It was a very close game and I really think that I just got lucky with this game the Sparks were really getting into this game at the beginning of the game but surely the defending champion will not likely lose against the Los Angeles Sparks and Jackie Young was firing up with this game for sure the Aces is still the same as last season, they really have an explosive performance but with this game, it is really close and the Los Angeles Sparks can like have a chance in winning this game,


Sad to say I completely missed betting for today's game which is why I don't post my picks but will be posting my picks for tomorrow's games later just waiting for the sports book for the Las Vegas Aces and Los Angeles Sparks because I have seen Bookies for the New York Liberty against the Connecticut Sun but with the Aces VS Sparks I have seen nothing maybe it will be available later,


It was a banger of a game Seattle Storm against the Dallas Wings was really a close game and I think that the Dallas Wings really made a great offense and good spread even though they don't have any well-known names in the team those teams were really great in their Spread it was contributed outstanding right now I guess it is a great bet to take later I will put my picks

Chicago Sky ML @2.33 lost by 2 points
Seattle Storm ML @2.95 lost by 4 points.

Ergh. I should've taken that handicap.
EDD and Shakira Austin combined 40 points for the Mystics defeating the Sky by just 2 points. The Sky on the other hand spread the ball so well giving double digits to 4 players but not enough to win the game.

Dallas Wings performed a damn well offensive game. Ogunbowale had 26 monster points, Sabally and Dangerfield with 17, and Natasha Howard with 16.
Jewell Loyd of the Seattle Storm may have scored 30 points but it's also not enough to defeat the Wings.

Man, I could've won both games if I took the plus. Maybe it will be the exact amount too, these bookies are really good at predicting the game.

I have a lot of catching up to do aswell, but I think I can manage to put up a pick for games tomorrow I can not see any odds yet and there are no available WNBA betting for Sportsbet and Stake in the meantime I really don't know what is happening, but will look later maybe it is too early to make my picks, but maybe later I will look at it again if there are available odds and bets for games tomorrow,


Amazing picks but I haven't seen his picks for today's game I wish he would post his picks for tomorrow's games I would love to follow that pick of his, but surely a game for today the Washington Mystic have defeated the Chicago Sky the game was pretty much close If I am going to pick this I think I would have went for the Chicago Sky and might lose that game, but right now waiting for the odds for those certain sites,

Nice catch! Didn't bet as I don't have spare focusing with NBA, but luck did not back me up.

I'll be going to check those available games and see if I have some spare to throw. You are really good
with analysing and picking the games OP, keep sharing your pick as readers can use it as basis a good
timing for those who are looking for some alternative when looking for sports to place bets.

Lost my bet on this game, at the end of the first half the score was 46-36 in favor of the Sparks. Bet for the Sparks +1.5 @1.8x as i thought that the Aces won't catch up (actually i don't know the players on both teams) as it's a low-scoring game and a 10-point lead is hard to catch up in the WNBA but when go back to see the score, damn the Sparks lost hehe.

Bottom line, still have a lot of catching up to do to be more acquainted with the players and teams in the WNBA.

Nice parlay @jakelyson and congratulations to you to @YuginKadoya.

I forgot to bet yesterday for the games today.
The defending champion Las Vegas Aces did not lose yet. The Sparks did good at keeping the game close but Jacki Young of the Aces was unstoppable creating 30 points and helping the team to win. A'ja Wilson another double-double. 19 points and 13 rebounds. Like Alyssa Thomas, looks like Wilson will also average a double-double per game.

Phoenix Mercury on the other hand is also showing some great chemistry with their newly added player Britney Griner, well after the bad event.
Griner scored 19 points and Diana Taurasi with 23 points and 10 assists. The team is looking great and they might end up in a good spot for the playoffs.

2 games tomorrow.
Chicago Sky versus Washington Mystics‍ - Chicago Sky ML @2.33
Seattle Storm versus Dallas Wings‍ - Seattle Storm ML @2.95

Good luck guys.

Here are the results for today's game

Phoenix Mercury VS Minnesota Lynx SCORE 90 - 81 - WIN

Just as I thought that Phoenix Mercury had done it judging from their previous performance and the previous performance of the Minnesota Lynx the Mercury offense is really remarkable from their previous games, and this time Diana Taurasi has made some great performance for the team along with Brittney Griner, Moriah Jefferson, and Sophie Cunningham both got 13 points, Alecia Sutton got 14 points, Brittney Griner got 19 points, Diana Taurasi got 23 points,

Los Angeles Sparks VS Las Vegas Aces SCORE 85 - 94 - WIN

The Los Angeles Sparks were great at the start of the game until the Las Vegas Aces got a great chance to turn the table in the 2nd half surely this is a formidable team to mess with Candace Parker got 10 points, Chelsea Gray got 16 points, A'ja Wilson has a double-double of 13 rebounds and 19 points while Jackie Young got 30 points winning this game,

Yup! That sounds very logical approach the WNBA may take if they can not get much more revenue on the direct WNBA PPV and ticket sales gambling is also a better option for the WNBA,

My picks for today's game

Los Angeles Sparks vs Las Vegas Aces

The Los Angeles Sparks are playing at the Crypto.com Arena against the Las Vegas Aces, Sparks key injuries are Azura Stevens (back) is out, Jasmine Thomas (knee), and Katie Lou Samuelson (Personal) are all out and can not play for the Sparks Nia Clouden (undisclosed) and questionable while Ace's key injury is Riquna Williams (back) out and can not play for the Aces, for this game a better chance for the Aces to show what they are capable of, so my pick is the Las Vegas Aces,

Phoenix Mercury vs Minnesota Lynx

The Phoenix Mercury are playing at the Footprint Center against the Minnesota Lynx, Mercury key injuries are Megan Gustafson (foot), Shey Peddy (knee) and Skylar Diggins-Smith (personal) are all out and can not play for the Mercury, while Lynx key injury is Natalie Achonwa (personal) and is out and can not play for the Lynx, for this game the Lynx doesn't have a good win the same goes with the Mercury but the Mercury had many key players especially the returned to the team Brittney Griner that has an outstanding performance right now so my pick is the Phoenix Mercury,

My picks for tomorrow's game

Phoenix Mercury VS Minnesota Lynx

The stake odds for this game are 1.61 for Mercury and 2.17 for Lynx, Right now Megan Gustafson, Shey Peddy, and Skylar Diggins-Smith are all out and can not play for the Mercury while Natalie Achonwa has personal problems and can not play for the Lynx for this game Right now the Minnesota Lynx doesn't really perform well Napheesa Collier but most of her teammate is not in a great shape while the Phoenix Mercury had Griner and if the other players  for the Mercury need to help Griner in winning this game Diana Taurasi, Moriah Jefferson, and Alecia Sutton needs to Help Brittney "Russian" Griner in winning this game so my pick is the Phoenix Mercury,

Los Angeles Sparks VS Las Vegas Aces

The stake odds for this game are 6.60 for the Sparks and 1.07 for the Aces, Right now Azura Stevens, Jasmine Thomas, and Katie Lou Samuelson are out and can not play for the Sparks, and Nia Clouden is questionable, while Riquna Williams can not play for the Aces, because of back injury, for this game the Aces is doing great and if the only injury they have is only Wiliams I think they can still perform in their 100% form, and they are the defending champion this season I think this is a solid win for them tomorrow, so my pick is the Las Vegas Aces, but because of the odds it is not going to be profitable so I am betting Over 172.5 for this game,

Good timing with your Connecticut, as the odd is more than x2 if I remember it right.

Thomas and the girls are really sharing the ball and they are all in same page wanting to bring the team up again and maybe another
finals appearance as what every players/teams are hoping.

Though Lynx loses their game, it can still consider as profits if ever you equally divided your bets among these two picks, still
a good catch and Congrats!

And just as I thought the Connecticut Sun won it, it was a fairly close game and yes the Mystic could also win this game aswell but although the game was on Mystic's home court Connecticut got the 1st quarter for them that getting the lead back to them is not that difficult,


Whoa! This is my 1st time seeing the exact revenue for the WNBA and the highest-paid player, that is quite informative what you have shared here thanks, well, the objective of the thread is for people in the forum to be aware that there is a WNBA basketball for the woman but surely it will still depend if people would see it as appealing or not and we are not really forcing anyone to be on the thread it is just awareness and to likely put their discussion and also betting predictions for every game in the WNBA,

Here are the result for today's game

Washington Mystics VS Connecticut Sun SCORE 81 - 88 - WIN

Just like I have said the game was very close it was a solid game for these two teams and even though the Washinton Mystics has a home advantage it was clear that the Connecticut Sun will not really there be playing the game they are there to win, Tiffany Hayes and Natisha Hiedeman both got 13 points, DeWanna Bonner got 15 and Alyssa Thomas had a double-double of 10 rebounds and 22 points,
 
Minnesota Lynx VS Atlanta Dream SCORE 77 - 83 - LOST

The Minnesota Lynx did well in the 1st half but for some reason, the Atlanta Dream make a big comeback with Allisha Gray making a dent in the lead and that has gotten the edge for the Dream to make the win, Cheyenne Parker got 12 points, Naz Hillmon got 13, and  Allisha Gray has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 26 points, for me to lose this game,

They do. Lack of support had been the big problem of the WNBA, I think this is also why they cannot add more teams to their league. It would be more fun if could see more teams being created and stretching the number of games that will be played plus bigger playoff games just like the NBA. Then after that, it will roll with the players' increase in salaries and maybe the number of women who will pursue a career in basketball.
Just looking at this comparison table made me sad about how far the difference is.

https://www.wsn.com/nba/nba-vs-wnba/
The revenue, viewers, highest paid player difference, and average salary. It's way too far considering both are playing on a national level.

---

1/2 for me tonight.

Connecticut Sun didn't let me down.
Alyssa Thomas with another double-double, scoring 22 points and 10 rebounds. Wow, that's 2 games with double-double stats. I think this lady is going to average that amount every game. DeWanna Bonner helped out with 15 points, Hayes and Heideman with 13 points, and Jones with 12 points.
Remember, these ladies are the ones who fought the Aces in last year's Finals. They will not stop adding more wins to take the top spot of the league.

It seems like the NBA is really trying hard to support the WNBA and help them build a league.  I'm seeing more WNBA advertisements on TV and their players doing media interviews than I've ever seen.  While I do wish the WNBA success, I think they're going to need more support from women to truly be able to be profitable.  However, maybe as the league does more and more business via things like gambling, it will enable them to turn a profit outside of the typical revenue sources.

Well, you are right about that if the odds are for the Washington Mystics then you are profitable if the Connecticut Sun wins, but anyway I am going to follow on with your picks I think that the Sun may get this opportunity in winning again even though they are away,

Anyway here are my picks for today's game

Washington Mystic vs Connecticut Sun

This game is on Capital One Arena home of Washington Mystic, where they would have a game against the Connecticut Sun, and Mystic's key injury was Myisha Hines-Allen with a knee injury and is out and can not play for the Mystic, while Key's injury for the Sun is Lauren Cox that is questionable because of personal problems, on this game even though the Sun is not at home now but last game these two teams fought and Connecticut Suns win that game, so I am taking the Connecticut Sun,

Minnesota Lynx vs Atlanta Dream

This game is on Target Center home of the Minnesota Lynx, where they would have a game against Atlanta Dream, and Lynx's key injury is Lindsay Allen, that has a hamstring and can not play, and Natalie Achonwa that has personal issues and can not play for the Lynx while Dreams'Danielle Robinson has a knee injury and is out and will not play, Monique Billings has an ankle injury and is questionable if he's going to find, and Iliana Rupert is out because of suspension, I really think that the Lynx could win this so my pick is the Minnesota Lynx,

Nice catch.
I lost that bet as I took the Phoenix Mercury instead of Chicago Sky. But I did win my bet for the Connecticut Sun against the Mystics. I should've also taken the risk of -15.5 for the New York Liberty but I didn't trust them as they won by 17 points against the Indiana Fever.
Breanna Stewart with a double-double at 45 monster points and 12 rebounds. That was something to watch again as she did half the score of the Liberty and a great debut at their home.  

Just two games tomorrow.
Here are my picks.
Washington Mystics versus Connecticut Sun‍ - Connecticut Sun ML @2.50
Even though they won yesterday, they are the underdogs because now it will be played in Washington. Homecourt advantage.
Minnesota Lynx versus Atlanta Dream‍ - Minnesota Lynx ML @1.69
Both teams have not won a game yet so I bet they will be hungry. I don't want to add any handicaps as it might end up as a close game.

Good luck guys.
Oh, and thanks for the update @YuginKadoya.

Bookies sometimes are bonkers and last time Connecticut Sun won but right now even though the Washington Mystics will play at home for me even though the odds are not with the Sun, it is favorable for me because when I bet for the Connecticut Sun that means it is profitable for me,

---

My picks for Tomorrow's game are

Washington Mystics VS Connecticut Sun

The stake odds for this game are 1.50 for the Mystics and 2.42 for the Sun, Myisha Hines-Allen is out because of a Knee injury while Lauren Cox is questionable if she's going to play because of a personal problem, The Connecticut Sun won yesterday's game against the Washington Mystics, the Mystics have a good start and Elena Delle Donne and Shakira Austin has a double-double but it was not enough because the Sun has a good spread, DeWanna Bonner had a great supports and she got 21 points winning the 1st game I really think that the Connecticut Sun can still manage in winning this, so my pick is the Connecticut Sun

Minnesota Lynx VS Atlanta Dream

The stake odds for this game are 1.68 for the Lynx and 2.06 for the Dream, Lindsay Allen has a hamstring and Natalie Achonwa has a personal problem and can not play for the Lynx while Danielle Robinson has a knee, Monique Billings has an ankle, and Iliana Rupert is out suspended and can not play for the Dream, for me there are no new players for the Dream I got the feeling that the home advantage Lynx can win this so my pick is the Minnesota Lynx,

I thought my bet will be in trouble when Chicago started to get in foul trouble and Phoenix are starting to hit their shots, but luckily, they were able to maintain their lead. Even the tough defense of Griner failed to deny the team effort of Evans, Copper, and Williams.

Brittney Griner showed a great game with 27 points and 10 rebounds. After her experience in Russia, I am glad that she was still able to find his footing and do great in WNBA. I hope she continues to do so. They lose the game but it was a good game for her.


The bookies disagree with you. They favor the Mystics to win this match. It was a close game when they last played so maybe the bookies are taking into account that the Mystics have the home-court advantage. That plays a lot in the morale of the team. Since they have a close game against the Suns, maybe this time they can turn it around and win it in their home. I will be betting on Washington but I will place it later. Maybe there will be better odds later.

Yup! Kahleah Copper has the support of his team Dana Evans, Courtney Williams, and Elizabeth Williams did a great job in getting their point to dual digit, While Brittney Griner in her return back has shown great spirit in her performance, but it was not enough the Chicago Sky surely have a decent spread, but I think Griner's long hiatus seems to have some effect on her chemistry with the team and I think they need to get it back again next match for the Phoenix Mercury is against the Minnesota Lynx for me I think this is an easy win for them,

---

We don't have any games tomorrow next game will be the other day May 24, it will be Washington Mystic VS Connecticut Sun this is going to be a lit game for sure but for me, Connecticut Sun has some edge with this game, next is the Minnesota Lynx VS Atlanta Dream, this is the real close match and for this game, I think I will check the injuries 1st before getting a conclusion on who's going to win,

Great timing/catch for your pick as the Chicago Sky maintains that lead and wins the game,

Copper got a good support from her squad as even he was limited to 15 points after the game they manage to win and sustain the
2-0 early start of the season.

A rematch between Mystic and Sun on Wednesday, a close match earlier, might be good to analyze if Mystic can bounce back
and win here or the Sun will continue to dominate them.

The Phoenix Mercury surely can not attain a close game without Brittney "Russian" Griner she got a double-double of 10 rebounds and 27 points for this game, but surely Chicago Sky has a great spread in winning this game, I think Chicago Sky has a more dynamic team play but the mercury got the heroin puffing Griner on their side closing that gap needed but it was not enough

---

Result of my picks for this game

Connecticut Sun VS Washington Mystics SCORE 80 - 74 - WIN

It was a close game the Washington Mystics have a decent spread but it was not enough because the Connecticut Sun got a decent defense and also got enough spread for the team to win, Alyssa Thomas has a double-double of 16 rebounds and 14 points, Brionna Jones 10 rebounds and 15 points, DeWanna Bonner 21 points,

New York Liberty VS Indiana Fever SCORE 90 - 73 - WIN

all I can say is Breanna Stewart was a monster even though the Indiana Fever got a great spread the New York Liberty got Stewart that was really amazing and the season is just starting, but she was really hyper with her score, in this game Courtney Vandersloot got 11 points, Jonquel Jones has 14 points, and Breanna Stewart has a double-double of 12 rebounds and 45 points,

Phoenix Mercury VS Chicago Sky SCORE 69 - 75  - WIN

In this game, I already explain how Mercury has gotten so close to a score with the Sky it is because of Griner that got 27 points for her team and 10 rebounds but surely the spread from the Chicago Sky was really too great that the efforts of Brittney Griner weren't enough,
