WOW! congrats on your win I haven't gotten any bets yet because I was busy with something but luckily you guys are still posting in the WNBA thread, in my absence, well I haven't seen the good match with the Chicago Sky VS Connecticut Sun I think it is a war and a close match to that will be watching the highlights and maybe I could post my picks later,

Update to the Brittney Griner Elon Musk has given his opinion on the case of Brittney Griner he is questioning Joe Biden why he pushed something like this and did not give care to people that have the same case on their own soil if the president is pushing someone that has sentence for some weed in Russia to be free, he then added that we should also free people with the same sentence here in America,

But maybe because of the case he commits on Russian Soil, she should also serve jail time when she gets back to the U.S. when the following swap would be successful, I also think that Brittney Griner should also be serving jail time when she gets back because she had committed some offense, with Illegal drugs,

I have no doubts about Chicago Sky.

It was also the addition of Candace Parker that made it possible. 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists.
But the star of the night was Kahleah Copper who lead their offense with 19 points and 5 rebounds.
I was thinking about that bet of Over 156+, I should've taken it. My clue was Mystics was always going over 80 or just less by 5. Could've been a better win. It's nice to see Parker back in the field.

Both sides will balance and check the demands and I'm sure if in terms of national security the US pres. Biden will

need to discuss this matter with his National council. Russia's demands are something that might affect the security, just like
with how you interpret things, it will be depends on how both sides will sit and discuss every possibility they need
to meet half-way for the negotiations to pursue.

I forgot to bet for the Connecticut Sun, that could've been a win again. They finished the game against Mercury with a 13-point lead.
Missed opportunity.
2 games for later.
Dream versus Sparks
Sky versus Mystics

Washington Mystics are not a bad team but I don't think they can win against the Chicago Sky. -6.5 should be enough and I am hopeful they can cover it.
Good luck.

If Biden gets a touch of it and really pursuing the exchange so that Griner will be released, he can expedite all of these transactions and have it as soon as possible.

Well, we shall the demand for each other and for sure there will like balling from both sides. But if the agreement won't go further and they're like demanding each other and they're not meeting at the middle, that's why I think it will not happen.

It has been said that there will be prisoner exchange, the Russian Arms dealer Viktor Bout.
In exchange for Griner and Whelan. Russia is also requesting another former colonel from the country's domestic spy agency.

If both sides will agree fast with this exchange, Griner can go home soon.
But sometimes, it is the officials that are in charge here will lengthen the possibility of this situation happening.

Brittney Griner has been judged into a 9-year prison in Russia.

WNBA star Brittney Griner sentenced to nine years in prison by Russian court

She said that what she did was an "honest mistake". The administration of Biden said and quoted on the article that they are still going to work for her release but is that even possible and will be allowed by the Russia government?

With the tension they've got right now, I don't think it will happen.

It was just 1 win for me as well, but still congrats to our 1 win game, pretty much I am still getting the hang of it and after watching the Connecticut Sun's performance they surely have chemistry but they are still not perfect but what team is perfect, and I guess their losses was pretty much always close from winning so it was never that bad, they are also 2nd in the Eastern Conference, so they surely have a chance, but right now this is the result on my game today

New York Liberty VS L.A. Sparks SCORE 102 - 73 - WIN

The Sparks likely don't really stand a chance they have Nneka Ogwumike that only got 15 points, and Brittney Sykes that has the lead score of 19, while the Liberty was really on the lead to victory with Natasha Howard's double-double performance of 11 Rebounds and 24 points and Sabrina Lonescu got the lead score of 31 points, pretty much the New York Liberty dominates the 1st half until the end of the game,

Washington Mystics VS Las Vegas Aces SCORE 83 - 73 - LOST

I really thought that the Las Vegas Aces would win this they pretty much dominate the 1st half of the game A'ja Wilson got a double-double performance of 12 rebounds and 22 points while Chelsea Gray got 20 points, but it was not enough of the combined score of the Washington Mystics, Natasha Cloud, with 16 points, Shakira Austin with 15 points, and Ariel Atkins has 13 points, it was utterly upset for the Aces,

Chicago Sky VS Dallas Wings SCORE 78 - 84 - LOST

Another upset, Kahleah Copper really did a tremendous job just like I have predicted but it was not enough Candace Parker did play but I think he is not recovered enough, pretty much Teaira McCowan has made a double-double performance of 12 rebounds and 20 points, while Marina Mabrey has 26 points leading the Dallas Wings to victory,

Unlucky.

I watched only the Connecticut Sun game and I am still on high energy with what they had done. I am starting to be a fan of that team as I see good chemistry, high-level defense, and mostly offense that came from the painted area, that's rare. (maybe for an NBA fan) 
Alyssa Thomas led in rebounds and assists because of the nonstop cuts that she mostly sees coming.
Heideman got hot. 4/6 outside shots.
Their next game is on August 5 against Mercury again.

Yup! they will have 4 games today, and right now your choices are impressive and as of now Candace Parker is still questionable, my recent pick for the Chicago Sky was very juicy indeed because they are at the disadvantage side of the odds, but right now they are in a slight advantage, still a reasonable profit so I will take it as well, right now my picks for Today's games, I will be going with the favorites,

New York Liberty VS L.A. Sparks - Stake Odds are (1.42) - (2.80)

Washington Mystics VS Las Vegas Aces - Stake Odds are (2.25) - (1.63)

Chicago Sky VS Dallas Wings - Stake Odds are (1.21) - (3.95)

And Update News About Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan right now the Russian Government wants to add the spy agent and wanted Murderer Vadim Krasikov to the prison swap along with Viktor Bout, and the problem is Vadim Krasikov was not on US soil but rather on Germany custody, but the US government didn't view this as a legitimate offer, because it was Broadcast through the FSB backchannel so it is informal, so it was not elevated to the German government, CNN reported this, and no further updated  

^ 4 games. Nice.
I think I'd just go for two.
Connecticut Sun impressed me a lot in that game against the Sky so I will bet for them at -9.5 vs Mercury. They might be able to cover that given how hard they will fight for a win even at the darkest time when their opponent was at a big lead.
The other one is for the Chicago Sky -7.5.
Candace Parker is still at questionable status but I think they can manage a win and cover.

Yup! even without Candace Parker, Chicago Sky still got it done, but it was really a close game, and Kahleah Copper really has risen up to the occasion and kept the Chicago Sky afloat, getting into the OT has given the Connecticut Sun a chance to recover the win but the Chicago Sky really is uptight with their lead, DeWanna Bonner got 23 points and leading the team for the Connecticut Sun, Alyssa Thomas with 22 points, Courtney Williams 16 points, and Brionna Jones 13 pretty much even though they lose, the Connecticut Sun do their best in giving a great game today, while the Chicago Sky players Courtney Vandersloot has double-double performance of 12 Assist and 16 points, Azura Stevens also has a double-double performance of 10 rebounds and 12 points while Kahleah Cooper has 27 points, as expected from the leading team of the Eastern Conference,

Right now the WNBA is having its 1-day break and the game will continue on August 3 with games Connecticut Sun against Phoenix Mercury, Washington Mystics Against Las Vegas Aces, New York Liberty Against Los Angeles Sparks, and Chicago Sky Agaisnt Dallas Wings,

What a game by the Connecticut Sun versus the Chicago Sky.
I thought the Sky will go away in the first half after taking the lead by almost 20 but the Sun kept their composure and fought back before the end of the first half up until the end of the game.
Wild game went to overtime and almost for the second overtime if that last 3-pointer went in.
Williams is hot for the Sun feeding the team with assists and doing some damage on the offensive end.
Sky still won even without Candace.

Yup! pretty much I will inform everyone about the update on this matter, but in the meantime, there is no disclosure about the arguments and those talks should be in close doors, and when an agreement was made that will be the time the public will know, so there is no Agreement finalized so far, so we need to wait for further news,


What do you expect, we can not compare NBA to WNBA, well this is why the NBA season and the WNBA season are not being held at the same, time there will be people that may compare some skills and movement, and all I think we can not compare the two NBA are for men and WNBA is for woman, they can not be on equal footing, you can not expect a WNBA player to be on the League for the boy's basketball because that will never be considered, and I think there are girls or woman that has dreams and wants to play Basketball and be a professional on a league, I think this is just the opportunity for them, and you can not say specific sports for woman, and just saying they should play another sport because they are a disgrace when they play basketball I think that is just racist thinking, we are not in the medieval era anymore, in my opinion, woman are equal to Men and they have the rights to do whatever they want, and play whatever sports they want,

Well, it is good that there are many in the forum that has some interest in the WNBA, because I do, and right now here are the results of my picks today,

Connecticut Sun VS Chicago Sky SCORE 92 - 95 - WIN

It is good to still bet for the Chicago Sky despite the huge odds for the Sun, and even without Candace Parker, Kahleah Copper did a great job in staying in the lead and gaining the momentum in the 4th quarter, pretty much thanks to Azura Stevens for those rebounds, pretty much Connecticut Sun is pretty much tough, and the game was close as the odds for Connecticut Sun are surely higher,

New York Liberty VS Phoenix Mercury SCORE 89 - 69 - LOST

It was a close match in the 1st half of the game, and when the 4th quarter begins it is a different story for the Mercury, and couldn't make a comeback, well as expected Sophie Cuningham and Diana Taurasi did well but they didn't explode as what I have said, and the Liberty had made their score spread to every player and Natasha Howard was on the lead, a lost but it was an OK game for me,

Washington Mystics VS Seattle Storm SCORE 78 - 75 - LOST

This will be the 1st game win of the Washington Mystics against the Seattle Storm, I think it was a close match in the 1st half but the Mystics take an incredible lead in the 3rd quarter of the game and that has made the Seattle Storm pretty much made a hard comeback,

L.A. Sparks VS Minnesota Lynx SCORE 77 - 84 - WIN

Minnesota Lynx from start to finish made a great lead which is why the 4th quarter is pretty much hard to take for the L.A. Sparks, pretty Moriah Jefferson has made a great play with Jessica Shepard's great rebound and defense that their lead is not bothered, while Sparks have struggled in getting a comeback,

Obviously, their games are just nothing compared to the actual NBA where you see real actions and skills. In the WNBA the game is simple, shoot threes rare dunks, and no signature cross-over that could turn the table of their revenue. I rather watch street basketball where I will have real fun rather than watch these girls playing hoops, I think they are better when they have their own specific sports for women rather than imitating men's games.

Well, seems good news for her and for the US government. Many are following this news but for the meantime, let's go back with WNBAs action and there are too many to discuss on this league aside from news related to Brittney.
I'll make myself comfortable on this league as there's not that much attention before but now, it's gaining that attention from those people in the forum that are not into it before.

I will keep you all updated about what will happen to Brittney Griner in the previous news the Russian Foreign Minister is ready to Discuss with the US Government and furthermore there is no other news about it,

And right now here are my picks for tomorrow's game highlighted in green are my picks

Connecticut Sun VS Chicago Sky

Stake odds for this game are 1.41 for Connecticut Sun while 2.70 for the Chicago Sky, Right now Bria Hartley and Jasmine Thomas are out for this season because both have a knee injury, but for Chicago Sky, Candace Parker is a bigger loss to them and can not play against the Connecticut Sun, but they need Emma Meesseman to fired up again because in some game she is not very consistent, but I think I will risk with the Chicago Sky for this game that juicy odd is really tempting,

New York Liberty VS Phoenix Mercury

Stake odds for this game are 1.90 for the Liberty while 1.80 for the Mercury, for Liberty Michaela Onyenwere and Betnijah Laney can not play tomorrow while for the Mercury Diamond DeShields, and Kia Nurse still can not play for them, and Brittney Griner because of personal issue, because she is still on Russian prison, but for me, I may go with the Phoenix Mercury for this game, I think they can pull up a nice space for them to get a win if Sophie Cuningham and Diana Taurasi explode against the Liberty,

Washington Mystics VS Seattle Storm

Stake odds for this game are 1.64 for the Mystics while 2.12 for the Storm, right now Mystics don't have any injuries, while the Storm has Mercedes Russell out for the season, for this game I liked Seattle Storm's 2 recent victories against the Washington Mystics and I guess they can do it again, so my pick will be the Seattle Storm,

L.A. Sparks VS Minnesota Lynx

Stake odds for this game are 2.08 for the Sparks while 1.67 for the Lynx, right now for Sparks they got Lexie Brown that can not play for the game tomorrow, while Rae Burrell is out, and is unknown when she will be back and the Minnesota Lynx have Jessica Shepard that can not play tomorrow, while Damiris Dantas and Napheesa Collier is out and doesn't know when they may come back, for me, it is a juicy odds for the L.A. Sparks so I may risk this one and go with the Sparks, so my pick will be the L.A. Sparks,

Well, I am not going to bet for the Indiana Fever VS Las Vegas Aces because it is not profitable, and for me, Las Vegas Aces will win this game,

Just keep us updated through this thread if there are news and updates that you've seen about her and that issue. If WNBA decides to let her go and won't allow her to play anymore.
There's nothing she can do but let's all wait with all of those assumptions until the trade has come and she'll be freed.

You are right, about that certain thread doesn't really need a lot of users just to keep it going on, and I am really hesitant at 1st, but I don't really care if there will be users who would want to engage in discussion about the WNBA, but still, I think there would be and now after seeing you guys here in the thread, and like you, I like soccer, as well and having a thing for Bundesliga and right now the upcoming season excites me and I am really curious if the new season will definitely change in pace,

Well I am just giving picks on who I think will win, and giving some bets but I don't really like exposing how much I bet so I am not really providing any screenshots, but sometimes if I am really Passionate about the game I think I may, but yeah we can surely share our bet or what we think who would win regarding a game or two,

Honestly in my experience, I sometimes like that before. I mentioned here few pages back that I do placed several bets before on WNBA but I really don't have much idea about WNBA as a whole. I only refer to past games and not totally doing crazy bets without consulting my own analysis.

Even I don't have much knowledge, I do have a good winning stats of it and most of my best are averaging within 1.7 to @1.9 odds. I will try to remember what sports betting site I used and will share my record here in my WNBA betting. Not sure if it's Cloudbet or Directbet. If the former, there's a chance to dig the record but if for the latter, not possible to retrieve it.
