Check Your Fridge. Bruce Grobbelar Might Be in There.

Here’s a nice little gambling commercial from PaddyPower, with former Liverpool keeper Bruce Grobbelar jumping out of a guy’s fridge to refund a losing bet.
I like the nice little spaghetti legs touch, a reference to Grobbelar’s 1984 European Cup Final penalty save vs Roma:

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 | No Comments
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 [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks May 23, 24 – Splashing on some Köln

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 | No Comments
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

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 | No Comments
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 | No Comments
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 [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks April 25, 26 – Newcastle celebrates a future WAG
By: Offshore Oscar | 1 Comment
We proved once again last week that it’s better to be lucky than good, and had another smashing weekend at the windows. Chris Hamburg helpfully pointed out in the comments that Berlin’s striker Voronin had been suspended for 3 games for kicking a ball at another guy, which got past us before we locked in [...]
