I've spent the last couple of weeks compiling as much information as I can and basically getting ready for what is hopefully another profitable season. This will be my 4th year capping the WNBA.
I post every wager I make here on Covers . I don't Twitter or Tout. It's all here on Covers.
Looking forward to opinions and discussions. I'd like to wish everyone Good Luck. Have a great year.
2009 YTD 111-91 ( +22.1 units )
2010 YTD 97-80 ( +24.3 units )
2011 YTD 85-55 ( +60.85 units )
INDIANA-----+560
Not too many off season moves by the Fever.. They added Ronneka Hodges who's had a strong pre season. The Fever fell a game short last season in making the WNBA Finals. Tamika Catchings was the league MVP in 2011. She's probably the most versatile player in the league.
FORECAST FOR 2012-----------A 20 PLUS WIN SEASON AND ONCE AGAIN A POSSIBLE TRIP TO THE CONFERENCE FINAL.
CONNECTICUT----+1280
The Sun finished the season 21-13 in 2011 but the biggest problem over the last couple of years has been playing on the Road. 15-2 at Home and 6-11 away from Home. Unexplainable if you ask me.
FORECAST FOR 2012----------TOP 2 FINISH AND CERTAINLY WELL WORTH THE BETTING VALUE OF +1280.
CHICAGO-------+915
The Chicago Sky made some serious noise in the off season and improved this team immensely. The Sky added Cash, Penichiero, Willingham and Riley who all have a combined 40+ years of WNBA experience and multiple titles to boot. Not to mention that they have the most dominant center in the league in Sylvia Fowles ( The WNBA's version of Dwight Howard ) Except she can make free throws.
FORECAST FOR 2012--------THIS IS MY DARKHORSE TO WIN THE EAST.
ATLANTA-----+770
It's no fluke the Dream made the WNBA finals B2B years. They are well conditioned have great team chemistry and probably have the best athlete in the league in Angel McCoughtry. However they don't get DeSouza until the London Olympics are over.
FORECAST FOR 2012---------ANOTHER TRIP TO THE FINAL ? NO A POST SEASON APPEARANCE ? YES
WASHINGTON-------120-1
A complete Overhaul for 2012. They added 9 new players to the team via trades and draft. Nothing worth mentioning. Practically the entire 2011 team is gone except for Crystal Langhorn who undoubtedly is the most under rated player in the league. She's gonna have to pair up with Snow and Robinson who both lack skills in the paint. They have a huge front line. I'm gonna be looking to play some UNDERS early on with this team.
FORECAST FOR 2012--------------5TH OR 6TH
NEW-YORK-----50-1
Did absolutely nothing to improve their team. I kind of feel sorry for Cappie Pondexter. Once again there games will be played at the Prudential Center in New Jersey.
I hope this was helpful to some of the New guys that might be betting the WNBA for the first time.
For the rest of the guys that do follow this league. Feel free to add something.
I GOTTA RUN AND I WILL DO THE WESTERN CONFERENCE LATER TONIGHT ON THIS THREAD.
I DON'T HAVE A PLAY ON TODAY'S GAME.
BTW----LAUREN JACKSON IS OUT FOR SEATTLE.SHE WON'T BE BACK UNTIL AFTER THE OLYMPICS.
