The 2016 WNBA started the season with a cascade of OVERS, a combination to two factors:
1. On Offensive Rebounds the 24 second shot reset to 14, not 24. This change was worth about 4-6 extra points per game.
2. It appeared the refs emphasized more foul calling against the Defense, attempting to make the game higher scoring.
The problem with item 2, is that it also makes the games more boring, as no one wants to see lots of fouls in a game, so I think that was a short term situation. Further, the free throw in the Women's game is ridiculously easy, given the ball used is slightly smaller. Last night the Stars went 16/17 and Phx 26/27 from the line (ok, THAT was ridiculously good, but anyone who follows the WNBA knows the Free Throw is just too easy).
The WNBA changed its playoff format this year, with the top two teams getting byes. Minn and LA are both undefeated, and are LOCKS to get the top 2 seeds, as both are 5+ points better than any other team. Given that, I found some unbelievably attractive numbers locking in Min +200 and LA +750 to win the title just last week (Minn is good down to +120). Yes, their big 4 may get tired playing in the Olympics, but the only team that can beat them is LA this year. Big Syl Fowles has made this dynasty team a complete juggernaut.
Scheduling dynamics will be quirky with teams heading to Brazil for the Olympics, and no WNBA action for a month starting in late July. Given this, it will require a great deal of extra work and prep in late August to adjust power ratings, and bet the WNBA in September. Given the emphasis on Football at that time, I have not committed to doing WNBA after July. However, up to July 22 I watch EVERY WNBA game (on WNBA live access).
I have released a HUGE WNBA 3* play that goes TONIGHT, and further my WNBA limited edition all access pass is UP. 11-6 YTD in the WNBA, we look to build that summer bankroll betting into a sport that IMO is one of THE most beatable ones. The line is holding for now, here is the link to my home page:
