BetOnline Sportsbook Review

BetOnline is where I go when I want to get serious about the number. Early lines, high limits and a massive betting board give me more chances to find an edge before the market catches up. Football is especially strong, but there’s no shortage of props, futures, live wagering and action across the major sports. I’ve learned over the years that half a point here and ten cents there can make a hell of a difference. BetOnline gives me another place to find them. — Razor Ray

XBet calls itself “The Last Sportsbook You Will Ever Join.” That’s a hell of a promise, but they give you plenty of reasons to stick around.

I’m putting my money down anyway — I like a book that gives me something back for doing it. — Razor Ray

Free Portland Trail Blazers vs. Indiana Pacers NBA Prediction:

The status of Portland’s Jusuf Nurkic, Jerami Grant and Gary Payton plays a role in this one considering how tight oddsmakers see this one being. But early reports are that the Blazers should expect some combination of the group to play on Friday.

If that’s the case, I like the Trail Blazers as the more talented team despite the inferior SU record on the road.

At +1, Portland is the play straight up and one of your “safer” underdog picks throughout the slate.
