Offshore Oscar’s picks for January 17 and 18, 2009
By: Offshore Oscar | January 16th, 2009
More of those ridiculous frozen-pitch match cancellations took their toll on our action again last weekend, but thanks to a Wigan victory we came out ahead in spite of it all. I’ve now officially gone from ‘global warming skeptic’ to ‘global warming fan,’ or at least I would if it existed. Madrid is the place to be this weekend, and things look good for a major score with our craziest parlay yet.
Original bankroll: 1,000 units
Current bankroll: 1,288.4 units
This weekend’s Offshore Oscar plays:
1 – Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last 5 with 4 wins. They want to stay in the top four and they should with a strong win Saturday at the Stadium of Light against a banged-up Sunderland.
40 units on Aston Villa to win at 2.20 (so a win gets us back 88 units)
2 – Genoa has to travel far this week, to the heel of Italy, to face Lecce. Nevertheless, they are a better team, still fighting for a place in Europe, while Lecce might be a bit overconfident after winning last week in Tuscany.
40 units on Genoa to win at 2.62 (so a victory returns 104.8 units)
3 – MADRID QUAD PLAY – Three out of four Madrid teams are home this weekend and should all be victorious, including second-division Rayo Vallecano. Athletico Madrid is slumping and should be extra prepared for their visit to Almeria.
20-unit win parlay – Getafe at 2.10 into Real Madrid at 1.28 into Rayo Vallecano at 1.95 into Athletico Madrid at 2.30 (So if all four win we’ll get back 20 x 2.10 x 1.28 x 1.95 x 2.30 = 241.1 units)
