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 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 [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks April 25, 26 – Newcastle celebrates a future WAG
By: Offshore Oscar |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 |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 – April 10,11 Norf London parlay time
By: Offshore Oscar |I’m back from Mexico, and I can’t tell you how thrilling it was to meet so many people who follow my picks while on holiday! I totally agree with most of you that the jail cell was way too small for all of us, but looking back it’s hard to hold a grudge, even though [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks Mar-21, 22 – Roma/Juventus too close to call
By: Offshore Oscar |Another great weekend as we hit two of three propositions, and now our total is heading back toward its peak from a month ago. Those who said that my picks sounded like they were coming from someone in the Special Olympics of Gambling really hurt my feelings, so it’s nice to prove once again that [...]
Offshore Oscar’s picks Mar-14, 15 – Attention Groundskeeper Willie
By: Offshore Oscar |We had a great weekend so we were finally able to hit the “overcharge” button on that nasty losing streak and we are swimming in units again. Those stubborn Germans were all that kept us from sweeping, since the EPL parlay came through nicely, as did the draw in the Madrid Derby.
This weekend we’ll [...]
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 [...]
