Fiend vs. Caronte Betting Preview

Fiend is a big favorite here, but don’t get fooled by the odds. Caronte played nine Best of 3 matches so far, and they won at least a map in each, which is quite important information before betting on this game. That said, I am going with Caronte to win a minimum of one map and cover a +1.5 handicap at excellent odds, rather than betting on Fiend to win on very low odds.

The Pick: Caronte +1.5 Map Handicap (+145 @GGBET)
