Offshore Oscar’s picks for November 1 and 2
By: Offshore Oscar |
No Comments
My huge London 3-team parlay looked home and dry until Arsenal gave up 2 goals to Tottenham starting in the 89th minute, coming away with a 4-4 draw in one of the highest scoring games in recent memory. WTF? My Rome parlay got short circuited by the Roma game being called off, though Lazio did [...]
Diego Maradona Not Helping Argentina’s World Cup odds
By: Daryl | No Comments
You won’t be massively surprised to hear that Diego Maradona’s imminent appointment as Argentina coach has had a negative impact on the albiceleste’s World Cup odds.
Before Alfio Basile’s resignation, Argentina were 5-1 to win the World Cup (and they weren’t even playing particularly well).
But the news about El Diego has seen those odds move out [...]

By: Daryl | No Comments
It’s Arsenal vs Spurs people, and that means cards. Or at least it probably does. Would you bet on their being a nort London derby without so much as a booking? It’s 20-1, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
Below are the odds (via Paddy Power) on first player to receive a card (red or yellow) in [...]

Last weekend would have been a bit better if Portsmouth hadn’t blown their lead in the final minutes, but AC Milan came through so it wasn’t a disaster. I’m still ahead for the season, so I can’t complain much.
In honor of my recent trip to London and my fondness for pizza, I’m going to [...]
Odds on Next Permanent Portsmouth Manager
By: Daryl | No Comments
If you backed Harry Redknapp to be next Spurs manager last week, then you’re probably feeling pretty good right about now as he was 12/1.
Now Harry’s departure leaves a hole in the Portsmouth dugout, and someone has to fill it. Harry’s old assistant Tony Adams (who, for obvious reasons, won’t be following his old boss [...]

Top of the table clash in the Premier League this weekend when Chelsea vs Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. It’s looking like Fernando Torres will not feature, which is obviously a huge blow to Rafa Benitez’s men, but if Liverpool want to win the Premier League they’ll have to win games like this without El Nino.
Here [...]

Amsterdam seems the place to be as both my midweek Champion’s League plays came through decisively. There’s something about this place I like. They have what they call “smart shops” here, and I think they are working for me.
Original bankroll: 1,000 units
Current bankroll: 1,121 units

Aston Villa vs Ajax UEFA Cup Odds
By: Daryl | 1 Comment
It’s Villa vs Ajax tonight as the UEFA Cup gets underway. Two teams with a great European history and two ambitious managers in Martin O’Neill and Marco van Basten.
And if I know Villa fans then there will be a great atmosphere in the Holte End tonight.
Below are the Aston Villa vs Ajax Amsterdam odds for [...]

By: Daryl | No Comments
The latest odds (via Paddy Power) on the next Spurs manager are below, even though Spurs currently have a manager.
Worryingly for Juande Ramos, the odds on more than one man have been shortening with Croatia coach Slaven Bilic coming in from 20/1 to 10/1, Claudio Ranieri from 20s to 12/1 and even Martin Jol’s odds [...]
