Offshore Oscar’s picks April 1 – Goin’ to Mexico
By: Offshore Oscar |Another frustrating weekend has us bleeding units again, but we are still way ahead for the season and look to be a pretty good bet to finish in the black. Our Uruguayan friends came through, which is more than I can say for our sometimes-English-speaking crews in Ireland and Wales.
I’m actually headed to Mexico [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks Mar-28, 29 – Uruguay or the highway
By: Offshore Oscar |Last week was a nightmare from a betting standpoint, as we lost all three positions without even getting much of a thrill.

The week even started out [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks Mar-3,4 – London, calling all parlay fans
By: Offshore Oscar |The Hammers came through on Sunday, even though their German counterparts in Hamburg got crushed, but we’ll still take the much-needed units to stop the slide. The fine folks at Barclays have put together some tempting propositions in England this week, so we’ll put a beating on the books with a crazy parlay. If it [...]
