Turn RBI into ROI

Modeling WNBA picks offers some specific challenges. There are only 12 teams in the league, each only playing 36 games during the regular season. 

​

With less than a quarter of the sports betting opportunities of the NBA, our ability to push volume over the course of a season is impacted. However, there is a big upside to betting the WNBA.

​

Since the WNBA is less wagered on, we’ve found this market to be much less efficient than the NBA & NCAAB. Using the same methodology we apply to our NBA & NCAAB basketball picks, we’re able to attain an accuracy percentage of around 60% in the WNBA for the same markets that may only be 55% in men’s basketball. With this increased edge in the WNBA, we are able to achieve similar unit returns as other leagues’ expert picks. 

​

We place expert WNBA picks on the first half & full game wagers against the point spread & on the moneyline, as well as first quarter, first half & full game picks and predictions on game & team totals. All together, this provides 8 total markets for picks in the WNBA.
