Evil Geniuses vs. 100 Thieves Betting Preview
Evil Geniuses are looking unstoppable at the moment, and I don’t think 100 Thieves can cause them problems in this one. After 11 wins in a row, it doesn’t seem probable that Evil Geniuses will drop a win against 100 Thieves, but still, I wouldn’t recommend betting on the handicap here. Backing EG to get a straight win at -200 odds is not a bad option at all, especially if you put a higher stake.
