PointsBet Australia has partnered with NBC Sports Chicago and NBC Sports Philadelphia for broadcast focused on sports betting
The Chicago Bulls’ game against the Philadelphia 76ers will be covered by BetCast on Monday, March 7, a program that will provide insights focused on sports betting.
PointsBet will provide data to feed BetCast odds live, on screen, including odds lines and spread odds, over/under and on the go.
As part of BetCast, the NBC Sports Predictor app, which is backed by PointsBet, will host a special ‘Pick n’ Roll’ contest for the game, with a guaranteed jackpot of $50,000.
BetCast viewers will also be able to select PointsBet’s “Live Same Game Parlay” options, to place bets while following the odds, player performance and team stats in real-time.

The broadcast will feature alternative advertisers who will offer commentary centered on sports betting. Sara Perlman, host of NBC Sports Edge, will be joined by NBC Sports Philadelphia analyst Jim Lynam, NBC Sports Chicago analyst Kendall Gill and Jay Croucher, Head Oddsmaker at PointsBet.
‘Bet the Edge GameTime’, a unique edition of the podcast hosted by Matt Bernier and Drew Dinsick, will provide additional coverage of the game on NBC Sports Philadelphia Plus.
PointsBet invited viewers to engage with BetCast on social media by following and interacting with @NBCSChicago, @NBCSPhilly and @PointsBetUSA on Twitter.
Traditional live coverage of the Bulls-76ers game will be shown on NBC Sports Chicago and NBC Sports Philadelphia, respectively. This news comes after PointsBet broke new ground by incorporating their odds integration into a Super Bowl broadcast.
