I surely missed the games Last time, but I am back, and here are my bet and predictions for games today,

Atlanta Dream (1.25) VS Washington Mystics (3.80)

The game will be at Gateway Center Arena the home of the Atlanta Dream, for this game the Atlanta Dream Doesn't have any injuries Elena Delle Donne has an ankle injury, Shakira Austin has a hip injury, Kristi Toliver has a foot injury and Ariel Atkins has an ankle injury, and Queen Egbo is questionable if she's gonna play for this game, for this game because the Atlanta Dream doesn't have any injuries my take here is the Washington Mystics can hardly win this game, so my pick is the Atlanta Dream,



Chicago Sky (1.30) VS Phoenix Mercury (3.20)

The game will be at Wintrust Arena the home of the Chicago Sky, for this game right now Isabelle Harrison got a knee injury and Rebekah Gardner has a foot injury both are out for this season, and Sika Kone is suspended, and can not play for the Chicago Sky While Skylar Diggins-Smith, has a personal problem, Diana Taurasi has quadriceps injuries, and Brittney Griner has a personal problem as well and can not play for the Phoenix Mercury, for this game I think that the Chicago Sky is hard to bet on because of their previous mistakes but the Mercury can not be underestimated, but my pick is Chicago Sky,



L.A. Sparks (3.95) New York Liberty (1.21)

the game will be at the Crypto.com Arena home of the Los Angeles Sparks, for this game, Katie Lou Samuelson has a personal Problem and is out for this season, Nia Clouden has a knee injury, Chiney Ogwumike has a foot injury, and Lexie Brown has an illness and all can not play for the Los Angeles Sparks, while Han Xu is suspended, Stefanie Dolson has an ankle injury and both can not play for the New York Liberty, for this game for sure the New York Liberty will win this because they surely have less injured, so my picks is the New York Liberty,

^I wish you are alright @YuginKadoya and your family. So that's why you haven't shared your picks from the last game.

Anyway, I lost all my bets last time and it was a surprising result.
Minnesota Lynx winning against New York Liberty - I have a fault here, I didn't consider exhaustion could be a problem because Liberty played back-to-back games. Although Sabrina Ionescu was hot on the offensive end with 31 points, it's not enough to beat the Lynx with Kayla McBride and Diamond Miller leading the team.

Tomorrow though, we have six games. All of them are too early for my time so I have to put my picks as early as now. I might not even be able to watch the games too.
Connecticut Sun - Minnesota Lynx - Connecticut Sun (-12.5) @1.89
Atlanta Dream - Washington Mystics - Atlanta Dream (-6.5) @1.89
Chicago Sky - Phoenix Mercury - Chicago Sky (-7.5) @1.92
L.A. Sparks - New York Liberty - New York Liberty (-9.5) @1.90
Las Vegas Aces - Dallas Wings - Las Vegas Aces (-10.5) @1.82

I'll pass on just one game. Fever versus Storm - too close in spreads and I am not sure which will win between the two.

Sorry I haven't made my picks it was Raining Heavily in our country because of a storm and yeah when there are storms there are floods had flooded in my place two times It was the other day and the 2nd flood was the worst flood we have experience, that is why I have missed a bet and posting it here,

New York Liberty VS Minnesota Lynx I have missed this one but I was surprised that the Liberty lost and Minnesota has one this one, Sabrina Ionescu made an explosive performance while Breanna Stewart supported her all the way but it was really not their day, The Chicago Sky VS Seattle Storm and as expected the Seattle Storm wins and lastly Dallas Wings VS Washington Mystics that the Dallas Wings have won it as expected aswell,

And I have watched something on Youtube that they are talking about what JiDion prank did to the NBA and the WNBA and that they should have not banned him but instead used him to cater to more views for that purpose to garner more views because positive and negative views are still views or exposure, or it could be an eye-opening for the WNBA to do more, and players in the WNBA has become stubborn sometimes when Luka Doncic message WNBA star Arike Ogunbowale showing his Support they viewed this as a negative one, I really don't understand it is a positive message from Luka Doncic and they just think this as being a harassment to them,

And here is my result on the live game of New York Liberty versus Atlanta Dream.


Atlanta Dream had their chance two cut the lead by 6 in the 3rd quarter with Allisha Gray getting hot on the distance shots but the 4th quarter is where they made a mistake. They forgot to defend this lady, Betnijah Laney, who punished them on the offensive end after being left alone most of the time.
The New York Liberty made a good choice of trusting her because he scored almost half of the entire 4th quarter for them.

We have 3 games today. I didn't see your picks yet guys. It will start in less than an hour.

Here are my picks.
Dallas Wings versus Washington Mystics - Washington Mystics (10.5) Will not underestimate the Mystics as they can fight back even without EDD. They showed it against the Lynx last time.
Chicago Sky versus Seattle Storm - Chicago Sky (-2.5)
New York Liberty versus Minnesota Lynx - New York Liberty (-11.5) I think this could be covered if they can bring the momentum of their win yesterday.

Congrats to all that win their bet, and for the Losses, there is still a chance to bounce back, now here are the result of my bets yesterday

Los Angeles Sparks VS Indiana Fever SCORE 81 - 68 - LOST

For me, I made a bet for the Indiana Fever and failed miserably because the LA Sparks win this game, even though the Fever got their spread it was clear that the Los Angeles Sparks that win this match because Jordin Canada made 21 points, and Nneka Ogwumike got 25 points winning this game against the Sparks,

New York Liberty VS Atlanta Dream SCORE 95 - 84 - WIN

Well, it is likely a close game but surely the New York Liberty have played in here just to win this game, well, Allisha Gray have a great game making 25 points but it was not enough with the Liberty's points Sabrina Ionescu got 12, Betnijah Laney, got 14 points  Jonquel Jones has a double-double of 13 rebounds and 19 points and Brenna Stewart has a double-double of 12 rebounds and 33 pints winning the game,

Here are my result for the WNBA games yesterday

Los Angeles Sparks (1.64) VS Indiana Fever (2.23) - LOST

I really thought that the Indiana Fever will likely win against the Los Angeles Sparks but they have lost yet again, for this game the Los Angeles Sparks were pretty much soaring from start to finish it was a one-sided game for them, Erica Wheeler has done a great job but it was not enough because the lead of the Los Angeles Spark keeps on increasing, with Jordin Canada's 21 points and Nneka Ogwumike's 25 points that the Fever didn't likely catch up for this game,



New York Liberty (1.20) VS Atlanta Dream (4.00) - WIN

The New York Liberty didn't let the Atlanta Dreams make a lead in this game it was a one-sided game the Atlanta Dreams got Aarion McDonald's and Allisha Gray but their contribution to the team was not enough and so Sabrina Ionesco, Betnijah Laney made 14 points, Jonquel Jones had a double-double of 13 rebounds and 19 points, while Breanna Stewart has a double-double too of 12 rebounds and 33 points leading the game today,

^^Good luck with your bets guys. May lady luck be with you. 

2 games. I am late with the other one as it is finished right now. Again with the super early games.
Los Angeles Sparks won over Indiana Fever - Sorry guys your one bet is a loss. Let's wish for a split.

The second game is ongoing and I cannot find an opportunity to bet for my favorite team New York Liberty. The spread is -14.5 right now with Liberty leading with 12 points. I don't want to risk that much against a team like the Atlanta Dream, they are sometimes scary when their hands are on fire.
So, I found one opportunity which enhances my chance to win the bet. +18.5 for the Atlanta Dream.

I hope that's enough to cover against the strong Liberty who are on their 3rd winning streak and might make it 4 today.
The game is getting physical but still a high-scoring game. Good luck with our bets.

For this game today on the WNBA here are my picks and prediction

Los Angeles Sparks vs Indiana Fever

The Los Angeles Sparks are having a game with the Indiana Fever at Crypto.com Arena, the key injury for the Los Angeles Sparks is Katie Lou Samuelson (personal) and she is out this season Karlie Samuelson (knee) and is doubtful and Lexie Brown (Illness), Chiney Ogwumike has a foot injury, and Nia Clouden has a knee injury can all can not play for the sparks

New York Liberty vs Atlanta Dream

The New York Liberty is having a game with the Atlanta Dream at Barclays Center, the key injury for the New York Liberty is Stefanie Dolson (ankle) and Han Xu (suspended) and both players can not play for the Liberty, while the Atlanta Dream doesn't have any injuries at all, for this game I am doubting the Atlanta Dream even if they don't have any injuries the New York Liberty is a dominant team, and for sure they can attain that domination even in this game,

I am feeling lucky today so here are my picks and prediction for this game

Los Angeles Sparks (1.64) VS Indiana Fever (2.23)

The game will be held at Crypto.com Arena home of the Los Angeles Sparks for this game Katie Lou Samuelson has a personal problem that is why she is out of this season, Karlie Samuelson has a knee injury and is doubtful if she can play for the Sparks, and Lexie Brown with Illness, Chiney Ogwumike has a foot injury, and Nia Clouden has a knee injury can all can not play for the sparks, while NaLyssa Smith has a foot injury and can not play for the Fever, so for this game because of the injury of the Spark for me the Fever has a better chance in winning so my pick is for the Indiana Fever,  



New York Liberty (1.20) VS Atlanta Dream (4.00)

The game will be held at Barclays Center home of the New York Liberty, for this game Stefanie Dolson has an ankle injury and Han Xu was suspended for this game and both players can not play for the Liberty, while the Atlanta Dream doesn't have any injuries but despite the Dream is 100% going with this game looking at the recent games between these two teams the Atlanta Dream doesn't have any lost against the New York Liberty,

Thanks, I bet my luck might not run out yet, it was a really lucky day that is, and I missed that game yesterday, it was not a good pick for you for sure the Washington Mystics are the favorite to win In that game, but the Minnesota Lynx can surely surprise us sometimes and right now Diamond Miller is now out of the injured list and had played for the Minnesota Lynx, and she has to Contribute good points for the team, and for sure it was really a close game,

---

Now here are my bet and prediction for games today,

Los Angeles Sparks VS Indiana Fever

The stake odds for this game are 1.64 for the Sparks and 2.23 for the Fever, right now Karlie Samuelson is doubtful if she can play for the Sparks, Katie Lou Samuelson is out of this season, and Lexie Brown, Chiney Ogwumike, and Nia Clouden all can not play for the Sparks, while NaLyssa Smith can not play for the Fever because of a foot injury, for this game because of the injuries for the Los Angeles Sparks for me I will go with the Indiana Fever,

New York Liberty VS Atlanta Dream

The stake odds for this game are 1.20 for the Liberty and 4.00 for the Dream, right now Stefanie Dolson and Han Xu, can not play for the Liberty, while the Atlanta Dream doesn't have any injuries right now for this game even though the Atlanta Dream doesn't have any injuries the Dream doesn't have any win against the New York Liberty on their previous games, so my pick is the New York Liberty,

^Congratulations @YuginKadoya. Nice picks. I did aim for higher profits that's why I lost because the spreads were not covered by both New York Liberty and Las Vegas Aces.

There's one game today and I am one of the unlucky guys again who lost another bet.   I caught the game in the 3rd quarter where Minnesota Lynx is in the lead with 5 points if I remember it right. So, I took the +4.5 for the Washington Mystics as I thought that should suffice to cover the spreads.
But I am very unlucky, I need one more point.

If only that transition foul and technical foul did not happen or if only I just waited for 2 more minutes when the Lynx added 3 to their lead, 8 points were their highest, I may have caught the +5.5 or more.
Lots of missed shots from the Mystics, this is their problem without EDD, they are having trouble finding the right lady to score for them in crucial games.
If EDD was there, her post-up game could've changed the game. But it will also change the odds so I think the Mystics still did a great job at preserving the lead at a single digit.

Now this is the result of my bet and prediction on games Yesterday, and just like what you see I got 4 out of 5 wins,

Chicago Sky VS Las Vegas Aces SCORE 95 - 107 - WIN

Pretty much a close game and the Chicago Sky have done their all in winning this game with Courtney William's double-double, Marina Mabrey, Elizabeth Williams, and the game's lead scorer Kahleah Copper that got 37 points on this game but it was not enough in winning the game with Aces, Jackie Young's 15 points, Chelsea Gray's 22 points, A'ja Wilson's 24 points, and Kelsey Plum's 27 points, winning the game

New York Liberty VS Seattle Storm SCORE 86 - 82 - WIN

This another close game I really thought I would lose this game but the Liberty is not a slack team for sure, Sabrina Ionescu has a triple-double of 12 rebounds 12 assists, and 12 points for this game and Breanna Stewart was on the lead for this game, surely it was a win for me so I was really happy with the result

Atlanta Dream VS Phoenix Mercury SCORE 78 - 65 - WIN

The Atlanta Dream was pretty much great against the Phoenix Mercury the only one present for the Mercury was Brittney Griner and Megan Gustafson, but the Atlanta Dream has a pretty much great spread for this game, and I was really happy with the result,

Dallas Wings VS Connecticut Sun SCORE 83 - 88 - WIN

I was surprised by the Dallas Wings but surely because of the odds I think it was pretty much accurate, and nice winning the underdog team for me, Tiffany Hayes and DeWanna Bonner did a pretty much good job for this game Hayes Currently getting 28 points and Bonner 32 lead points for this game,

Los Angeles Sparks VS Indiana Fever SCORE 79 - 78 - LOST

And lastly, the only game I wasn't happy with and the opponent won with just 1 point, pretty much I was frustrated because I am near to having a perfect bet, well the Indiana Fever have surely covered the spread for this game but with just 1 point the Sparks was lucky Jordin Canada has a double-double of 10 assist and 20 points, Azura Stevens got 15 points and Nneka Ogwumike got 30 points losing this 1 game,

Here are the result of my bets for the Yesterday games of the WNBA,

Dallas Wings vs Connecticut Sun - WIN

It was a close match but the Connecticut Sun made it to the 2nd half and won it in a dominant fashion in my opinion, Satou Sabally has a double-double, Teaira McCowan has a double-double, and Arike Ogunboale has the lead score for the Wings, but the Connecticut Sun have punished them with just Tiffany Hayes, and DeWanna Bonner, with Tiffany Hayes got 28 points and DeWanna Bonner got 32 points winning this game,

Los Angeles Sparks vs Indiana Fever - LOST

While I lost this game it was a tedious close game for both teams, and the L.A. Sparks win this game with just 1 point, the Fever has a decent spread that could surely win this game and actually, they are on the lead and could surely win the game with 76 - 78 score but Jordin Canada made a 3 point shot, Azura Steven got 6, 0, 15, Jordin Canada got 4, 10, 20, a double-double for Canada, and Nneka Ogwumike got 8, 3, 30, winning the game and losing my bet,

Result for my WNBA bets and prediction,

Atlanta Dream (1.26) VS Phoenix Mercury (3.50) - WIN

It was near domination when the Atlanta Dream won against the Phoenix Mercury 78 - 65, it might be the injuries for the Mercury, but surely Brittney Griner and Megan Gustafson did tremendously but it was not enough for the Atlanta Dream's dominating performance, they indeed got a good spread for this game although Gustafson has a lead points for this game, Rhyne Howard made 10 points for this game, Aarion McDonald has 11 points and both Allisha Gray and AD Durr both have 12 points



Dallas Wings (1.57) VS Connecticut Sun (2.26) - WIN

A close game indeed, for these two teams I was really Surprise because it was a close game but I won the underdog bet, for the Connecticut Sun, Teaira McCowan, Satou Sabally and Arike Ogunbowale did a great job with this game but was not enough because the Connecticut Sun still has the pace, for this game Tiffany Hayes and DeWanna Bonner was all the Connecticut Sun need winning this game, Tiffany Hayes has 28 points and DeWanna Bonner got 32 points,



Los Angeles Sparks (1.48) VS Indiana Fever (2.47) - LOST

Close one, A very close one indeed, I lost this game by 1 point, but it was a great game to watch, Indiana Fever have a great spread, From Erica Wheeler, Kelsey Mitchell, and Victoria Vivians have a great deal spread but it was not really enough, Azura Stevens got 15 points, Jordin Canada has a double-double and Nneka Ogwumike did a great job in getting the win with only 1 point lead,

What a great comeback from the New York Liberty and this is their highest return this season. 17 points deficit was their last record, now they came back from an 18-point deficit against the former team of Breanna Stewart Seattle Storm. They did a good long run in the 3rd quarter by playing tough defense against Jewell Lloyd to stop the offense of the Storm and cut it to 6 points.
They are strong without a doubt. Sabrina Ionescu made a triple-double night 12-12-12, damn that was hot. Breanna Stewart on the other hand was also unstoppable on perimeter shots and Jonquel Jones doing her work beneath the rim by recording her season-high rebounds which is 17.
Liberty won but I lost my bet, it didn't cover but surely that was an impressive game and super entertaining.
That will also make my parlay at a loss.

Won my bet for the Atlanta Dream against the Phoenix Mercury.
Las Vegas Aces did not cover because of the last three-pointer from the Sky. Ouch. I need Connecticut Sun to win for a split.


Edit: Got the Sun win. Yey. A split. Now making a choice for Sparks or Fever to make a win or lose. 

Well, because I don't really like the odds on the 1st 3 early games I am going with the 2 later games for the WNBA

Dallas Wings vs Connecticut Sun

The game will be at College Park Center, the home of the Dallas Wings, for this game the key injury for the Dallas Wings are Lou Lopez Senechal (knee), and Diamond DeShields (knee) and both can not play the Dallas Wings while Brionna Jones (Achilles) and can not play for the Connecticut Sun, well for this game I really like both of your assessment with this game and I also like to risk my bet on this one to the underdog so my bet is for the Connecticut Sun,

Los Angeles Sparks vs Indiana Fever

The game will be at Crypto.com Arena, the home of the Los Angeles Sparks, for this game Los Angeles Sparks' key injury is Katie Lou Samuelson (Personal) out for this season, Karlie Samuelson (knee) and is doubtful, Nia Clouden (knee), and Chiney Ogwumike (foot), and can not play for the Sparks, while NaLyssa Smith (foot) and can not play for the Fever, for this game I am also going with the same prediction the same as you two going with the underdog so my bet is for the Indiana Fever,

They Really are in need of boosting their viewers because if not there is no increase in Salaries for sure, while the NBA has many sponsors to date while the WNBA should be thankful that the NBA and mostly some players on the NBA are funding the WNBA just to stay on track, and did you see the salary of Football player Kylian Mbappé that makes some players of the NBA jealous because it was a $776 Million in just 1-year contract,

---

Now my bet and picks for the WNBA games today and I am going with all the games

Chicago Sky VS Las Vegas Aces

The stake odds for this game are 7.20 for the Sky and 1.06 for the Aces, right now Rebekah Gardner and Isabelle Harrison can not play for the Sky while Candace Parker and Riquna Williams can not play for the Aces, this game Surely enough the Sky is not playing at their 100% form, making mistake and losses, back to back while the Aces Candace Parker was injured and can not play today but the Las Vegas Aces still got good players to play the game with domination so my pick for this game is the Las Vegas Aces,

New York Liberty VS Seattle Storm

The stake odds for this game are 1.05 for Liberty and 7.60 for the Storm, right now Stefanie Dolson and Han Xu can not play for the Liberty, while Jordan Horston can not play for the Storm, with this game the Seattle Storm Jordan Horston is a key player for them while the 2 injuries of the Liberty is really nothing so for this game the New York Liberty could be in their dominance form again with this game so my pick is the New York Liberty,

Atlanta Dream VS Phoenix Mercury

The stake odds for this game are 1.26 for the Dream and 3.50 for the Mercury, right now the Dream doesn't have any injuries while Skylar Diggins-Smith and Diana Taurasi can not play for the Phoenix Mercury, for this game the Atlanta Dream is at their 100% form while the Mercury doesn't have Taurasi that is a Crucial player, so my pick for this game is the Atlanta Dream,

Dallas Wings VS Connecticut Sun

The stake odds for this game are 1.57 for the Wings and 2.26 for the Sun, right now Lou Lopez Senechal and Diamond DeShields can not play for the Wings while Brionna Jones can not play for the Connecticut Sun, this is the 1st time the Dallas Wings will go against the Connecticut Sun, while Brionna Jones can not play for the Connecticut Sun I really think it will not affect the other players of the Sun to do more, so I am going with the Underdog, and my pick is the Connecticut Sun,

Los Angeles Sparks VS Indiana Fever

The stake odds for this game are 1.48 for the Sparks and 2.47 for the Fever, right now Katie Lou Samuelson is out for this season, while her sister Karlie Samuelson is doubtful if she can play for the Sparks, and Nia Clouden and Chiney Ogwumike can not play on this game for the Sparks while NaLyssa Smith can not play for the Indiana Fever, for this game there are a lot of injuries for the Sparks while the Fever got only one, for this game I am still going with the Underdog aswell my pick is the Indiana Fever,

Yes, we are having 5 games today and it was really juicy for sure but I am going with only 3 games because the odds on the 2 games were so high,

Atlanta Dream (1.26) VS Phoenix Mercury (3.50)

The Atlanta Dream is having a game against the Phoenix Mercury at Gateway Center Arena, for this game the Atlanta Dream doesn't have any injuries Skylar Diggins-Smith has a personal problem, and Diana Taurasi has a Quadricep injury and both players can not play for the Phoenix Mercury, for this game, Diana Taurasi has proven that she is needed for this game and because she is out right now my pick is the Atlanta Dream



Dallas Wings (1.57) VS Connecticut Sun (2.26)

The Dallas Wings are having a game against the Connecticut Sun at College Park Center, for this game, Lou Lopez Senechal has a knee injury, and Diamond DeShields also has a knee injury and both can not play for the Dallas Wings, while Brionna Jones has an Achilles injury and can not play for the Connecticut Sun, for this game the Connecticut Sun has proven they can win even without Brionna Jones, and this is the 1st time the Dallas Wings would have a game against the Connecticut Sun so my pick for this game is the underdog the Connecticut Sun,



Los Angeles Sparks (1.48) VS Indiana Fever (2.47)

The Los Angeles Sparks is having a game against the Indiana Fever, at Crypto.com Arena, for this game Katie Lou Samuelson is now out for this season because of Personal Problem, Nia Clouden has a knee injury, and Chiney Ogwumike has a foot injury, and both can not play for the Los Angeles Sparks and Karlie Samuelson has a knee injury and is doubtful if she can play for the Sparks, while NaLyssa Smith has a foot injury and can not play for the Indiana Fever, for this game I think that the Los Angeles Sparks is out of form while the Indiana Fever is something that can surprise other teams even without Smith to the team that is why I am also going with the underdog the Indiana Fever,

Yes, they should. The good side of boosting the number of viewers will give high salaries to the WNBA players. I mean, I was shocked when I saw how far their salaries are from the NBA. Even All-Star women players are not in the millions of dollars which is way far from the stars of the NBA.


Source: Yahoo Sports
Even though they are playing for a short amount of time, for me that's still not that much especially if they are preserving their health. A change in WNBA is definitely needed to also make a change in their income.
Just look at how less forum members are here than the NBA, that tells a lot.

5 games later guys or tomorrow for GMT+8.
I have a parlay already set and fingers crossed that it will win.
New York Liberty (-15.5)
Las Vegas Aces (-14.5)
Atlanta Dream (-6.5)
Connecticut Sun ML
L.A. Sparks (-3.5)

Overall is 24.93. It will be a yummy treat if all will hit correctly. Good luck to everyone.

If it's for the views I think it is still good publicity, and instead of getting a wake-up call on why the WNBA is having negative feedback from many YouTubers and recently why a prank of sleeping inside the WNBA could be such a big deal, I think Jidion is hurting their ego, and this is the fact that the WNBA is really boring, while surely we enjoy the game of the WNBA we can not surely please and make people watch and also enjoy the WNBA same as we did, I think the WNBA should make this prank as a weak up call to surely  make a move or listen to other peoples suggestion on how they can improve the WNBA I really think that Jidion could also have a right, but yeah it is really offensive for the WNBA but in a different perspective this is a wake-up call for the league for sure,

Brittney Griner, in my opinion, Griner only has 1 job and that is to practice and improve herself, although the NBA also is doing the same I really think the quality of the WNBA should be improved the NBA has tons of sponsors, and viewers while the WNBA doesn't have many viewers that are true,


for me, the WNBA should target boosting the number of viewers of the WNBA and making the game more exciting maybe try the suggestion of Shaq to lower the Rim for a couple of days just to try it out, and they already put a 4pt line on their All-star games, I think this is just a trial on putting the 4pts line on the future,
