Sony Ericcson Open Daily Tips: Stan can land Monday gamble

Sean Calvert picks the best of the bets from Miami “Stanislas Wawrinka has been concentrating on other things lately, with the arrival of his first child, but he’s back now and more than capable of defeating Youzhny on this surface.” It was a bit of an up and down day at the Crandon Park Tennis Centre yesterday, with two winners and two losers. David Ferrer cruised past Ivo Karlovic in straight sets as predicted and Nicolas Almagro took out Jeremy Chardy in three, but my outside tip Oliver Rochus lost , as did Tommy Robredo in one of the most bizarre games of tennis you’ll ever see. Monday features several competitive-looking match-ups and with some of tennis’s flakiest performers on show today, you might want to pick and choose carefully in the last of the men’s third round matches. For example, at 1.2 , I wouldn’t bet on Tomas Berdych to beat my sister , let alone a fellow professional tennis player, while the same could be said of Fernando Verdasco at 1.4 against Jurgen Melzer.

The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Friday March 26

A tip from the Joker to get your betting day under way… The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Back Over 2.5 Goals at 1.5 in FC Eindhoven v Den Bosch Throw out your history books! They need to be rewritten. Rewritten with four over-goals bets and a punt on Atletico Madrid. All of them successful (three of them against the odds), together they make up the Joker Slam, achieved yesterday with Atletico’s 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao. From here, you might think the only way is down. Far from it, the only way is further up towards the Grand Slam: another win today and the Joker completes a perfect Monday-Friday week of success.

The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Thursday March 25

A tip from the Joker to get your betting day under way… The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Back Atletico Madrid at 2.02 to beat Athletic Bilbao A 2-2 draw at the Luigi Ferraris last night and the Joker is racing towards a good profit for the week and another shot at Joker Slam (five wins in a row, you’ll doubtless recall). Like Silvio Berlusconi before him, success in Italy has gone to head. He even found himself amused by one of Silvio’s favourite jokes yesterday: ‘Is Einstein dead?’ Asks the son of a mafioso. ‘Yes,’ his dad replies. ‘Was he killed by the mafia?’ The son asks. ‘Yes,’ says the mafioso, ‘because he knew too much.’ Probably best that the Joker moves on to Spain now, where Atletico Madrid are at home to Athletic Bilbao in La Liga. Athletic haven’t won on the road in 2010 (W0-D3-L4), while Atletico have won five out of six at the Vicente Calderon this year

The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Wednesday March 24

A tip from the Joker to get your betting day under way… The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Back Over 2.5 Goals at 1.77 in Genoa v Palermo Exactly three goals from Gallipoli and Triestina in Serie B last night and the Joker’s 2/2 for the week so far. His reward is a date with Serie A, home of another Perfect Punter – a rare treat on the midweek graveyard shift

The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Tuesday March 23

A tip from the Joker to get your betting day under way… The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Back Over 2.5 Goals at 2.2 in Gallipoli v Triestina Good things come to those who wait? Absolutely, but sometimes you have to ask yourself, are the good things good enough to justify the wait? The Joker waited months for Emmen-Maastricht and then his bet only paid out at 1.57 . If time is money, perhaps he should have found something better to do with the first quarter of 2010. Hopefully, Gallipoli and Triestina will provide more instant returns today. Gallipoli’s defence is in disarray – you can come up with your own WW2 joke, if you’re that way inclined – and their last seven matches anywhere have gone Over 2.5 Goals

The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Monday March 22

A tip from the Joker to get your betting day under way… The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Back Over 2.5 Goals at 1.57 in Emmen v Maastricht Who called them Bastia? Not the Joker. The Corsicans came together with Le Havre for a four-goal game on Friday night that sent the Joker ambling into the new week with the refreshing (annoying) sound of jangling change in his pocket. Where’s he sloping off to? Well, for the 438th time this season it’s Emmen – Maastricht in the Eredivisie. Years ago, the Joker fancied a few goals and he’s not going to change his mind now. Not when it would mean extra work to find an alternative.

The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Friday March 19

A tip from the Joker to get your betting day under way… The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Back Over 2.5 Goals at 2.4 in Le Havre v Bastia Rapid Bucharest helped speed the Joker’s exit from their country – no chance of him becoming a Romaniac – failing to score at all at home to Astra Ploiesti. Totally unacceptable

The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Thursday March 18

A tip from the Joker to get your betting day under way… The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Back Over 2.5 Goals at 2.12 in Rapid Bucharest v Astra Ploiesti Dynamic Bucharest did their bit yesterday, scoring a couple of times, but Stale Bucharest didn’t do theirs, failing to score at all, leaving the Joker a goal short of a winning bet and a few quid short of being able to finish his business with the Romanian Liga. The quickest way out of there might be with Rapid Bucharest , who are at home to Astra Ploiesti this evening. Eight of Rapid’s 10 home Liga games this season have gone Over 2.5 Goals, just like five of Astra’s last eight on the road. Godspeed, people! Recommendation: Back Over 2.5 Goals at 2.12 in Rapid Bucharest v Astra Ploiesti

The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Wednesday March 17

A tip from the Joker to get your betting day under way… The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Back Over 2.5 Goals at 2.46 in Dinamo Bucharest v Steaua Bucharest Morelia didn’t disappoint last night, beating Deportivo Cuenca 2-1 with a couple of goals from Jared Borgetti, the Desert Fox who oddly failed to settle in Lancashire a few years ago. Thank goodness they didn’t disappoint – 1.51 isn’t much of a price to be apologising for

The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Monday March 15

A tip from the Joker to get your betting day under way… The Joker’s Bet of the Day: Back Metz at 1.88 to beat Nantes Fortune favours the brave. You might have heard that once or twice before, but has it ever been more applicable than it was on Friday, when the Joker did the unthinkable and plumped for over goals in a football match in France? Nimes and Chateauroux conjured an unprecedented five goals between them and a 2.42 payout for those who believed in the magic. For the Joker’s next trick, well, he’s going to oppose the mighty FC Nantes . Champions of France not so long ago, they’re in Ligue 2 now and not doing so well. In fact, they’ve lost seven in a row away from home.
