Offshore Oscar’s picks for May 5, 6 – London Locks
By: Offshore Oscar | May 4th, 2009
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 these weren’t just “units.”
With only a few more weeks in the regular season, we are running out of opportunities, so this looks like a great week to roll the dice on the London teams in the Champions League. They are both very square prices at home, and the late money coming in on ManU and Barcelona doesn’t scare us a bit, probably.
Original bankroll: 1,000 units
Last time’s bankroll: 1,535.7 units
Last time:
1 – 50 units on Arsenal at win at 2.15 – Final 0-3 – WIN
2 – 50 units on Barcelona to win at 2.70 – Final 2-6 – WIN
3 – 50-unit win parlay on Inter Milan at 1.44 into AC Milan at 1.57 – Final 2-0 into 0-2 WIN
Profit/loss = +205.5 units
New bankroll: 1,741.2 units
This week’s Offshore Oscar play:
1 – Champions League London parlay – Both London teams return home after their first leg matches abroad last week. Arsenal has to overcome a 0-1 deficit and they should be full of confidence, especially with the return of Robin van Persie. Look for the young Gunners, with Cesc Fabregas distributing the ball, to run the ManU defense ragged and prevail.
Barcelona has to adjust back to the Blues back four, having made mincemeat of the Real defense. After being cautious at the CampNou, Gus Hiddink should give Frank Lampard orders to open the offense up and attack the Barca defense. Look for the overrated Puyol to make a few mistakes that Didier Drogba can take advantage of.
50-unit win parlay on Arsenal at 2.62 and Chelsea at 2.70 (so if both London sides win we get back 353.7 units)
