Sinners vs. Vexed Betting Preview

I will not suggest you back Sinners in this one due to very low odds and considering they already dropped a map to Vexed only a few days ago, there are no guarantees, they will get a win here. Backing Over 2.5 maps or Vexed to cover a +1.5 handicap has a much greater value, and I recommend you to try with one of those two options, if not both. I am going with Vexed to cover a +1.5 spread.

The Pick: Vexed +1.5 (+117 @GG.BET)
