WNBA Championship Predictions

It’s a little surprising that it’s taken as long as it has, but the Lynx are finally the betting favorite to win the WNBA Finals. If they continue to win games like they have been, they will not have plus money odds for long. So, if you are going to bet on them, you might want to hurry up and do so.

From what we’ve heard, Breanna Stewart’s injury is not going to knock her out for the season.  That's why bettors haven't lost faith in New York. They have not been the force they were last season, but they are winning more than they lose and have time to figure out how to take their game to another level.

They’ll need to if they’re going to take down Minnesota.

Indiana has gone from being a contender to more of a dark horse. They’ve figured out how to win without Caitlin Clark, but if they can integrate her back into the game plan once she’s healthy and not lose a step….Yeah, those odds will not be north of +1000 for long.

WNBA Championship - My Pick

Indiana Fever (+1100) at BetMGM Sportsbook

If you are going to bet on Minnesota or New York, do so soon because their odds are just going to get shorter. But at this point in the season, when it comes to making WNBA Championship picks, I’m looking for value. A team may be on the fringe of the conversation right now or not even in it.

But if things continue to go their way, that’s going to change. At the moment, there are two teams I see worth rolling the dice on: Indiana (+1100) and Los Angeles (+15000).

Indiana is still one of the better teams despite Caitlin Clark being sidelined for much of the season. Her eventual return, if they can integrate with her and not lose a step, could be the catalyst the Fever need to get over the top.

It is unlikely the Sparks will turn it around enough to win the WNBA Finals. That would require several injuries on key teams just for that to be possible. Getting Cameron Brink back helps, but they’ll need a lot to continue to go their way to really have a chance.

2025 WNBA Championship Odds

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 $150 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).
