VERTEX vs. AVANT Betting Preview
It would be a complete surprise if AVANT loses this game because the bookmakers see them as one of the biggest favorites to win the tournament. I also think they will get a win with no trouble, but betting on AVANT is out of the question due to very low odds. The markets on this match are not quite attractive, and that’s why I am going with AVANT to cover -1.5 handicap. The odds are not great, but there is a little chance they will drop a map against VERTEX.
