Offshore Oscar’s pick May 27 – We are going to try something here

By: Offshore Oscar | May 26th, 2009

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 for a while, but of course we can’t let this one go by without trying something creative that could work out well, or not.

Original bankroll: 1,000 units
Last time’s bankroll: 1,532.7 units

Last time:
1 – 50 units on Blackburn to win at 1.85 – Final 0-0 – LOSS
2 – 50 units on West Ham-Middlesbrough draw at 3.50 – Final 2-1 LOSS
3 – 50 units on FC Koln to win at 1.91 – Final 1-1 LOSS

Profit/loss = (-150 units)
New bankroll: 1,382.7 units

This week’s Offshore Oscar play:

1 – The big one, Manchester United-Barcelona is finally here and 300 million people worldwide will be watching, after they read the Offside.com, of course.

The two best players in the world, Messi and Ronaldo go head to head in the Eternal City. The big question for both teams is how well the defenses hold up. If Rio Ferdinand is fit, he and Vidic are arguably the best center combination in the Europe. Abidal and Alves are both out for Barca and a lot of pressure will be on YaYa Toure and Gerard Pique. Hopefully there will be nonstop end-to-end action and someone will win 3-2 after 90 minutes. In order to insure that, since we’ve been ice cold lately, we’ll play a draw.

50 units Barcelona-Manchester United draw at 3.20 (so if the game is tied after the 90-minute whistle, we’ll get back 160 units)
