WNBA Championship Predictions

A busy offseason saw seven teams get new head coaches, a new team added to the lineup (Golden State Valkyries), and a number of stars finding new homes either through free agency or via trade.  Some teams improved, and some teams didn’t.

New York and Vegas will look a little different this season, but will still contend for the championship. Minnesota wasn’t very active in the offseason, but still has a solid roster. Indiana looks fantastic on paper, but I want to see them play before putting money on them.

But the teams to watch when the season gets underway will be the Phoenix Mercury and Los Angeles Sparks. Both made some key moves during the offseason that could really pay off and possibly bring them to the Finals.

WNBA Championship Picks – Las Vegas Aces and Phoenix Mercury

I’m excited to see A’ja Wilson and former Seattle guard Jewell Lloyd teaming up on the Aces; they could certainly become a championship-caliber tandem.

As for the Mercury, I love the off-season moves they made. If they end up being as good as they look on paper, they could win it all.

I’m keeping an eye on the Los Angeles Sparks, but I’m not ready to bet on them just yet.

How to Bet on WNBA Championship Odds

There are essentially two ways to bet on the WNBA Championship: (1) futures odds that are available practically year-round and subject to change at any moment, and (2) the traditional betting line that will become available once the final two teams have been decided.

The act of placing a bet is pretty simple. All you’ll need to do is follow these steps: (1) register for an account with the sportsbook you want to place your bet, (2) deposit sufficient funds into your account, (3) locate the WNBA Championship odds at your sportsbook of choice, and (4) place your bet.

How to Read WNBA Championship Odds

Reading WNBA Championship odds is easier than Caitlin Clark hitting a three-pointer. Odds will consist of a three-digit number that will either be – or +. If a number has a – in front of it, then it will have a greater than 50% chance of winning. Consequently, if it has a +, then it has less than a 50% chance of winning.

If the odds have a – sign (i.e., -110, -250, -500, etc.), then the number will be how much you have to bet to win $100. For example, for a market with -500 odds, you’ll need to bet $500 to win $100. For those with + signs, the number is how much you’ll win if you bet $100.

So, let’s say you bet on a team to win the WNBA Championship, and that team has +1200 odds. A $100 bet will result in a $1300 payday, your stake ($100) plus $1200 in winnings.

Where to Bet on WNBA Championship Odds

The following are my preferred online sportsbooks for betting on the WNBA:

  • BetMGM: BetMGM typically has game odds posted in a pretty timely fashion (which is not the case for every sportsbook). I’m a big fan of their same game parlay builder, too. You will not have the OVER/UNDER as an option, but there will be more players and markets to choose from than at several sportsbooks. New users of BetMGM are eligible to claim the welcome offer by using our promo code WSNSPORTS when creating a profile: Get Up to $1,500 in Bonus Bets*.

    *Bonus Bets Expire in 7 Days. One New Customer Offer Only. Add’l terms.

  • bet365: I’m a fan of any sportsbook that offers bonus bets for a welcome offer, but that’s not the only reason why I like bet365 for WNBA betting. Like BetMGM, they often tend to have odds posted sooner than other books, which gives me more time to research and decide on what markets I want to bet on. Use our promo code WSN365 to join bet365, and claim the following bonus: Bet $5, Get $150 in Bonus Bets Win or Lose.

  • FanDuel: Like bet365, I like that FanDuel offers bonus bets to new users when they sign up: Bet $5, Get $250 in Bonus Bets if Your Bet Wins. Their odds, like the other two, are competitive, and they tend to post at least the traditional betting line in a pretty timely manner (and not just the morning of or late the night before).
