It was late listed but it is alright, I think there are not many people that are really interested in WNBA, but I was still enjoying the games and likely Liberty now have a big 1st win against the Chicago Sky, and we all know the Chicago Sky is a pretty much a formidable team, with Candace Parker making a great play, and even though the Chicago Sky was dominating the game with a lead on the 3rd quarter the Liberty has found a way in suppressing those lead and making their own lead in the 4th quarter that led them to win the game,

While the Las Vegas Aces have led the Phoenix Mercury to their loss, the Aces defense is a formidable thing that has stopped the Mercury in making a lead, pretty much it was a dominant game for the Aces,

For tomorrow's game, I will just be giving my picks

Connecticut Sun (1.18) VS Dallas Wings (4.30) I will try my luck on Dallas Wings for 4.30 stake odds, I think it is a good risk,

Seattle Storm (1.53) VS Washington Mystics (2.35) my pick will be Seattle Storm for 1.53 stake odds,

The bets I took were outrights, maybe you are looking for the game for tomorrow and it's not listed yet at the time I posted my bet for outrights. 
But now the 2 games for tomorrow are available. You can check again.

Game 1
Chicago Sky vs New York Liberty (GMT+8 8:00 AM)
Las Vegas Aces vs Phoenix Mercury (GMT+8 10:00 AM)

I don't like the odds given for the Aces. So maybe betting for Mercury will be better with +14.5.
Sky at -7.5 though seems fair and within reach.

It will be a new playing field for the upcoming WNBA playoffs, and I am really excited about it, well teams now will be very serious not like in the regular games this is the real deal now and there is no turning back, there will be a team that may dominate the other team,

Well I think you got a good choice there and it can be a safe bet but right now I don't see any bet on the stake which is weird, but will be back to give my pick and what I think will happen with the game,

Brittney Griner news her Lawyer appealed on the 9 years sentence on her or her verdict, and right now they are still waiting for the prison swap talks and still waiting for it to be official, for me they should just stop this and let it be and in an investigation, I think the Russian government has a correct investigation about the case that Griner has a fault, but the US government is still pushing that the Russian government are having their political agenda on the matter, but I think it is just OK 9-year sentence in jail time isn't bad and she needs to suffer the consequence,

Same expectations.
Defense on a higher level and maybe some plays that will be better.
Although they had been playing like it was always playoffs time during the season since it's a short span, this might be better entertainment as every game will be a clinching one.

Got my outrights all ready for my 2 favorite teams and I wish it will hit.

Thinking about making a long parlay too. Try my luck.  
Edit: Same event parlay is not allowed. 

Results on my picks yesterday, quite busy and didn't expect the results,

Connecticut Sun VS Minnesota Lynx SCORE 90 - 83 - LOST

New York Liberty VS Atlanta Dream SCORE 87 - 83 - WIN

Las Vegas Aces VS Seattle Storm SCORE 109 - 100 - LOST

Phoenix Mercury VS Chicago Sky SCORE 67 - 82 - WIN

A loss and a gain surely it was a great game actually but yeah the Lynx have lost and are now down to the drain, but we are now going to the WNBA playoffs,


This is it I am really excited about what kind of game we can see, actually, I am expecting a different kind of game because this is the playoffs after all, even though there are only 8 teams that did make it to the playoffs, it seems hard to predict who's going to win first, and this is a game where the best of the best teams will compete, for now I think I will stay away with betting and will just try to access the situations and look for the first game and see a decision to it,

Lynx loss and Dream loss. They pretty much avoided a lot of tiebreakers and also dodged computing how many wins a team made against the tied one. 
Only two pairs with both 22 and 26 wins were checked. Mystics and Storm (22). But it still doesn't matter because they are the 4th and 5th seed and up against each other in the playoffs. Aces and Sky (26). Aces got the number 1 seed.
https://www.wnba.com/playoffs/2022/
1st two games will be on August 17.
New York Liberty vs Chicago Sky

Phoenix Mercury vs Las Vegas Aces

Pretty much the Atlanta Dream and the Minnesota Lynx need to push to the limits if they would want to be included in the playoffs and it is also a big question for me if both teams won or lost the game, what happens now? do they need a match tie break between the two teams that tied we just need to wait and see, but anyways I am giving my picks for the upcoming game, pretty much this will be hard to predict,

Connecticut Sun VS Minnesota Lynx

Stake odds for this game are 1.28 Sun, while 3.35 for the Lynx, knowing that they are still on a flinch the Lynx will do their best in winning this while the Sun is in the respectful standing and might just give the game to the Lynx, but it will surely depend on what the Sun wants, right now both Bria Hartley and Jasmine Thomas are out for the season, while Damiris Dantas is out for the Lynx, but I may risk this and bet for the Lynx for me the Connecticut Sun don't want to injure their key players in the upcoming playoffs now that they are safe,

New York Liberty VS Atlanta Dream

Stake odds for this game are 1.62 for the Liberty while 2.16 for the Dream, in this game like the Minnesota Lynx they surely needed to win the game but I think the New York Liberty will not let the Phoenix Mercury take them over, so I think this is a crucial game for the Atlanta Dream, this could be a hard game for them, and so I think the New York Liberty will win this,

Las Vegas Aces VS Seattle Storm

Stake odds for this game are 1.37 for the Aces while 2.85 for the Storm, the Aces can surely take relax for this game because they are in the 2nd spot for the safe teams on the payoffs, and Seattle Storm will sure want to gain more points for the standings, but for me, I would risk a bet for the Seattle Storm, for the Aces might take this easy,

Phoenix Mercury VS Chicago Sky

Stake odds for this game are 2.95 for Mercury while 1.35 for the Sky, just like the Aces the Sky is pretty much safe in their spot and just be waiting for the playoffs, and I think they will not risk the injury of their players for this last game, so I think they will reserve their best players for this game, so I would risk this bet for the Mercury,

The last games of the season are on August 15 before they go to the playoffs.
There are some questions that are bothering me and it's regarding a possible tiebreaker. Thankfully, CBS posted an article to answer it.

https://www.cbssports.com/wnba/news/wnba-playoff-picture-standings-tiebreakers-explained-four-way-tie-for-seventh-place-causing-chaos/
The standings posted in this article are a bit late because today's game results were not added yet.
1. Sky 25-10
2. Aces 25-10
3. Sun 24-11
4. Storm 22-13
5. Mystics 21-14
6. Wings 17-18
7. Liberty 15-20
8. Mercury 15-20
9. Dream 14-21
10. Lynx 14-21

6 are safe Sky to Wings and 2 are out. The other four will battle for the 7th and 8th seed.

It was really a close game, on the 3rd quarter I thought that the Phoenix Mercury will win this, and Sophie Cunningham is right now very effective in the game, with those amazing threes, but in other cases, she is not consistent at times, but this time against the Minnesota Lynx she is very versatile on the floor, and because Skylar Diggins-Smith and Diana Taurasi can not play for that game, they surely need to rely on Cunningham to win,

---

And Update about the Brittney Griner case, the negotiation of the United State of America for the prison swap for Griner and Paul is still underway because the U.S. Government believes that there is an unlawful and might be part of a political pawn and the Russian government is using Brittney Griner,

But some Americans don't want Brittney Griner on U.S. soil anymore, if she has made some mistakes she better take the consequence, well, there are half opinion that Griner should be in jail when the swap continues, and there are some that never believe Russian on Grimer's case,

Too many second-shot opportunities given by the Mercury to the Lynx. Rebounding problem.
There did great until the 3rd quarter when the 6 3-point made by the hot hands of Cunningham became contagious as almost every Mercury is sinking in their threes.
Even Megan Gustafson made 1 of them while the shot clock was winding down.
Speaking of Gustafson, love the energy, she just made her career high of 15 points, she really did great contributing to their inside scoring.

Loss, but entertaining game.

Yup! they are really safe for the coming finals and even though the Connecticut Sun had made 25 wins I think they can still have the upper standing. It doesn't matter if they are in the 2nd spot of the standings because they are still in the finals no matter what, well I haven't made a bet on today's game it seems that the result will not become consistent because of the upcoming finals, do the WNBA Have all-star play-offs aswell? or it is for the regular NBA only? and right now the Las Vegas Aces have defeated the Chicago Sky with 89 - 78 points, I think the Sky should take this easy for the Finals,

---

And now this is an opportunity to take my pick for tomorrow's game,

Atlanta Dream VS New York Liberty

Stake odds for this game are 2.01 for Dream while 1.72 for Liberty, and right now Tiffany Hayes, Kristy Wallace, Nia Coffey, Asia Durr, and Monique Billings can not play for this game, having Nia Coffey, and Asia Durr, out for this season, while the Liberty has fully healthy players, for this I think because of the injury of the key player on the Atlanta Dream it is likely that Atlanta Dream will win this,

Minnesota Lynx VS Seattle Storm

Stake odds for this game are 1.92 for the Lynx while 1.79 for the Storm, for the Lynx Damiris Dantas can not play for this game, while Mercedes Russell is out for this season, I think on their recent games Seattle Storm is pretty much is winning on all of their games against the Minnesota Lynx, so I will be going with Seattle Storm,

Phoenix Mercury VS Dallas Wings

Stake odds for this game are 1.91 for Mercury while 1.80 for the Wings, for the Mercury they got Kia Nurse, Brittney Griner, (Serving jail time in Russia) Skylar Diggins-Smith, and Diana Taurasi can not play for the Mercury, while the Dallas Wings has Satou Sabally and Arike Ogunbowale that can not play for tomorrow, for this game I think it is a sure win for the Dallas Wings, Diana Taurasi, and Skylar Diggins-Smith this time can not play for the Mercury, so I will be going with the Dallas Wings,

It's true. Chicago Sky had been dominant in every game but I guess because they are safe for the playoffs with 2 games remaining is the reason why they should take some rest for their superstars. Also to avoid injuries that will lower their possibilities for a championship.
Anyway, 2 games today.
Wings vs Liberty - halftime
Mercury vs Lynx - later

Phoenix Mercury will badly need a win to secure a spot in the playoffs but the same with Lynx trying to snatch a position.
I'll take the underdogs. Mercury +3.5

Well, the game for the Chicago Sky against the Seattle Storm can really go a different route than what I am expecting but I just don't want to risk not taking the Chicago Sky side, on this one, but that is one  juicy odds if I have flip side for the storm,

but anyway moving on with the result for my pick and bet

Chicago Sky VS Seattle Storm SCORE 100 - 111 - LOST

Gabby Williams is racking up some points here and is firing up as we have never seen her before doing something like this, because she is not usually doing this at all, and she is not consistent at all, there are plays that she is doing her usual, but this time she is different, in this game, well I think that has taken the Chicago Sky by surprise, and congrats to people that bet for Seattle Storm,


L.A. Sparks VS Connecticut Sun SCORE 71 - 97 - WIN

Connecticut Sun was that dominant from start to finish, but pretty much the L.A. Sparks also did their all with Nneka Ogwumike, Brittney Sykes, and Jordin Canada have done their best but it is not enough because of the amazing performance of Jonquel Jone's double-double score of 10 rebounds and 21 points, and pretty much all players have given their share of points for the team,

1/2.

The Storm made a storm in the Sky's home court. The lead got close to single digits (7 if I remember correctly) but it was not enough as the Storm are hot on the 3 point line. They didn't let them get back as it will be a big trouble if they do so. High scoring game which is rare. Those who bet for "over" are winners today.

Connecticut Sun on the other hand did not let me down defeating the LA Sparks in a blownout game.

Great picks will be putting my pick and what I think may happen with the games and I also got 2, and highlighted in green are my picks

Chicago Sky VS Seattle Storm

Stake odds for this game are 1.47 for Sky while 2.50 for Storm, Li Yueru has Illness and can not play against the Seattle Storm, while Mercedes Russell is out for this Season for the Seattle Storm, I think if Ezi Magbegor could explode again this could be a win for the Storm, but if Breanna Stewart and Jewell Loyd are the only ones that pretty much have momentum the Chicago Sky could take up the win because in this match Sky has a lot of option in winning this so it is a safe place to bet, so I will be going with Chicago Sky,

L.A. Sparks VS Connecticut Sun

Stake odds for this game are 3.70 for the Sparks while 1.24 for the Sun, right now Kristi Toliver, Chiney Ogwumike, and Rae Burrell can not play for the Sparks, while Bria Hartley and Jasmine Thomas are out for this season, but pretty much in their last match back on May 15 the Connecticut Sun have won I think this match will likely be the same, with that many of an injury for the L.A. Sparks that would be a huge window of opportunity for the Sun,

It's fun when you see ladies making their special moves. I got hooked on this game when I was young and waiting for the NBA to start and then I stopped.
Luckily, I still remember a lot of players but they are veterans now. 
The playoff is near, 3 games are left for each team and on August 17 it will be a battle on a higher level.

And they will be using a new format.
https://sports.yahoo.com/2022-wnba-playoffs-qualified-teams-192219742.html

3 games for later but I will be betting for 2.
Chicago Sky vs Seattle Storm - Sky -4.5
L.A. Sparks vs Connecticut Sun - Sun -7.5

Well, we can not really compare the excitement and action with the regular NBA but it is worth trying, I know the action may not be as good as when Stephen Curry made an incredible run and gun to the ring or a cross-over to another player, but it is a worth to try and watch and regarding those 4 notable teams that you have mention mainly they are the pinnacle of success for the WNBA that is why there are people still watching this game, and apparently there are women that want to be in sports like these, so giving them the opportunity to play in this kind of league will surely help them aswell,

for me as an audience I am used to those slow pace kinds of games because that is the type of thing growing and watching the Phillippine basketball or PBA here in my country, and yes entering the NBA league is a dream for a fully breed Pinoy like Kai Sotto, well the WNBA has the same vibes like our local PBA, so I am used to it, and surely now that there are no NBA at the moment it is a good thing that I get to bet on a basketball league that surely available at the moment,

Result for today's game in the WNBA

Dallas Wings VS New York Liberty SCORE 86 - 77 - WIN

In actuality, the New York Liberty can not keep their pace, but they have made a lead in the 3rd quarter only until the Dallas Wings gain momentum in destroying them in the 4th quarter, Sabrina Ionescu has erupted 32 points, but it is still not enough because the Dallas wings have Allisha Gray with 18 points and Marina Mabrey with 31 points gaining a win over New York Liberty,

Although I rarely watch the 2022 WNBA Season, but I see many gambling sites that make bets for the WNBA basketball team, there are several Live Streaming tournaments that I see, from some of the match data that I saw, it seems that there are four teams that are the most talked about and the best in the WNBA 2022 tournament, such as the Chicago Sky, Connecticut Suns, Seattle Storm, Las Vegas Aces.

Maybe, if the 2022 WNBA tournament is fun and worth betting on, maybe I will consider it later and I will follow further developments, especially for the 4 WNBA teams I mentioned above.

It was a 1st quarter mess for the Connecticut Sun, and Candace Parker take the 1st point with a 3-point shot, as we can see both Parker and Vandersloot have made a tremendous lead in the 1st quarter for the Chicago Sky, While the Connecticut Sun is slicing slowly the lead of the Chicago Sky because after the 1st quarter the Connecticut Sun has flipped the table and they are now cutting the Sky's lead in the 2nd quarter, well it was really a close game but the Connecticut Sun didn't make any lead but still, they have kept the score into a low minimum,

---

Now, that game has settled this is my pick for tomorrow's game,

Dallas Wings VS New York Liberty

Stake odds for this game are 1.53 for the Wings while 2.35 for the Liberty, Right now injuries for Dallas Wings are Arike Ogunbowale and Satou Sabally, who is out indefinitely and has an Ankle Injury, while Liberty has  Natasha Howard, that has an ankle injury and Betnijah Laney that has a Knee injury, definitely, Ogunbowale is a great asset for the Wings, but both Howard and Laney are key players for the Liberty, but the Wings still have Isabelle Harrison, Marina Mabrey, and if Allisha Gray can further explode his game then Wings still have their chance while the Liberty only has Sabrina Ionescu, and Han Xu if they stop the Wings from gaining a score, for me I will be going with the Dallas Wings,

Yes. It was like a war, almost like a playoff game.
I didn't take a bet on this one as it's one of the unpredictable moments. And just like I expected it was not going to be easy for the Sun to win it against the Sky.

1st quarter was a big mess, too many turnovers from the Sun while the Sky took advantage of it.
2nd quarter was almost the same, the lead was not cut that much. But the 3rd quarter though, that's when it all began. Sun crawled back to tie the game and even better, took the lead. They went back and forth just like their last meet and ended with a 3-point miss. Dejavu.
Sky won.
