesterday and he's now 2/3 for the week.

Now, Finland. You could call it the Joker's second home, if only he had a first one.

PS Kemi have lost three Ykkonen matches in a row.

P.S. That's not very good.

AC Oulu have won 5/6 away from home this season.

The Joker likes to imagine the visiting fans adapting the old Zulu battlefield chant...

Oulu! Oulu! Oulu!

Fire at will.

Recommendation: Back AC Oulu @ [1.95] to beat PS Kemi

The Joker's Bet of the Day: Back Under 2.5 Goals @ [1.60] in Jordan v Saudi Arabia

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

Katie Price shot to fame as Jordan. How does Jordan, which previously shot to fame as Jordan, feel about this?

It probably doesn't know.

Because it has better things to do with its time, like play international friendlies with Saudi Arabia.

Oooh... are we going to see defences ripped apart like an augmented breast bursting through a spray-on bodice?

No. Three of Jordan's last four friendlies have stayed Under 2.5 Goals and so have all of Saudi Arabia's most recent seven such games.

Recommendation: Back Under 2.5 Goals @ [1.60] in Jordan v Saudi Arabia

The Joker's Bet of the Day: Back JJK -1.5 on the Asian Handicap @ [2.10] v RoPS

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

The Joker was on his way to Helsinki in a handcart on Friday, until six goals from HJK and FC Inter brought him a third winner in six Finnish games and - hurrah - one at an odds-against price.

Now to make it four out of seven. JJK are W5-D1-L0 at home this season. Three of their last four wins have come by margins of two goals or more. RoPS have lost 4/5 on the road. Their last three results are: 2-8, 1-5 and 0-2.

Like JLS before them, JJK won't be beat again.

Recommendation: Back JJK -1.5 on the Asian Handicap @ [2.10] v RoPS

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

No Swiss miss for the Joker last night. He was right on target. Zurich 2 Basel 2.

28 bets. 22 wins.

In the Spanish Segunda Division, Girona and Xerez have outside chances of making the playoffs. A draw's no good to either of them when they meet at the Estadio Montilivi this evening.

Five of Girona's last eight home games have gone Over 2.5 Goals and so have 6/9 of Xerez's away matches.
