2023 WNBA Discussion and Betting

[owengtam09]

We will be having 2 games today and it is starting early for sure here are my picks and prediction

Connecticut Sun (1.20) VS Minnesota Lynx (4.10)

This game will commence at Mohegan Sun Arena, home of the Connecticut Sun, for this game, Brionna Jones has an Achilles injury and is out for this season, and Bernadett Hatar has a knee injury and might play for the Connecticut Sun while Natalie Achonwa has a personal problem and Jessica Shepard has an ankle injury and can not play for the Minnesota Lynx for this game just like in their last game I will be putting a huge bet for the Connecticut Sun because of the odds,



Las Vegas Aces (1.03) VS Chicago Sky (9.40)

This game will commence at Michelob ULTRA Arena, home of the Las Vegas Aces, for this game Riquna Williams, is suspended and Candace Parker has an ankle injury and both can not play for the Las Vegas Aces, while Rebekah Gardner has a foot injury and Isabelle Harrison has a knee injury and both players are out for this season, and Marina Mabrey has an Illness and is questionable if she can play for the Chicago Sky, for this game I will not put any bet this is just my pick for this game and for me, Las Vegas Aces will win this game,

[danherbias07]

@owengtam09 Sorry, but your bet was lost today and so was mine. Minnesota Lynx fought back to tie the series. Like I said in my previous post, Game 2 can be unpredictable because some teams will force a win to avoid being kicked out of the playoffs.
The Lynx even stretched the lead to 16 points and that really surprised me, they can play pretty well as long as they are focused, and today they showed that against the Connecticut Sun. They cannot underestimate them or it will bite back.  

Las Vegas Aces on the other hand finished their series on a blowout game. I don't think Chicago Sky can do something about that. The Aces are just too much for them with the star-studded line-up.
Now, the Aces will be advancing on the semi finals and can take a bit of a rest while waiting for their next opponent.

It was really a surprise that the Minnesota Lynx won this one the Connecticut Sun surely underestimated the Minnesota Lynx in this game for the Lynx to advance in this game and Napheesa Collier got a great defense and rebounded so much for the Lynx and gave the Lynx with proper firepower even Kayla McBride have gotten a lead for this game

Now Las Vegas Aces for sure will win this but I haven't made my bet because of the odds, but surely we will be having our game on September 20, and they will be having a 1 day break,


Connecticut Sun (1.20) VS Minnesota Lynx (4.10) - LOST

for sure it was a close game until the Connecticut Sun gave this match to the Minnesota Lynx it seems they underestimated them in this game because their 1st game was dominant so maybe they thought that this game would be easy again for them but it was a sure win for the Minnesota Lynx, Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner did their all in winning this game but to no avail, they surely lost, Napheesa Collier has a double-double of 13 rebounds and 26 points, and Kayla McBride got 28 points winning this game, and losing my bet,



Las Vegas Aces (1.03) VS Chicago Sky (9.40) - WIN (but didn't bet)

Now this one is really not that surprising the Las Vegas Aces surely is the most dominant team and against the Chicago Sky the game will be a one-sided one just like this game it was very one-sided for sure from start to finish the Las Vegas Aces didn't give a chance or a quarter for the Chicago Sky to make a lead or win, Alysha Clark got 14 points, Jackie Young got 15 points, and A'ja Wilson has a double-double of 16 rebounds and 38 points, I haven't made my bet on this one because of the odds,

[bisdak40]

Sorry bisdak40 it seems that we lost the Dallas Wings VS Atlanta Dream game I really thought we could get a great income with this game and the Atlanta Dream surely have a good start but have lost momentum on the last rounds, as the Dallas Wings have taken the momentum but it was a close game for sure,

No worries mate, this is gambling and anything can happen but the good thing here is that I already know that Dallas Wings has a disadvantage here as they lose their two players to injuries, and that is a big factor coming into game2 as I think the Atlanta Dream would bounce back from that painful lose.

Game two will be on Wednesday but I'm locked in for Atlanta Dream to snatch the W.

Atlanta Dream ML@3.10 vs Dallas Wings

Atlanta Dream ML@3.10 vs Dallas Wings

I am tailing that when the odds come out at Stake.com.
For now, no fixtures are available at the said site just yet. Maybe they will be posting it tomorrow. I am not giving up on the Atlanta Dream just yet because I still believe they can upset the Dallas Wings. One game at a time, the focus should be to tie the series first.

On the other game, I really want to trust the Washington Mystics but the New York Liberty is just too strong. They only need to stop Elena Delle Donne and the Mystics will be crippled on both ends of the floor, especially offense. EDD needs someone on her team to step up their game because Liberty will be trying to end this series as early as they can so they can also get their own rest just like the Las Vegas Aces.
Mystics is also strong but I will not risk my money on this game anymore like what I did on Game 1.

Already pushed the bet button for the Atlanta Dreams bro  , I've got this feeling that they would bounce back from that come from behind lose to the Dallas Wings, and learn to protect their lead until the final buzzer sounds.

Hoping also that they would limit the offensive output of both Satou Sabally and Arike Ogunbowali, these girls were killing them in the first game with 32 and 24 points respectively.

[danherbias07]

^ I am thinking about going high risk with this.

I mean this could be their last game so I want to maximize the profits if ever they will win. 170.5 seems like a high amount for me considering how hard the defense had become for both teams. 176 was their total score in Game 1 but if the Dream will play at a high caliber of defense, it will be a different story.

With the first game, I am going for a safety bet. I think.
New York Liberty & Over 163.5
How I really wish that Washington Mystics did not face the Liberty in round 1. EDD will definitely be devastated when they lose this series. Somehow, she may blame herself for being injured midway the season.

Good luck with your bets guys.

[owengtam09]

Great Job and great picks guys now we have 2 games ready today and I was late preparing here are my picks for the WNBA and I am going with the favorites

New York Liberty (1.15) VS Washington Mystics (4.80)

The game will commence at Barclays Center, home of the New York Liberty, for this game Courtney Vandersloot has a leg injury Probably going to play for the New York Liberty while Kristi Toliver has a knee injury and is out for this season, and Shakira Austin has a hip injury and is questionable if she is going to play for the Washington Mystics, for this game with or without Courtney Vandersloot the game will be for the New York Liberty, but I guess Vandersloot is a game maker but anyway my pick for this game is the New York Liberty,



Dallas Wings (1.33) VS Atlanta Dream (3.05)

The game will commence at College Park Center home of the Dallas Wings, for this game Diamond DeShields has a knee injury and Lou Lopez Senechal also has a knee injury and both players are out of the season, while Nia Coffey has a hand injury and is out for this season, and this game I think that the Dallas Wings is always ready even though they got 2 players that can not play and is out for this season, last game they have beaten the Atlanta Dreams so perhaps they can repeat their winnings for this game and get another win, so my pick is the Dallas Wings,

[YuginKadoya]

Game two will be on Wednesday but I'm locked in for Atlanta Dream to snatch the W.

Atlanta Dream ML@3.10 vs Dallas Wings

Thanks, bro, you are truly a responsible gambler for being okay with certain losses, now you are right about Dallas Wings having 2 injuries that are not playing in this game, but last time they didn't play aswell, and the Dallas Wings won the game but I am not saying that the Atlanta Dream didn't have any chance of winning at all, because on their 1st game, they are winning the game they surely need to press on that game and make it happen so good luck with your picks


Now my bet and prediction for today's game,

New York Liberty VS Washington Mystics

The stake odds are 1.15 for the Liberty and 4.80 for the Mystics, Now for this game Courtney Vandersloot has a leg injury And probably going to play today for the New York Liberty, while Shakira Austin is questionable if she is going to play for the Washington Mystics and Kristi Toliver is out for this season, for this game the New York Liberty will win this game the 1st game was a total domination for the Liberty, so for this game for this is going to be a repeat for their precious game, so my pick is the New York Liberty

Dallas Wings VS Atlanta Dream

The stake odds are 1.33 for the Wings and 3.05 for the Dream, now with today's game Lou Lopez Senechal and Diamond DeShields both are out for this season so the Wings doesn't have any injury while Nia Coffey is out for the season aswell but is may seems a good chance for the Atlanta Dream to make win this time, so I will be sticking again for the Atlanta Dream

[danherbias07]

The first game was sizzling hot.

The 11-point lead was the biggest lead of the New York Liberty at midway through the game but Natasha Cloud did not give up, she played harder and tried to be contagious to her team and it worked. All the Washington Mystics players played at their highest level on both ends of the floor with Natasha Cloud leading them and registering a career-high of 33 points. They almost won the game but Jonquel Jones got the offensive rebound and was fouled to tie the game and put it into overtime.
In overtime, it's mostly Liberty and they won it by free throws. Breanna Stewart is aggressive at taking all the pounding to get fouls which should've been their strategy for most part of the game. Washington has a weak paint defense and EDD was also hurt.

New York Liberty won and will advance to the semi-finals again since 2015.

Stars in attendance: Julius Randle, Sue Bird, and her partner Megan Rapinoe (American Soccer player) and more.

2nd game! Let's go Dream!

2nd game! Let's go Dream!

Congrats on your first game win bro but the Atlanta Dream lost once again to the Wings. That second quarter rally was the turning point of the game and the Dream didn't recover after that onslaught, 19-point lead in a single quarter in a playoff game is insane but it is what it is. Congrats to the Wings.

Is this series a best of five affair or best of three only?

2nd game! Let's go Dream!

I never knew that the Washington Mystics could be like this and Natasha Cloud had kept it going like this it was really exhilarating to watch this game you will never know who's going to win it was really exciting to watch and sure in that Overtime Natasha Cloud was already exhausted in giving her all in this game,


Result of my bet for games Today

New York Liberty VS Washington Mystics SCORE 90 - 85 - WIN

It becomes a close game for sure for the New York Liberty was pretty much Dominant in their 1st game but in this game, it is much closer for sure and the Washington Mystics have turned the game into a much closer game and thanks to Natasha Cloud the Washington Mystics likely has some closer game against the New York Liberty that is surely a dominant team in this league, surely Courtney Vandersloot played in this game and like I have said a playmaker indeed, with 10 assist Sabrina Ionescu got 11 points Betnijah Laney got 19 points, Jonquel Jones has a double-double of 14 rebounds and 19 points, and Breanna Stewart has 27 points for this game,

Dallas Wings VS Atlanta Dream SCORE 101 - 74 - LOST

Another win for the Dallas Wings I should have realized that they will certainly win again while this is surely a close match at the start of the round Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray did a great job in this game but again the Dallas Wings were the one that Kalani Brown got 12 points Teaira McCowan has a double-double of 16 rebounds and 12 points, and Satou Sabally and Awak Kuier both got 13 points and Arike Ogunbowale got 20 points for this game for sure the Dallas Wings got a great spread,

[owengtam09]

Congrats on all the winnings guys and maybe the losses we can surely get it back in another game so this is the result of my picks for the WNBA games today

New York Liberty (1.15) VS Washington Mystics (4.80) - WIN

For sure this game has gone so close with these two teams and I was surprised that the Washington Mystics would close the game against the New York Liberty in their 1st game, it was total domination for the New York Liberty but this time Natasha Cloud had stood up for the Washington  Mystics and gained momentum for this game but on the Overtime Cloud was already exhausted and for sure the New York Liberty have capitalized on that to secure another win,



Dallas Wings (1.33) VS Atlanta Dream (3.05) - WIN

It was really close at the beginning for sure but the Dallas Wings have eventually getting and getting into this game and likely getting used to the Atlanta Dream for sure and making a win against them for the 2nd time around for sure Rhyne Howard and Alisha Gray have done all that they can in getting this game close but failed in doing so and so I get a lost record because of this game as well thanks to Arike Ogunbowale, lead points and the spread for the team  for sure,

[danherbias07]

What a great game until the Connecticut Sun starts to put some gap.


I never doubted the Connecticut Sun but there was a time the lead was cut to 1 point. 26-25 if I remember it right. The Minnesota Lynx do have a good strategy for attacking the painted area where the Sun is the weakest and it worked thanks to Napheesa Collier's effort at bulldozing everyone underneath the rim.
But, DeWanna Bonner got hot, and of course, Alyssa Thomas who always has a great game. I believe she should be the MVP for this year as her stats are on the roof and been breaking records one after another.
Connecticut Sun won by 15 points but all respect to the Lynx because they are the only underdog team who won 1 game in this Round 1 of the playoffs.
Also, it was very lively at their homecourt which I think is a good sign for the WNBA.

So we are set for the Semi-Finals

Liberty versus Sun
Aces versus Wings

Which team do you think will win the Semis? The rule will be different, it's now best of 5. 3 wins are needed to advance to the Finals. It will definitely be a long battle. I doubt a sweep might happen, even Dallas Wings is playing at a high level.

For sure the Connecticut Sun was way above the Minnesota Lynx, but surely the Lynx sometimes can surprise us with their formidable tactics this time the Connecticut Sun was unreadable in this game looking from Start to finish the Connecticut Sun was always leading, and as you have said there was a time that the Lead was cut short to just 1 point but Still the Connecticut Sun didn't allow them to get that lead that they needed but if you look at every quarter of the game the 1st half was a dominant performance for the Connecticut Sun while the 2nd half was a close one 3rd quarter was a lead for the Connecticut Sun by 1 point and 4th quarter was a lead for the Lynx with 1 point for sure the Connecticut Sun had a formidable win in this game,

We will be having a 3-day break I supposed before the WNBA Semifinals continue the game will start with the New York Liberty VS Connecticut Sun and the Las Vegas Aces VS Dallas Wings, for game 1 of the Semi-Finals,

This game was really a win for the Connecticut Sun and surely everyone really knows who's winning in this game, the game was very dominant for the 1st half of the game for the Connecticut Sun and then a close game for the 2nd half but still the Connecticut Sun was really gone with their Lead on their points, so much the Minnesota Lynx doesn't stand a chance for sure

For me, I would like to choose 2 in this Semi-finals that could go into the Finals and that will be the New York Liberty and the Las Vegas Aces sure well if I have put a poll for this thread I could surely start a poll but yeah this thread doesn't have that,


But because I haven't made a Poll for this thread let's do this instead my pick for this Semi-final game and the ones highlighted in Green are my picks so I am going to the safest and that will be Liberty and Aces that will be going into the Finals,

New York Liberty
Las Vegas Aces
Connecticut Sun
Dallas Wings

[danherbias07]

I'm going in full support of New York Liberty here to win the whole thing. I think Breanna Stewart was meant to be there to give them a championship.
New York Liberty may have the most appearances in the Finals but they have never won a ring just yet. I think this will be their time although if the Dallas Wings cannot put down the Las Vegas Aces, it will be a hard-fought game for them.
But, their next battle will be up against the Connecticut Sun, this is also a formidable team and they cannot underestimate them. If I were the Liberty coach, I'd watch that game where Minnesota Lynx won against them because there might be a clue on how they can take advantage of that and win it easily.
The inside defense of the Sun is weak, they may want to focus their offense on Jonquel Jones and let her dominate under the rim.

[danherbias07]

Guys in 2 hours a game will start in the Semi-Finals. I am quite surprised no one has shared their bets yet. I hope you are all okay.

Here is my pick.
1:00 AM September 25, 2023, GMT+8
New York Liberty - Connecticut Sun - New York Liberty & Over 162.5 @2.32
Yes, I am using a combo because I don't like taking the risky -7.5 only against the Connecticut Sun. This may become a close game so I'd rather take another option.
I like both teams but I do love Liberty more and when their trio clicks, it will be a big problem for the Sun.

The next game will be at 5:00 AM GMT+8
Las Vegas Aces - Dallas Wings - Las Vegas Aces & Over 174.5 @2.17
I also don't like to take the -10.5 spread for the Aces. Underestimating the Dallas Wings could be a big mistake if it becomes a close game too.

Both games are too early for my timeline so I will miss it and might just watch the replay later or the highlights.
Good luck everyone.

[YuginKadoya]

I was late with the 1st game and it was already in the 4th quarter but for sure the 2nd game is still here to make a bet you're Over 162.5 Score is likely might be near but I was really surprised to see New York Liberty gets owned by Connecticut Sun but for sure the Connecticut Sun has a great defense and offense for now than the New York Liberty has right now but it was a great lead that the Connecticut Sun got against the New York Liberty right now so for sure they are winning this game,


Now my pick and prediction for the 2nd game in the WNBA

Las Vegas Aces VS Dallas Wings

The stake odds for this game are 1.15 for the Aces and 4.70 for the Wings, right now Candace Parker and Riquna Williams can not play for the Las Vegas Aces Parker has an ankle injury and Williams are Suspended, while both Diamond DeShields and Lou Lopez Senechal are out of this season and both also because of a Knee injury, for this game we all know the Dominant games that the Las Vegas Aces got in the recent games but for sure the Dallas Wings had a potential to get the win just like what they did in their recent games with the Aces on July 8, where the Dallas Wings won the game but for sure that was just a coincidence and the Las Vegas Aces just got 7 players for sure and has many injuries that time, so for sure so for this game my pick is he Las Vegas Aces,

I totally missed the game for the New York Liberty VS Connecticut Sun but maybe it is for the best because I might bet for the Liberty on this game for sure and I may lose it as well, the Connecticut Sun made a great adjustment and for sure they are getting better on the play-offs for sure and pretty much many though that the Liberty can make a win in this game, but they were wrong for sure but regarding your bet If I am correct it was Under 174.5 for sure,


Here is my bet and prediction for this game,

Las Vegas Aces (1.15) VS Dallas Wings (4.70)

The game will commence at Michelob ULTRA Arena, the home of the Las Vegas Aces, right now, Candace Parker has an Ankle injury and Riquna Williams is suspended and both can not play for the Las Vegas Aces, while Diamond DeShields has a knee injury and Lou Lopez Senechal also has a knee injury and both are out for this season and regarding in this game both e teams have great offense for sure but the Las Vegas Aces has great domination in their previous games for sure this is going to be their win as Dallas Wings if I am not mistaking just have 1 win against them and it is questionable if it was a legit win but for sure the Dallas Wings is just lucky but for sure can also surprise us with a win but for this game,, my pick is the Las Vegas Aces, but my bet is Under 174.5 @ 1.85,
