Online Gambling Sites Going With Pistons over Suns

The 2-2 Phoenix Suns will be hosting the undefeated Detroit Pistons later today in a game that would surly draw a lot of sports betting fans to the online casino. The Suns are at .500 despite playing without their star player Amare Stodomire. Checking with two sports betting sites Bogog and i-Sportsbook, the Pistons are currently ranked as the faorites to win the game. Currently, both online casinos offer punters the opportunity to bet only on the point spread. Bodog gives the Pistons a -1.5, while i-Sportsbook has them at -1. For those of you who are not familiar with making a point spread bet, this means that Detroit needs to win the game by more than one point in order to cover the spread.

The difference between the line given by both sports betting sites is that Bodog’s negates the possibility of a tie (or push). If you place your bet with i-Sportsbook and the Pistons win by exactly one point, the game will be rendered as a tie and your bet will be refunded (if you bet on Detroit). Ironically, so far this season the Suns have lost both of their home games, a place where they hardly ever lost all throughout last season. In both of their home games the Suns scored more than 100 points. Odds makers determining the betting lines for both online casinos are factoring the fact that the Pistons are keeping their opponents from scoring more than 85 points on average.

This is a very much different Detroit team than the one we saw the past couple of seasons. Along with retaining the same defensive tenacity that has been the team’s trademark, throughout out the past couple of seasons, the Pistons under Flip Saunders are a much better offensive team. Case in point, the team has been averaging more than 102 point on offense. The Suns love to run and gun, especially when they are playing at home. If the Pistons are able to contain the Suns defensively, they’ll have no trouble covering the spread.
