If FIFA had raised the crossbars a bit (like I’ve suggested to them so many times!) before that Wigan-Liverpool match on Wednesday, I’d probably be moving to that palm-shaped island in Dubai already, but hitting the even-longer-shot Udinese over Juve more than made up for it. If I hadn’t lost that Texas high school basketball [...]
Offshore Oscars picks Jan-28 – Midweek upset specials!
By: Offshore Oscar | No Comments
Another great weekend leaves us with so many units that we can barely find a place to keep them. I’m now detailing my results from last time on my picks posts, which I hope and assume will make it easier for when Hollywood starts researching me for a movie or tell-all book of some kind. [...]

Aston Villa and Genoa each came through exactly as hoped, which more than made up for the Madrid parlay debacle. We are now so solidly into positive territory that FIFA is probably looking into the situation. At this rate it shouldn’t be long before football handicappers have their own WAGs who are featured in tabloid [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks for January 17 and 18, 2009

More of those ridiculous frozen-pitch match cancellations took their toll on our action again last weekend, but thanks to a Wigan victory we came out ahead in spite of it all. I’ve now officially gone from ‘global warming skeptic’ to ‘global warming fan,’ or at least I would if it existed. Madrid is the [...]
Last Weekend’s Predictions: Close But No Cigar
By: Daryl | No Comments
Here’s how I did with last weekend’s predictions.
Man Utd vs Chelsea
Prediction: 2-1
Score: 3-0
Correct result, correct number of goals, but I thought it would be a lot tighter. So did Phil Scolari, probably.
Roma vs Milan
Prediction: 1-1 and Beckham coming off the bench.
Score: 2-2 and Beckham started.
Correct result, incorrect score. And Beckham playing 89 (or 90 if [...]

Thanks to a so-called “frozen pitch” in Sheffield (sissies!), my lock-of-the-century parlay last weekend got knocked down to a single match (which we won), and we got our ass kicked on everything else, so it wasn’t my finest moment. We are still playing with everyone else’s money, so we’ll stay on tilt and take a [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks for January 3, 2009
By: Offshore Oscar | No Comments
Sunday was another big day for us, and we were only one goal away from another monster day. Our bankroll is now so full that we’ll be able to make some crazy plays with the books, like betting that Page 3 girl Keeley Hazel will be elected as an MP, or playing parlays in FA [...]
