2023 WNBA Discussion and Betting

[danherbias07]

Very nice guys. I love seeing all those greens. 

Tomorrow, we have two games listed.

Washington Mystics versus Seatle Storm - Obviously I am betting for the Mystics here. The line is Washington Mystics (-6.5) so I am taking it with a 1.85 profit. It's a decent amount.
They can win without Elena Delle Donne and I think she is still out due to an ankle injury.

The other game.
Las Vegas Aces - Phoenix Mercury - Las Vegas Aces (-17.5) Well, considering how bad the Mercury had been playing, I am taking that high spread now.
Their last meet was June 22 and the Aces won by 20 points there on the road. I wish this ain't another bad pick for me from the Aces. My stats on win and lose bet for them is 1-2, if they win and cover tomorrow, I'll get the split.

Washington Mystics versus Seatle Storm - Obviously I am betting for the Mystics here. The line is Washington Mystics (-6.5) so I am taking it with a 1.85 profit. It's a decent amount.
They can win without Elena Delle Donne and I think she is still out due to an ankle injury.

Anyone who takes part in this match will definitely choose to bet on Washington Mystics because it is clear that the Seattle Storm is still under the playing power of the Mystics and of course the Seattle Storm will have difficulty if they want to have an equal game.
1.85 is a pretty decent odds but if take the betting option now I think it's still risky because the odds change can happen when the game starts later, my best option is to take the bet when the match is in progress in the early minutes so we can see briefly the progress course of the game to be able to take bets.
After Elena Delle Donne's injury it is still not certain that until now she will be able to play again when but I also believe they still have an advantage in the match later.

[danherbias07]

^Yes the Washington Mystics do have an advantage even without EDD (reports say she will be gone for 2 weeks.) and that's why they won again versus the Seatle Storm.
I already shared my winning bets on the other thread so I am not going to repaste it here.

Las Vegas Aces did cover the spread too so anyone who took that bet even if it goes further to -20 is still a winner in that game. Congratulations.

Tomorrow, 5 games are listed. Oh and the Aces are playing again.
I made a parlay for 5 games so I am just going to share that here.


I am kind of curious why they only gave -3.5 for the Connecticut Suns against the Chicago Sky. I may have missed some details so be careful guys as there is a possibility that some players will not play or be injured.
We all know how strong the Sun is so it may be a trap or whatever. But, I think I am going to add one more single bet for them. I'll step on that trap if needed because I believe the Sun can still win it.

[owengtam09]

I totally missed those 2 games today but I have made 3 bets for tomorrow's games well actually these will be 2 early games for tomorrow,

here are my bet and picks for the upcoming games tomorrow

Chicago Sky (2.33) VS Connecticut Sun (1.54)

The game will commence at Wintrust Arena the home of the Chicago Sky, right now Isabelle Harrison has a knee injury, Rebekah Gardner has a foot injury, and can not play for the Chicago Sky while Brionna Jones still can not play for the Connecticut Sun, for this game the Chicago Sky is not in their good form right now while I got to trust the Connecticut Sun for this game so my pick is the Connecticut Sun,



Indiana Fever (4.30) VS New York Liberty (1.18)

The game will commence at Gainbridge Fieldhouse the home of the Indiana Fever, right now Lexie Hull has a nose injury, NaLyssa Smith has a foot injury and both can not play for the Indiana Fever, while Stefanie Dolson has an ankle injury, and Han Xu has a personal problem and both can not play for the New York Liberty, right now the Fever has 2 players that are a key player for them that can not play for this game while the Liberty even though those two can not play is still an incredible team, so my pick is the New York Liberty,



Minnesota Lynx (1.96) VS Dallas Wings (1.76)

The game will commence at Target Center the home of the Minnesota Lynx, right now Natalie Achonwa has a personal problem, Jessica Shepard has an Illness, Tiffany Mitchell has a wrist injury and Aerial Powers has an ankle injury and all can not play for the Minnesota Lynx, while Diamond DeShields has a knee injury, and Lou Lopez Senechal has a knee injury, and can not play for the Dallas Wings, and Kalani Brown has a Concussion and is questionable if she can play for the Dallas Wings, for this game I really think those injuries was really OK for the Dallas Wings while the Lynx is not playing in their 100% form so my pick for this game is the Dallas Wings,

[jakelyson]

Here are my bets and picks for the game tomorrow

Chicago Sky VS Connecticut Sun

The Chicago Sky is having a game against the Connecticut Sun, at the Wintrust Arena, The Key injuries for the Chicago Sky are Isabelle Harrison's (knee), and Rebekah Gardner's (foot), and can not play for the Chicago Sky while Brionna Jones (Achilles) and can not play for the Connecticut Sun, while this game looks great because I really know the Chicago Sky is a great team, while the Connecticut Sun now has a great approached with their winnings, so for this game my pick is the Connecticut Sun,

Indiana Fever VS New York Liberty

The Indiana Fever is having a game against the New York Liberty, at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, The key injuries for the Indiana Fever are Lexie Hull (nose), and NaLyssa Smith (foot), and both can not play for the Indiana Fever, The Key injuries for the New York Liberty are Stefanie Dolson (ankle), and Han Xu (personal) both can not play for the New York Liberty, for this game, the New York Liberty is pretty much dominant in every game they play and so against the Indiana Fever this could be a pretty much clear game for them, so my pick is the New York Liberty,

Minnesota Lynx VS Dallas Wings

The Minnesota Lynx is having a game against the Dallas Wings, at the Target Center, the key injuries for the Minnesota Lynx are Natalie Achonwa (personal), Jessica Shepard (Illness), Tiffany Mitchell (wrist), and Aerial Powers (ankle), and all can not play for the Minnesota Lynx, while the key injuries for the Dallas Wings, while Diamond DeShields (knee), and Lou Lopez Senechal (knee), and can not play for the Dallas Wings, and Kalani Brown (Concussion) is questionable if she can play for the Dallas Wings, for this game the Dallas Wings surely done a great job in defeating the Las Vegas Aces so my pick is the Dallas Wings,

[YuginKadoya]

I surely missed those 3 early games but no worries there are still 2 more games today so here are my picks

Atlanta Dream VS Seattle Storm

The stake odds for this game are 1.32 for the Dream and 4.20 for the Storm, Right now Iliana Rupert and Aari McDonald can not play for the Atlanta Dream while Seattle Storm doesn't have any injuries Right now even though there are no injuries for the Storm the Atlanta Dream players so far are solid that could perform well, or their 2 injuries was nothing at all and they are performing just like they are with no injuries at all, so my pick is the Atlanta Dream,
 
Los Angeles Sparks VS Las Vegas Aces

The stake odds for this game are 5.58 for the Sparks and 1.07 for the Aces, right now Katie Lou Samuelson is out of the season, while her sister Karlie Samuelson is questionable  if she is able to play today, Lexie Brown, Nia Clouden, Layshia Clarendon, Chiney Ogwumike, and Dearica Hamby are all out and unable to play for the Sparks while Candace Parker is questionable if she can play, and Riquna Williams can not play for the Las Vegas Aces, right now that injuries were troubling the Sparks, while the Aces doesn't have any problem at all and will surely perform at their 100% so my pick for this game is the Las Vegas Aces,

[danherbias07]

Just as I thought that -3.5 for the Connecticut Sun was too small of a handicap for a team that had been dominating the league. That was my only win yesterday and my only single bet because I put the others in a parlay.
My parlay lost due to New York Liberty not covering the spread and then the Minnesota Lynx being blown out by the Dallas Wings which surprised me as the odds are almost tied.
Natasha Howard with another double-double for the Dallas Wings, 28 points, and 14 rebounds, that's a monstrous game for her. The last time I saw her make big numbers was against the Las Vegas Aces where she scored 32 points and 13 rebounds and they still lose the game.
Arike Ogunbowale also made a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Whatever the Lynx did is surely not enough to stop these two monsters.

Arike Ogunbowale also made a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Whatever the Lynx did is surely not enough to stop these two monsters.

The Connecticut Sun only consists only of 11 players max I don't know why there are only 9 players present when Brionna Jones was the only one injured, so from those 11 players Brionna Jones was the only one known that will not play but there are another 1 and that is Liz Dixon, we can not see Liz Dixon in the list of injuries but she doesn't play,
and there is no given explanation for what happened to her, well Although the New York Liberty won the game they didn't cover up the spread so yeah it was your loss, while I missed the other 3 games,


Here are my result with my picks

Atlanta Dream VS Seattle Storm SCORE 85 - 75 - WIN

Whoa! From start to finish the Atlanta Dreams is crashing the Seattle Storm even though Jordan Horston did a great job in keeping the team intact with a double-double of 10 rebounds and 23 points it was not enough with the Atlanta Dreams spread at the start of the game, Rhyne Howard got 15 points, Cheyenne Parker got 18 points and Allisha Gray got 19 points, in capturing the lead for the Atlanta Dream, it was a total win for sure,

Los Angeles Sparks VS Las Vegas Aces SCORE 78 - 97 - WIN

The Las Vegas Aces got a huge lead in the 1st quarter then it continues until the end of the game just like I thought that this game will be a one-sided one, for sure even though Azura Stevens and Nneka Ogwumike is getting the score closer it was not enough and the Las Vegas has already got a tremendous lead at the beginning of the game, Jackie Young got 14 points, Chelsea Gray got 16 points, Kelsey Plum got 21 points and A'ja Wilson got a double-double of 12 rebounds and 25 points, getting the game for them,

[owengtam09]

Here are the result of my pick Yesterday it was a perfect win

Chicago Sky (2.33) VS Connecticut Sun (1.54) - WIN

The Connecticut Sun sure is a dominant team even though they are short in numbers with their players, The 1st Quarter was for the Sun then the table turned in the 2nd
quarter and I thought that the Sky will win this but the determination of the Connecticut Sun is surely extreme, even though Kahleah Cooper and Elizabeth Williams had done everything they could but still, the Connecticut Sun is too much for them Alyssa Thomas has a double-double of 10 assist and 19 points, DeWanna Bonner got 21 points and Tiffany Hayes got 22 points


 
Indiana Fever (4.30) VS New York Liberty (1.18) - WIN

It seem that the Indiana Fever was winning the game but surely the New York Liberty have gotten a Lotto it was a close game and I thought that the Fever will win this game but again the New York Liberty have got this right, and the win was for me, notable players for Fever was Emma Cannon, Grace Berger, Kelsey Mitchell, and Aliyah Boston, was the one that is making the game so hard for the New York Liberty, but the Liberty was sharp with Sabrina Ionescu's 34 points, and Courtney Vandersloot's game-changing plays she has 12 assists, while Breanna Stewart have gotten a double-double for this game



Minnesota Lynx (1.96) VS Dallas Wings (1.76) - WIN

Just as I thought the Dallas Wings that have beaten the Las Vegas Aces once are pretty much sketchy right now and against Minnesota Lynx, but surely the Lynx has a terrible injury right now, and Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride was the only one that has gotten in the way of the Wings but the Dallas Wings have Bulldoze to the Minnesota Lynx core, with Teaira McCowan, Satou Sabally, Arike Ogunbowale, and Natasha Howard's lead score,

[jakelyson]

Wow! We got the same picks again and congrats to all,

Now here are my bets and picks

Chicago Sky VS Connecticut Sun - WIN

1st half was really for the Chicago Sky but entering the 2nd half the Connecticut Sun turned the table and flipped the lead from the Chicago Sky, it was really a close game indeed, the Chicago Sky's leading player was Elizabeth Williams with 8, 1, 16, and Kahleah Copper getting 3, 4, 22, while the winning team the Connecticut Sun players Alyssa Thomas has a double-double, she got a 7, 10, 19, in this game DeWanna Bonner got 6, 1, 21, and Tiffany Hayes got 7, 4, 22, for this game. 

Indiana Fever VS New York Liberty - WIN

This is a close game aswell I think the Indiana Fever did a great job but were really short in the points needed, the Indiana Fever's leading players were Kelsey Mitchell with 1, 4, 16, Emma Cannon got 8, 1, 19 while leading the Fever team was Aliyah Boston with 9, 2, 23, while the New York Liberty players were Jonquel Jones got 7, 2, 12, Breanna Stewart has a double-double of 10, 3, 18 while leading the game Sabrina Ionescu got 6, 5, 34,

Minnesota Lynx VS Dallas Wings - WIN

This game was very one-sided, it was a dominant game for the Dallas Wings from start to finish the Minnesota Lynx didn't have any answer at all, so much for the Dallas Wings that beat the Aces 1 time, but for the Minnesota Lynx players Kayla McBride got 0, 0, 10, while the leading player for the Minnesota Lynx was Napheesa Collier got 4, 1, 11, and that was it, while the Dallas Wings leading players are Arike Ogunbowale has a double-double of 5, 11, 18, Teaira McCowan got 6, 1, 19, Satou Sabally got 8, 5, 19, while leading the game was a double-double of Natasha Howard of 14, 4, 28, winning the game in a dominant fashion,

[danherbias07]

Congratulations to you guys above me. That's one heck of a win that you got there, I hope I did too with my parlay but 2 games failed to cover the spread.

Anyway, that's the last game half of the season. The next half will be after the WNBA All-Star event.
July 16. 8:30 AM for GMT +8 will be the All-Star day.
Better mark your calendars, put an alarm, or whatever notifications you could get because this will be a fun event. The lines are not open yet, maybe we could see it tomorrow.
So for now, I want to share the odds on who is going to be the WNBA Winner.


It's just for the record in case we want to talk about it before the Finals or after it.
Because last time I was looking for the same at this in the NBA section but cannot find one. In case we want to reminisce about the regrets of not betting for our favorite team while the odds are high. 

The line for the Connecticut Sun to be the champion does look sweet.

Aw! I think we are just lucky about the result it could still be a failed for us and when I play Parley I really tend to loss a lot, so I am more digging the individual wins or the quarterly winnings but for that particular games Obviously I have go with what I think could win and go with the flow, for sure you will be able to win it big and bounce back next game,

Well, Will be looking at the all star and locking my calendar for that matches that is going to be available and we are proceeding into the half of the season now so this is really getting exciting for sure I think it is obvious that we should talk about the teams that could likely go into the Play-offs 1st and then bet on who's going to make it on the finals the Connecticut Sun's odds are really enticing but for me Las Vegas Aces is dominating this season right now but still looking on the Connecticut Sun, New York Liberty, Dallas Wings, Washington Mystics, and Atlanta Dream Possibility to be champion because we will really never know if those teams would suddenly become more aggressive in the Play-offs then we could likely see a much great event that may happen,

[jakelyson]

Dang! I totally missed the WNBA All-Star Skills Challenge and 3-Point Contest but here is what happen

Skills Challenge - TEAM ACES WINS

Well, in the Skill Challenge Team Aces won it with the Team Aces consist of Chelsea Gray and Kelsey Plum, well their technique was to move faster that was Kelsey Plum have to say, and when the ball missed run even faster, and definitely misses the ball but then Chelsea Gray saves her with mostly Chealsea Gray have shooter most of it, here are the video performance and the Trophy awarding for the Skill Challenge in the WNBA All-Star,

TEAM ACES Performance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erp0QJRAS3E
TEAM ACES Presented Trophy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76BUq1rQCGg

3-Point Contest -  Sabrina Ionescu WINS

Sabrina Ionescu is a monster just missing 2 balls and had taken 37 points in the 3 points contest that was really amazing feat to pull she is really a monster in making those 3's and this is an all-time record for both the NBA and the WNBA in making most of the 3 point shot,

Sabrina Ionescu Performance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfPsyMkLAdQ

[YuginKadoya]

Well, Congratulations to Team Aces on winning the Skills Challenge and to Sabrina Ionescu for winning that solid performance on the 3-Point Contest

Kelsey Plum - The WNBA Collective Bargaining Agreement

Did you guys see this interview with Kelsey Plum this interview was 7 months ago and this is the 1st that I have watched it Kelsey Plum is bargaining with Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson on the earnings of the WNBA and comparing it to the NBA, Now addressing the elephant in the room, I really think that Charles Barkley is just being a gentleman in the video but I notice that Kelsey Plum have addresses Barkley for not having a championship in his career but Bargaining in not having the same Salary as the NBA Barkley didn't make some explaining and slap Plum with the harsh truth that the WNBA is not really gaining profit like the NBA so you can never be on the same boat as the NBA, and because the NBA is just helping the WNBA staying afloat by giving some of its revenue, well they surely can not demand anything at all, and I don't think that Kelsey Plum is not realizing what she is saying here, there is a profit but not as 80% much as the NBA that is a huge difference I might be so wrong about the 80% maybe it was 90% profit difference with the NBA

Well, don't get me wrong here I surely love the WNBA and still watch these females play the game but for Kelsey Plum for saying such things I really think she needs to see the big picture and the TNT guys really didn't say something about it on live maybe they will just say it if they are not LIVE but they have surely done a great job in not getting into Plum for saying such things is an absolutely great thing for the WNBA,

[danherbias07]

Aw! I think we are just lucky about the result it could still be a failed for us and when I play Parley I really tend to loss a lot, so I am more digging the individual wins or the quarterly winnings but for that particular games Obviously I have go with what I think could win and go with the flow, for sure you will be able to win it big and bounce back next game,

Keep up that kind of strategy, don't do parlay if you ain't sure because it's risky as hell. 
I just do that if I feel like it can win but sadly some parts of it did not cover the spread so yeah, I think I will stick with the singles too.
[/quote]

@jakelyson I missed it too. Was it too early? Yesterday, the status was TBD and I didn't know they are already starting the other games.
Oh yeah, it was super AM in my timeline. 5 AM according to this Twitter post.
https://twitter.com/WNBA/status/1679961866767077378?s=20

Sabrina Ionescu (@sabrina_i20) just set the all-time record for NBA or WNBA with a score of 37 PTS in the FINAL ROUND of the #Starry3PT Contest to be crowned the NEW 3-PT CHAMPION

Dang! This lady is hot. No one even tried to get a fire extinguisher to cool her down. Those hands are on fire.
It's easier to count the miss than to count the points made. 
This is one of the big reasons why New York Liberty is not just strong because of Breanna Stewart, this fine lady is also there to back her up and try to shoot like that every day. Man, that was so awesome, I got goosebumps.

[owengtam09]

Well, Congratulations to Team Aces on winning the Skills Challenge and to Sabrina Ionescu for winning that solid performance on the 3-Point Contest

Kelsey Plum - The WNBA Collective Bargaining Agreement

Actually, this is the 1st time I have seen it and watched it aswell Kelsey Plum may not realize that the WNBA doesn't really have a profit at all and she is not asking to be paid the same as Lebron James but the sales revenue for the WNBA, well they can surely take that if there is really a revenue to be cut for the whole WNBA because I really think there surely could be a fan that may buy you merchandise of the WNBA but not that much, I think that Kelsey Plum think that the WNBA has a traction of revenues which is the NBA is nearly giving away the payment for the WNBA to continued and because there is not really a revenue to be shared upon, that was it I really thought that Kelsey Plum still doesn't realize it yet and that Nothing has ever have said any negative about it because I think those in the video is really supporting the WNBA and for it to have some kind of really huge revenue on its own,

Keep up that kind of strategy, don't do parlay if you ain't sure because it's risky as hell. 
I just do that if I feel like it can win but sadly some parts of it did not cover the spread so yeah, I think I will stick with the singles too.

Wow! for sure will definitely do what you have said, actually most of my parleys are at a loss for sure and that never really works out for me so I am doing it in a simpler way, and yup the singles have that kind of feeling that you will surely have a higher chance of winning than doing it on Parley for sure,

And right now I am confused why I never see the All-Star games right now and yes it was only the Skill Challenge and the 3 - point challenge only, but still because we don't have any games right now and the game will continue on July 19, the All-Star games are the only game I am waiting for,

[xzone]

Sabrina Ionescu gave an incredible performance. She shot much better than even NBA players, I'm so glad to see such a record in the WNBA.
After missing the first shot, she focused on the ball very well and made 20 shots in a row. It really shows us that it's on fire

She did. That was one hell of a shooting skill from her. When I saw the video on posted on Twitter and read the comments, I am sad to see many people are still discriminating against the women's league. They have so many reasons like the ball is smaller and the rim is wider. I don't know about those people. Why they cannot just be happy that such great women athletes can do better in the sports industry? I just ignored them afterward, I don't want to battle against keyboard warriors. 
I don't think the women's league is going to gain any respect from those types of people who have no respect for the game itself.

Anyway, WNBA All-Star was fun.
Team Stewart won against Team Wilson. 143 - 127
Jewell Loyd earned the All-Star MVP award by scoring 31 points and she shot 10 three-pointers which is amazing. On Team Wilson's side, it was Kelsey Plum who became an offensive monster. 30 points.
Those who bet for Team Stewart are big winners now. If I remember it right, they were the underdogs before the game started. I think +4.5.

[YuginKadoya]

Well, she can not compare her profit and revenue to an NBA player maybe if the NBA is not losing 10 - 12 Million a year on their WNBA and providing a profit and revenue for themselves well, technically Kelsey Plum was the revenue the NBA players was getting to selling their NBA jerseys and things she surely likes that aswell but the question is do people want to wear her jersey or is there going to be a lot of people that want to wear her things I really think that there is not a lot of women that going to be wearing those and there are just a couple of women fans that are into the WNBA most of their fans was still men mostly if there are girls who are watching the league maybe there are that wants to be on the WNBA but it's not that many, for sure and the difference on the NBA and the WNBA that is why there is no such thing as revenue on sales because of the difference on leverage that they are putting on the table the company is giving what they deserves because the NBA players are marketable while the players of the WNBA is not,

Sabrina Ionescu gave an incredible performance. She shot much better than even NBA players, I'm so glad to see such a record in the WNBA.
After missing the first shot, she focused on the ball very well and made 20 shots in a row. It really shows us that it's on fire

Sabrina Ionescu is like the female version of Klay Thompson with that slick 3-point shooting and with that height like Thompson, well a girl version of Klay Thompson for sure, the winner of the 3-point shootout is really something  and that she surely never fail to amuse us with her shooting skill,

Good comparison but I would level her with Klay Thompson before the injury. Because as of this last season, Klay had been playing like the mental effects of the injury is affecting him. I won't judge him because it's normal for those who went thru a severe injury like him. 3 years without game time, we could not expect too much from him.

Brittney Griner being emotional.

The sellout crowd roared when Griner was introduced and, clearly moved by the ovation, she tapped her chest over her heart with her right hand. There was no doubt that a year after being forced to miss this event while detained in Russia, Griner was the star of the show.

Who will not be?
She went thru a lot and it took a long time for her to be free again an play her favorite sport. With everything she went through, I bet she is just thankful she is back in her country and hometown and now looking great again with a good contract with Phoenix Mercury. Just imagining the hell she had been through must've made her have sleepless nights.
Time to move on and showcase her skills again. Mercury is in bad shape but I bet they will do better next year.
