Radial intercept rules of thumb?

I was wondering if there's a simple rule of thumb to use on the go to 'eye-ball' by how many degrees of CDI deviation to anticipate the turn to intercept the required radial or QDM/QDR based on ground speed, distance from the station, and intercept angle.

Simple stuff, not mathematicaly exact but good enough to fly by reference to instruments.
