The game was already starting and I didn't want to bet on the Mystics VS Aces but I still did It was halftime during that game so here are my picks for the game today

Washington Mystics (4.95) VS Las Vegas Aces (1.14)

The game is now starting at the Entertainment & Sports Arena home for the Washington Mystics, right now Kristi Toliver has a foot injury and can not play for the Washington Mystics, Elena Delle Donne has a hip injury and Natasha Cloud has an Illness and both are questionable if they can play for the Washington Mystics while Candace Parker has an ankle injury and Riquna Williams is Suspended and both can not play for the Las Vegas Aces, for this game, we all know that the Las Vegas Aces is Dominant in the West they are 1st in the Western Conference so there is no doubt that the Las Vegas Aces will be winning this,



Minnesota Lynx (4.20) VS New York Liberty (1.22)

The game is now starting at the Target Center home for the Minnesota Lynx, right now Natalie Achonwa has a personal problem Lindsay Allen has a hand injury and both players can not play for the Minnesota Lynx while Marine Johannes has a foot injury and can not play for the New York Liberty, for this game we all know that the New York Liberty is dominant in the East and they are 1st place in the standing on the Eastern Conference, so there is no doubt that the New York Liberty will be winning this,

I was really late with this event there are FIBA and the UFC that I also missed but here are my bets and prediction for today's game for the WNBA


Minnesota Lynx VS New York Liberty

The stake odds for this game are 4.20 for the Minnesota Lynx and 1.22 for the New York Liberty, right now Natalie Achonwa and Lindsay Allen can not play for the Minnesota Lynx while Marine Johannes got a foot injury and was the only one not playing for the New York Liberty, for this game the Minnesota Lynx sometimes can surprise us with some of their wins where they are the underdog, but against the New York Liberty that was the 1st place in the standing for the eastern conference, this is a surely unbelievable thing for them to do, and many fans just like hearing that because of the dominant nature of the New York Liberty, and we can surely know that the Liberty is the only team who can go toe to tow with the Las Vegas Aces but for this game my pick will be the New York Liberty for sure,

I totally Missed all of the games for sure and I totally regret it but I was really busy at that time so what can I do moving forward here are my bets for only 1 game that will start in about 30 mins time upon posting this, so here are my bet for today's game

Minnesota Lynx vs. New York Liberty

The Minnesota Lynx is having their game against the New York Liberty, at Target Center, The key injuries for the Minnesota Lynx were Natalie Achonwa (personal) and Lindsay Allen (hand) and both can not play for the Minnesota Lynx, while the Key injury for New York Liberty was Marine Johannes (foot) she can not play for the New York Liberty for this game, right now the New York Liberty is a sure formidable opponent and against the Minnesota Lynx the fans surely know that the Liberty will prevail in this game because of their record and their injury right now for sure the New York Liberty will win this so my pick is the New York Liberty,

I was busy getting a ticket so I could watch the game live but I haven't because my leave was not granted, I still somehow managed to watch it online with the help of a friend sharing some online links, so I could watch it on the go, and I thought the Gilas Pilipinas have done a remarkable thing closing the game against the Dominican republic and because Karl-Anthony Towns is also an NBA player the team will be having a hard time against them and Jordan Clarkson just got fouled out in that crucial moment for me the rotation is badly needed for the team and this is the thing that the team lack I think Kai Sotto needs to play even though he already got 2 fouls Renz Obando got a limited time only, and the coach Chot Reyes is sorely lacking in taking the risk needed,

Now the result of my bet and prediction

Atlanta Dream VS Los Angeles Sparks SCORE 79 - 83 - LOST

For sure the Atlanta Dream could win this game but in the 2nd half the LA Sparks got an opportunity to turn the tables on them It was a great game that led to the Atlanta Dream losing this one, if they had a great start in the 1st half of the game, it was Cheyenne Parker that made 22 points for the team and Monique Billings double-double that have to keep the Atlanta Dream on the top but surely the Los Angeles Sparks have seen a way to turn the tables for this game getting Jordin Canada 15 points, Azura Stevens got 18 points and Nneka Ogwumike has a double-double of 12 rebounds and 29 points

I watched the FIBA games mostly the Dominican Republic VS Philippines It was an intensely close game for both teams it was really an intense game for the game was close until the 3rd quarter when Jordan Clarkson fouled out during the crucial moment when the Philippines on the lead and badly needed Jordan Clarkson, for sure I think Chot Reyes didn't make a great decision in my opinion although his players did well on this game for me the Coach didn't adjust to his team play,

---

The result for the WNBA game today
 
Atlanta Dream (2.00) VS Los Angeles Sparks (1.73) - LOST

It was a loss it was a good start for the Atlanta Dream in the 1st half of the game but the 2nd half was for the Los Angeles Sparks this win for the Sparks was possible because of Nneka Ogwumike with the support of Azura Stevens Layshia Clarendon, and Jordin Canada did a great game for this to be possible, for the Atlanta Dream Cheyenne Parker got 22 points, for the game to be close but yeah the Los Angeles Sparks have won this game and the Atlanta Dream lost it was really an agonizing lost,

Are you guys also watching the FIBA Basketball World Cup?  I guess that's also one reason that we are all busy and forgot about our WNBA games. Anyway, I think FIBA will end while the season of WNBA is still not over.
WNBA season will end on September 11 while September 10 for FIBA. So I guess we can just catch games that we can in WNBA while we are also watching FIBA.
Yes, it did. I really thought the Connecticut Sun will end it with a nice lead but damn the New York Liberty are just tailing them until they finally got so close that they almost win it if Sabrina Ionescu made that last free throw.

Anyway, I missed the one game today.
Tomorrow I have my picks already set.

Washington Mystics - Las Vegas Aces - Las Vegas Aces (-10.5)
Minnesota Lynx - New York Liberty - New York Liberty (-8.5)

Favorites with handicaps. I wish it will hit. Good luck to everyone.

What a luck for you, that error sends the game to OT and Liberty, manages to change the tempo and snatch the game against
the Suns, almost a win for the opposite team,

Tailing someone here might give you some hints or guide to base your pick and for sure time will come
that you will also share yours as the league also gains your interest once you start watching and analyzing
the games.

Another missed game for me and this time it was 4 games it was a long story and super busy with things, but here I am getting 1 game again,

Here are my bets for today's game for the WNBA

Atlanta Dream (2.00) VS Los Angeles Sparks (1.73)

The game will commence at  Gateway Center Arena home of the Atlanta Dream, For this game Nia Coffey has a hand injury and is out for this season and Allisha Gray has an Ankle injury and is questionable if she is going to play for this game, while Katie Lou Samuelson has a personal Problem and is out for this season and Nia Clouden has a knee injury, Lexie Brown has an illness, and Chiney Ogwumike has a foot injury and can not play for the Los Angeles Sparks for this game even though the Los Angeles Sparks is the favorite to win this game the Atlanta Dream got 2 1st win against the Los Angeles Sparks for sure this will be a revenge win game for the Atlanta Dream, so my pick is the Atlanta Dream,

Dang! I missed all 4 games because I fell asleep early yesterday I totally missed all of the games today for sure that Connecticut Sun VS New York Liberty was a real banger of the fight and I will surely lose that game because I am going with the Connecticut Sun, Surely DeWanna Bonner did a great job in getting 30 points for this game but it wasn't enough because the New York Liberty had a great spread for this game,

---

So here is my bet and prediction for the game today,

Atlanta Dream VS Los Angeles Sparks

The stake odds for this game are 2.00 for the Dream and 1.73 for the Sparks, right now Nia Coffey is out for this season Allisha Gray is doubtful if she can play for this game while Katie Lou Samuelson is out for this season, and Nia Clouden, Lexie Brown, and Chiney Ogwumike can not play for the Los Angeles Sparks, for this game Last game for this two teams was a close one, but surely it was a win for the Los Angeles Sparks, while the recent 2 games was a win for the Atlanta Dream, for this game the Los Angeles Sparks is the favorite to win but for me I think this will be the other way around, if Rhyne Howard will let lose on this game and fired up this is a win for the Dream so my pick is the Atlanta Dream,

That game got intense in the dying seconds in the regulation and just as i thought that i would lose my bet but thanks to that crucial error by the Sun and a foul by Rebecca Allen that sent the Liberty in the free throw that sent the game into overtime and save my day hehe. Not much knowledge in the WNBA but just tailing some of your bets here.

And just as I thought one of the competitive games will be the Connecticut Sun against the New York Liberty.
The Sun started pretty well and even tried to go far in the 2nd quarter against the Liberty with a 14-point lead. 3rd quarter is where the Liberty is starting to heat things up but it's not yet enough to get close to the lead that was protected by the Sun.
4the quarter is where the fun began. DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas are not letting the Liberty get close by a single digit but Sabrina Ionescu kept on attacking and then some free throws got Liberty back in the game for overtime.
And that's when the trio of Liberty, Stewy, Jones, and Ionescu summoned all their strength to win the game. That was one of the most intense games that I have seen in this season. Both teams are not giving up and they both want to win badly.

Connecticut Sun
Thomas - 22 points and 12 assists
Bonner - 30 monster points and 12 rebounds

New York Liberty
Jones - 21 points and 14 rebounds
Stewart - 24 points and 12 rebounds
Ionescu - 18 points, 4 assists, and 4 rebounds

For sure we have gotten a good winning with the Los Angeles Sparks and congrats to all that have taken the same bet for sure it is one dominant game for them, while we are having 4 games today I am readying my bets for today's game, and getting a quick review on who to make a bet on next game,

This is what happened to my picks yesterday

Los Angeles Sparks vs Phoenix Mercury - WIN

On the score of 91 - 62, the LA Sparks dominated this game for sure Jordin Canada and Nneka Ogwumike did a great thing with the team's gameplay
For getting the most assists in this game they dominated the 1st quarter with 30 points for sure The LA Sparks have done their thing pretty much but the Phoenix Mercury has proven that without Griner their defenses were crumbled for sure and they likely having a hard time with this game for sure, Jordin Canada got 0 rebounds 7 assist and 11 points Zia Cooke got 1 rebound 1 assist and 11 points, Karlie Samuelson got 2 rebounds 0 assist and 15 points and leading the game score Azura Stevens with 9 rebounds 3 assist and 20 points,

For sure Jordin Canada needs to improve herself if not get her team with points she needs to excel in a different way, and she is 2018 drafted so sure she needs this kind of improvement so she can have her worth with the team, and for them to win and stopping the Phoenix Mercury for sure and it was a very one-sided one,

---

Here are the results of my bet and prediction for today's game

Los Angeles Sparks VS Phoenix Mercury SCORE 91 - 62 - WIN

For sure it was a one-sided game for the Los Angeles Sparks they got 30 points that easily from this game in the 1st quarter half the score of the Phoenix Mercury and as I have said Brittney Griner didn't play and even Diana Taurasi that has a toe injury, Jordin Canada and Zia Cooke both got 11 points, but surely Canada got most of the Assist Karlie Samuelson got 15 points and Azura Steven got 20 points, winning a very dominant game,

It's a win guys, the right choice for us, and even the spreads are covered. Los Angeles Sparks didn't even have any problem at all with defeating the Phoenix Mercury.
From 1st quarter to the 4th quarter, they did not let the Mercury get close to the lead that they built. 15 points deficit in the first quarter and they preserved it well to end it in a blowout.
Seriously, Jordin Canada is getting better at leading their team and those 7 assists that she made say it all. She will become one of the best playmakers in the league but she needs some help to make that happen.
Phoenix Mercury on the other hand might just wave the white flag. Without Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi, I don't know where their offense will come from.

Congratulations to everyone who won tonight.
Tomorrow we have lots of games again and Sun versus Liberty is where my eyes are sparkling. It will definitely be a good game.

This could be solved if the players and the management aren't too stubborn enough to accept the small changes that some NBA players suggest, I think some NBA players are getting from their salary to compensate for the revenue needed for the WNBA to continue and they are too stubborn to accept the fact, but surely they will eventually realize this when it is already too late,

I do not wishing the WNBA to go or end, I just wish they would just listen and implement it 1st before saying something that may hurt their ego a bit,


I have taken my break for a while and need to get an early sleep because it is the 1st day of school for my son, and he is too excited about getting back to school, I totally missed all 4 games but I am now back and ready to bet again

---

So we are having 1 game today and here is my bet and prediction for the game today on the WNBA,

Los Angeles Sparks VS Phoenix Mercury

The stake odds for this game are 1.14 for the Sparks and 4.90 for the Mercury, For the game today Nia Clouden, Lexie Brown, and Chiney Ogwumike all can not play for the Sparks, and Katie Lou Samuelson are out for this season, while Diana Taurasi is doubtful if she can play for the Mercury and Skylar Diggins-Smith, Shey Peddy, and Brittney Griner are all not going to play for the Mercury, for this game, it is pretty much well known that Britney Griner is a literal big asset for the Phoenix Mercury, and the only one that can dunk on the team so their defense is pretty much crucial for this game so my pick and bet for this game is the Los Angeles Sparks,

I surely Miss all 4 games I was really tired of getting my phone to make a bet, but If I go and bet for those 4 games I think I will just get 2 games correct but maybe after seeing the results, it will surely depend on the injuries for the game, and I think I would bet for the Seattle Storm because they are doing great recently but they lost to the Chicago Sky this time,

My bet for the game today

Los Angeles Sparks (1.14) VS Phoenix Mercury (4.90)

This game will commence at Crypto.com Arena, home of the L.A. Sparks, right now Katie Lou Samuelson has a personal problem and is out of the season, Chiney Ogwumike has a foot injury, Nia Clouden has a knee injury, and Lexie Brown has an Illness, and all of them can not play for the LA Sparks, while Diana Taurasi has a toe injury and is questionable if she can play for the Mercury, Skylar Diggins-Smith has a personal problem, Shey Peddy has a Concussion, and Brittney Griner has Illness and all can not play the Phoenix Mercury, for this game, I think that the Los Angeles Sparks has many games wins compared to the Phoenix Mercury and because Britney Griner is not playing while Diana Taurasi even though she might play is not consistent has still come from an injury returning to the game my pick is the Los Angeles Sparks,

It indeed is a good thing for players to show their fans appreciation well a deserved thing as we see Diana Taurasi despite her age is still playing even though she is now inconsistent because of the age 41 Right she is still playing the league I think compared to the NBA that has young guns that are preparing to change the playing field teams now have many options while Lebron James is still there as well at the age of 38 years old but comparing again with Taurasi James is consistent with his game, even though Fans love the Consistency of their players playing in the court and there are no new generations filling up to dethrone them it is alarming if this consistency stays in the league then there might be no new fans for the new generation getting involved, but this is just my thought even though there are newly drafted players maybe just maybe,

Anyway I haven't made my bet for the recent 4 games but here is my pick for today's game

Los Angeles Sparks vs Phoenix Mercury

The Los Angeles Sparks will be having their game against the Phoenix Mercury today at Crypto.com Arena, for Los Angeles Sparks' key injuries are Katie Lou Samuelson (Personal) is Out this season, Nia Clouden (knee), Lexie Brown (Illness), and Chiney Ogwumike (foot), all of them can not play for the team, while Skylar Diggins-Smith (personal), Shey Peddy (Concussion), Brittney Griner (Illness), and all of them can not play for the Phoenix Mercury, and Diana Taurasi (toe) is questionable if she can play for the team, with this injuries the Sparks injuries were surely nothing serious for them, while Griner in the Mercury the Phoenix Mercury will be having a hard time about it, so my pick is the Los Angeles Sparks,

Did we all just miss the 4 games today?  Because I don't see anyone sharing their picks.

Well, I am glad I did miss it.
First, I could've been a victim of betting for the Las Vegas Aces at a high amount of spread. They only finished the game against Atlanta Dream with a 12-point lead and I doubt that will be covered. Usually, it's -14.5 or worse.


Second, the same as above I could've been willing to take the spreads for the Connecticut Sun too. They only won by 4 points against the Washington Mystics. Without Elena Delle Donne, I am still glad the Mystics can fight back like that against one of the strong teams in the league.

Finally Seattle Storm. I may have taken the bet for their ML because they are 6-4 in their last 10 games while the Chicago Sky is 4-6. I guess I will just be thankful I missed watching the games today.

Tomorrow just one game.
Los Angeles Sparks versus Phoenix Mercury - I am taking the L.A. Sparks (-8.5) and I am locking it in.

Yeah, that's the beauty of this sport. Fans will enjoy the game as even the heavy favorite that is playing inside their court will play against the underdog and that includes all the players aside from the injured one.

Fans will see their idols playing hard and really giving everything just to compete and satisfied the viewers,
compared to NBA, where we see load management, unexpected star players that will be sided and not to let
them play to avoid any injuries, hope that the organization will find more sponsors so players will be compensated
better than what they are earning currently.

Super agree with that mate.
They don't do load management and even in a blowout, stars are still playing the game. I also love the attitude of the WNBA players. Paid lesser than NBA but they are doing all the effort to show the fans a more entertaining game.
True. Just enough for them to savor the money whenever the off-season comes. $200k per season is not that much considering how much the team owners are making. I really doubt they are making lesser with all the attention that the WNBA is getting now.

We have lots of games tomorrow and we are still far from the playoffs. Ranks 4-8 are still trying to race and have a safe spot for the playoffs.
