Offshore Oscar’s picks Mar-3,4 – London, calling all parlay fans

By: Offshore Oscar | March 2nd, 2009

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 works it’ll seem like an obvious play in retrospect, but putting together 4 favorites can be a tough way to make a living (believe me).

Original bankroll: 1,000 units
Last time’s bankroll: 1,420.9 units

Last time:
1 – 40 units on West Ham to win at 2.40 – Final 1-0 – WIN
2 – 40 units Hamburg to win at 1.80 – Final 1-3 – LOSS
3 – 40 units AC Milan to win at 2.10 – Final 2-1 – LOSS
Profit/loss = (-24 units)
New bankroll: 1,396.9 units

This week’s Offshore Oscar plays:

1 – Let’s have a little fun with this week’s EPL matches. Chelsea and Arsenal are both away Tuesday, at Portsmouth and West Brom, respectively. They should both prevail at short odds. Fulham entertains Hull City on Wednesday while Spurs host Middlesbrough, they both should also win. As you can see, this is leading to a London teams win parlay.

40-unit win parley on Chelsea at 1.57 into Arsenal at 1.61 into Fulham at 1.70 into Tottenham at 1.70 (so if they all somehow win we get back 40 x 1.57 x 1.61 x 1.70 x 1.70 = 292.2 units)

2 – Martin O’Neill can’t be happy with Villa dropping two valuable points on Sunday to bottom table Stoke City. They travel to Manchester on Wednesday to face an out of form City squad. Look for Young, Agbonlahor and Carew to all find the back of the onion bag.

40 units on Aston Villa to win at 2.62 (so a win gets us back 104.8 units)
