Offshore Oscar’s picks May 30, 31 – Bombs away
By: Offshore Oscar |This is the last official weekend of the season for this series, but don’t be surprised if I pop up during the summer with some crazy plays or stories about that one time I got really drunk and wound up in a CIA holding cell for 3 months.
We’ve guaranteed a winning season, which aint [...]
Offshore Oscar’s pick May 27 – We are going to try something here
By: Offshore Oscar |The season is quickly winding down, and from the looks of our recent results, it can’t happen soon enough. Last weekend we were very close on everything but didn’t connect on anything.
Now with the one huge game on Wednesday in Rome, and a few more decent matches this coming weekend, we are almost done [...]
Barcelona vs Man Utd Champions League Final Betting Odds
By: Daryl |We know Barca vs Man Utd is going to be a tight game. And the odds from PaddyPower (below) pretty much confirm that…

Barcelona 5/6, Man Utd 5/6

Offshore Oscar’s picks May 23, 24 – Splashing on some Köln
By: Offshore Oscar |Last weekend was another somewhat disappointing one at the betting windows, but that was tempered by the fact that I found what looked like a quarter on the ground. It wasn’t, but how lucky is that anyway? Now I have a perfectly good washer for the next time I need one of that specific size.
The [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks May 16, 17 – Putting the fun back into the fundamentals
By: Offshore Oscar |Our two plays last weekend didn’t get us anywhere, but that’s why they call it gambling, except in Las Vegas where they call it “gaming” so it sounds like you had fun even when you inevitably lose. Whatever.
In the final weeks of the season we have a healthy profit guaranteed for anyone who’s been [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks May 9, 10 – Well, that didn’t work
By: Offshore Oscar |My midweek Champion’s League London home-teams parlay went over just about as well as a right-wing radio talk show guy trying to host the Oscars or enter the UK. Late money poured in on ManU and Barcelona, and instead of that being an ominous sign, it looked like value. Whatever. This whole game might be [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks for May 5, 6 – London Locks
By: Offshore Oscar |Even as I typed that this last weekend was “easy money” I thought it would be funny if my picks went 0 for 3, but to everyone’s surprise we swept the board and now have so much profit for the season that I’ve had to hire extra security, or at least I would have if [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks May 2, 3 – Easy money will be ours
By: Offshore Oscar |Last weekend was tough with two frustrating draws on games that could easily have been wins, but that happens all the time so you’d think I’d be used to it. Fiorentina came through big though, so we only had a small loss.
If the swine flu doesn’t end up killing all the fans and players [...]
