I also missed that two games for today the Mystics VS Fever and the Liberty VS Wings and just like I am really confused how does the Fever and the Wings manage a win against these two teams which is very much shocking for me because we all know the history for these two teams and it seems I only manage to see the glympes of their games for today, both are very close and surely the Fever and the Wings have struggle so much in winning their games against the Mystics and the Liberty,

---

This is my bet and prediction for games for the WNBA today I will put my bet right now and will make a bet for tomorrow games aswell,

Connecticut Sun (1.35) VS Atlanta Dream (2.95)

The game will be at Mohegan Sun Arena, home court of the Connecticut Sun, for this game Brionna Jones has an Achilles injury and can not play for the Connecticut Sun, while Aari McDonald has a Shoulder injury and can not play for the Atlanta Dream, and so for this game this could be another close game just like what happen in the Phoenix Mercury VS the Connecticut Sun game but assuming the game history for both teams on paper the Connecticut Sun can likely win in this game so my pick for this game is the Connecticut Sun,

I missed 2 games today and didn't make my bet well for me it is a good thing because the unusual happen and just like you I am also surprise by the fact that the Indiana Fever and the Dallas Wings win their game for sure it was a struggle for both teams in winning against for me the top tier teams for this league,

The Washington Mystics VS Indiana Fever game was for sure a close game I really don't know what happen to the Mystics but as you have said Elena Delle Donne didn't play and the Fever have capitalized this opportunity to make an easy score, surely it was an exciting league but if Elena Delle Donne return the Indiana Fever will surely struggle again for sure,

---

This is my bet for today I only got 1 bet for now but later will bet on the other 3 for tomorrow games and for this game it will surely start early on today so here are my bet and prediction

Connecticut Sun VS Atlanta Dream

The stake odds for this game are 1.35 for the Sun and 2.95 for the Dream right now Brionna Jones has an Achilles injury and can not play for the Sun while Aari McDonald has a Shoulder injury and can not play for the Dream, for this game last games between this two teams the Atlanta Dream have won against the Connecticut Sun, but for this game for me I will go with the the Connecticut Sun for this game I think they will make a comeback even though Brionna Jones can not play for them my pick is the Connecticut Sun,

I missed the last game Washington Mystics versus Indiana Fever as I was so sleepy at 11:30 PM.
Fever won, that's surprising. I lost my bet too. Damn, that was a bad day for me.

Mystics had a rough time finding their offense and defense without Elena Delle Donne and the Fever took advantage of that. Natasha Cloud scored 19 points for the Mystics but that is not enough to bring down the Fever with most of them having a double-digit scoring game. Aliyah Boston 2 rebounds away from a double-double in just 28 minutes of playtime which helped a lot to cover the win for the Fever.
Now, Mystics is down at the 4th seed while the Atlanta Dream takes over the 3rd spot. It will be an exciting seeding if they will be battling that close in the rankings.

Now because yesterday's game was settled now and we have an ongoing game currently in its 3rd Quarter here is my bet for today's and tomorrow's WNBA games,

Washington Mystics vs Indiana Fever

The Washington Mystics are having a game against the Indiana Fever at Entertainment & Sports Arena, right now the Key injuries for the Washington Mystics are Kristi Toliver, (foot), Ariel Atkins (ankle), Elena Delle Donne (ankle), and Shakira Austin (Hip) and can not play for the Washington Mystics while The key injuries for the India Fever are NaLyssa Smith (foot), and Lexie Hull (Nose) and both can not play for this game, for this game even though there are many injuries for the Washington Mystics, well I have made my bet ahead of time but the game was very close indeed but still my bet is the Washington Mystics,

New York Liberty vs Dallas Wings

The New York Liberty are having a game against the Dallas Wings at Barclays Center, right now the key injuries for the New York Liberty are Stefanie Dolson (ankle), and Han Xu (Suspension), while the key injuries for the Dallas Wings are Diamond DeShields (knee), Lou Lopez Senechal (knee), and Kalani Brown (Concussion) is questionable if she's able to play for the team, right now I still like the New York Liberty despite all of those injuries because they still got a decent team so my pick for this game is the New York Liberty,

Sad to say but maybe you can surely bounce back in the later games, for sure the Washington Mystics and the Indiana Fever may have a close game and right now the game is commencing and I haven't made my bet for this game, and missed the opportunity, and I really don't want to bet if the game has already started,

But this is the result of my bet and prediction on games yesterday

Atlanta Dream vs Minnesota Lynx SCORE 82 - 73 - WIN

That window of opportunity for the Atlanta Dream's win is a surely win the Atlanta Dream made a remarkable lead in the 1st half and it continued until the game finished, and like everybody has said Napheesa Collier made a great performance in this game but it was not enough making 35 points for the Lynx, but Allisha Gray got 12 points, AD Durr got 13 points, Nia Coffey has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 13 points, and Rhyne Howard got 21 points winning the game,

Phoenix Mercury vs Connecticut Sun SCORE 72 - 66 - LOST

A close game indeed, but the Phoenix Mercury had managed to make a lead in the 2nd half of the game and manage to stay in that lead until the game finished, But I was really shocked that the Connecticut Sun lost to the Phoenix Mercury DeWanna Bonner did her best but didn't make a comeback for this game, Moriah Jefferson got 11 points, Brittney Griner got 12 points Diana Taurasi got 15 points and Sophie Cunningham got 17 points winning against the Connecticut Sun,

I also got split, well the Connecticut Sun really was the favorite to win and they didn't deliver good results for sure there are a lot that lost on that pick, well there are games today and upon posting this I already made my bet aswell but will surely post my early game result 1st then maybe the game when I review my bet for today's game, well you may have lost your 2 bets but there is still a chance in bouncing back for sure and pretty much this is the result on my bets and game on the early WNBA games,

Atlanta Dream (1.37) vs Minnesota Lynx (2.90) - WIN

Clearly, the Atlanta Dream has to manage in winning this even though Napheesa Collier did well for the Minnesota Lynx it wasn't enough because the Atlanta Dream has managed to make a difference in clearing the spread Allisha Gray got 3, 6, 12, AD Durr got 2, 1, 13, Nia Coffey has a double-double of 10, 4, 13, and Rhyne Howard got 3, 7, 21,

Phoenix Mercury (3.35) vs Connecticut Sun (1.28) - LOST

Pretty much I was shocked by what had happened with this game I really didn't expect the result to be like this but clearly, it was a close game the Phoenix Mercury is surely a remarkable team that has done it and surprised us with the result, DeWanna Bonner did a great job and she also has a double-double for this game but it wasn't enough Brittney Griner got 5, 5, 12, Diana Taurasi got 3, 4, 15, and Sophie Cunningham got 6, 1, 17, winning the game and made a beautiful spread,

^Split. Congratulations.
I lost both my bet.

No, the Minnesota Lynx actually made a great comeback in the third quarter. They cut the lead from 22 points to just two ball possessions, 6 points. Napheesa Collier is the one who made it possible, she is damn hot in outside shots that everywhere she shoots it, it went in.
After that, the Atlanta Dream went mad again and dominated the game in the 4th quarter.
I could've won it if I took the +17.5 in the 2nd quarter but I got so scared that it might end up as a blowout game. Missed opportunity.

Yeah, about the Connecticut Sun, that was a sad loss. It was not Griner who did the offensive attack which is surprising, Taurasi and Cunningham were the ones who made it possible to snatch the win.

We still have one more game in 3 hours. I already made my bet so I will just wait for the game to start.

Here are the result for the WNBA betting for Yesterday's game

Atlanta Dream (1.37) vs Minnesota Lynx (2.90) - WIN

Well from start to finish the Atlanta Dream was pretty much in the lead and the Minnesota Lynx couldn't really keep up with the pace, The Lynx might have Napheesa Collier with her 35 points leading the Lynx and Kayla McBride that is doing what she can to make the lead but it was not enough for the Atlanta Dreams spread with their score was too large to for them to make a lead and the Atlanta Dream was full in control of the game with Allisha Gray and AD Durr's making a spread to the score than a double-double from Nia Coffey of 10 rebounds and 13 points, and Rhyne Howard's lead point for the Dream,

Phoenix Mercury (3.35) vs Connecticut Sun (1.28) - LOST

WOW! I never thought that the Connecticut Sun will lose to the Phoenix Mercury and the Mercury has a great offense in the 1st half ten the Connecticut Sun become very unresponsive with their defense anymore or they are just underestimating the Phoenix Mercury this much, DeWanna Bonner had a double-double that could make a lead for the Sun but the Atlanta Mercury is but it was not enough because the Phoenix Mercury already has a great lead in this game, Moriah Jefferson, Brittney Griner, and Sophie Cunningham was the players that have not given up in winning against the Driver,

3 games. 1 about to start.

Here are my picks.
Atlanta Dream - Minnesota Lynx - Minnesota Lynx Money Line @2.95 Taking a big risk here, not a recommended bet. I'd like to see the Lynx try their best to stop the winning streak of the Atlanta Dream. I wish they can, fingers crossed.

Phoenix Mercury - Connecticut Sun - Connecticut Sun (-7.5) Now this one is with no doubt a good bet in my opinion. Phoenix Mercury being in bad shape will be dominated by the Connecticut Sun. Brittney Griner is always exhausted doing all the work for the Mercury team.

The third game is not yet available on Stake.com. Anyway, it will start at 11:30 AM GMT+8 so there's still a lot of time. I am betting for the Washington Mystics on that game. I just hope the odds will not be that far considering EDD is not yet playing.

Good luck everyone.

Great picks you guys I really think I will get a ride at your picks aswell so here are my bets,

Atlanta Dream (1.37) vs Minnesota Lynx (2.90)

The Atlanta Dream is playing against the Minnesota Lynx at Gateway Center Arena, for this game the Atlanta Dream's key Injuries are Iliana Rupert (Suspension) and Aari McDonald (Shoulder) and both can not play for the Atlanta Dream, while Minnesota Lynx Key injuries are Natalie Achonwa (Personal), Jessica Shepard (Illness), Tiffany Mitchell (Wrist), Aerial Powers (Ankle) Rachel Banham (Thumbs), and Nikolina Milic (Shoulder) and all of them can not play for Minnesota Lynx, for this game there are so many injuries for the Lynx while the Atlanta Dreams Injuries only have 2, so for this game the Lynx maybe have a difficult time with their rotation so my picks is the Atlanta Dream,

Phoenix Mercury (3.35) vs Connecticut Sun (1.28)

The Phoenix Mercury is playing against the Connecticut Sun at Footprint Center, for this game the Phoenix Mercury's key injury is Skylar Diggins-Smith (Personal), while Connecticut Sun's key injury is Brionna Jones (Achilles), and both can not play for the Connecticut Suns, while this game might be could be domination for the Connecticut Sun, because both teams only got one injury, and for me, going for the Connecticut Sun could still be profitable with the given odds so my pick is the Connecticut Sun,

Well, I really think the prime Klay Thompson would be a proper comparison because I think the Klay Thompson now is not really a washed-up but there is something that stopping him sometimes from playing at his best, well you are right the injuries might have to kick sometimes,

---

Now here is my prediction and bet for the WNBA games I couldn't see any Mystics VS Fever in the stake again and these are the only two available so here it is,

Atlanta Dream vs Minnesota Lynx

The stake odds for this game are 1.37 for the Dream and 2.90 for the Lynx, right now Iliana Rupert, and Aari McDonald  both can not play for the Atlanta Dream, while Natalie Achonwa, Jessica Shepard, Tiffany Mitchell, Aerial Powers, Rachel Banham, and Nikolina Milic all can not play for Minnesota Lynx, in this game it could be a close match between the two but the Minnesota Lynx got so many injuries and the other two injuries are a most notable one so my pick is the Atlanta Dream winning this game

Phoenix Mercury vs Connecticut Sun

The stake odds for this game are 3.35 for the Mercury and 1.28 for the Sun, right now Skylar Diggins-Smith has a personal problem and can not play for the Mercury, while Brionna Jones has an Achilles injury and can not play for the Sun, for this game even without the injuries I really think this could be a one-sided game, but Brittney Grinner sometimes can have a good ball game but for me, this will be a win for the Connecticut Sun, so my pick is the Connecticut Sun,

My bet and prediction for the game in the WNBA today

Atlanta Dream (1.37) vs Minnesota Lynx (2.90)

The game will be at Gateway Center Arena, the Home arena of the Atlanta Dreams right now Injuries for the Atlanta Dreams are Iliana Rupert is Suspended and Aari McDonald has a shoulder and both can not play for the Atlanta Dream, while Minnesota Lynx injuries are Natalie Achonwa has a Personal problem, Jessica Shepard has an Illness, Tiffany Mitchell has a wrist injury, Aerial Powers has an ankle injury, Rachel Banham has a thumbs injury, and Nikolina Milic has a shoulder injury, and all of them can not play for Minnesota Lynx, for this game, there are so many injuries for the Lynx while the Atlanta Dreams Injured are not that big of players so my pick for this game is Atlanta Dream,



Phoenix Mercury (3.35) vs Connecticut Sun (1.28)

The game will be at Footprint Center, the home arena for the Phoenix Mercury's right now the injury for the Mercury is Skylar Diggins-Smith has a personal problem, and can not play for the Mercury while Connecticut Sun's injury is Brionna Jones has an Achilles injury, and can not play for the Suns, while this game might be could be a one-sided one, because both teams only got one injury, and for me, I think I will gain that with the Connecticut Sun,

It was really that early then the All-star games were really late, but the Skill challenge and the 3-point shootout were really early so early that I missed it aswell, and I missed the All-star games aswell they haven't given the exact time it will start, in my opinion, so I haven't able to make a bet on it, and yeah Jewell Loyd was the MVP and compared to Kelsey Plum's Looking like a middle school participation trophy Jewell Loyd, got an upgrade and it was a huge trophy worthy of her performance

Sabrina Ionescu was a monster seeing her performance in the 3-point shootout and then her performance on the All-star game he was firing 4 points, at least that was the Commentator was saying,


Very Amazing accuracy with those shots and when she misses them, that 1st shot you can eventually see that she has gained focus shooting the 2nd shot you surely got a good eye, and in the All-star game aswell she lost that 1st shot but eventually gained the courage to make a far from the 3 point lines I could say that Sabrina Ionescu was really build differently for sure,

Right now we are having a game for tomorrow and we have 4 games eventually and just like before will surely make my bet later, or maybe tomorrow,

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.

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.

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 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,

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.

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

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,


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,

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.

@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
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.

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,
