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 April 25, 26 – Newcastle celebrates a future WAG

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 [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks April 17,18 – Brummies gonna make us rich
By: Offshore Oscar | 1 Comment
Friggin Napoli never got into gear, and the North London squads looked flat early last weekend, but those two came through big and we had another winning weekend.
This weekend we are going hog wild with our most units bet ever. The season is almost winding down, so it’s time to separate the compulsive gamblers [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks Mar-7, 8 – Madrid Derby and soft drink action
By: Offshore Oscar | No Comments
The next time I attempt a 4-team London parlay of favorites, I’d appreciate if someone would slap me around a bit to bring me back to reality. As usually happens, the first three did the job, and then the last one, Fulham in this case, couldn’t even manage a draw.
The week even started out [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks Feb-28, Mar-1 – It’s payback time, dammit!

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 [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks Feb-14 and 15 – Italian and French WAGs special
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? [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks Feb-7,8 – Spurs overmatched and it’s burger time
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 [...]
Offshore Oscars picks Jan-31 and Feb-1 – EPL, Bundesliga, and La Liga locks
By: Offshore Oscar | No Comments
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 Oscar’s picks for November 21, 22, and 23
By: Offshore Oscar | No Comments
Okay, so posting a photo of a ridiculously hot girl didn’t bring me any luck, and I lost both bets and am now back exactly where I started. For this weekend’s plays I went back to fundamentals, namely a set of voodoo dolls that look like some of the players, that I will be poking [...]
