As Radiohead famously sang, ‘Gravity always wins’ and it seems to apply to football betting as well, with our crazy lucky streak turning around in an instant. Our bankroll is still way in the black, but I barely remember what it feels like to win a bet. We are back to the fundamentals again, whatever [...]

By: Offshore Oscar | No Comments
When Stoke’s Ryan Shawcross was credited with the teams’ third goal against Portsmouth in the 90th minute, it felt like a sweet moment for our wager, which could have only been made better had it not been an own-goal that locked the match up at two-all. Such is betting on the so-called beautiful game, and [...]

By: Offshore Oscar | No Comments
Last week was a bloodbath for us, betting-wise, and watching all those scoreless draws was probably not a lot of fun even for the nutters who had nothing riding on the games. Things got so bad in Milan that 7 people were arrested after the Derby, and even though I don’t have the details, I [...]

By: Offshore Oscar | No Comments
That USA win during the week seemed so easy that it’s amazing we more than doubled our money on that bet, but that was offset by my big bet that satellites would collide in orbit last week instead of this week. Where the hell were you when I needed you, disused Russian satellite Cosmos 2251? [...]

By: Offshore Oscar | No Comments
Arsenal and Hamburg each managed to disappoint in their own special way over the weekend, but my Serie A parlay came in to prevent a total disaster. We’re still crazy-ahead for this long season, so it’s time to concentrate on the always unpredictable and wide-open CONCACAF.

By: Offshore Oscar | No Comments
This thing has gotten so easy that I keep waiting for Ashton Kutcher to burst through the doors and say that he’s secretly had all these teams all play according to my picks just to catch me congratulating myself too much. Whatever, Ashton, now go back to making unwatchable movies.
It was yet another weekend [...]
