thanks for takin time Aussie 

luv unnder in NY seattle-4 and minny +9

can't create my own thread for some reason 

good luck tonight 

Chicago Sky @ LA Sparks: Over 162.5

The Sky are missing Lavender but the Sparks are pretty much 100% apart from missing Riquna due to suspension. Both these teams to play up and down the court at a good quick pace. I think we see Fisher try and run the Sky off the court. I hope he keeps Chiney on the bench for a long period of time because whenever she comes on she does too many fouls and silly turnovers. Both teams have decent 3 point shooters and once again, the Sky will find it hard to stop Nneka and CP3 inside just like they found it very hard to stop Liz the other night vs the Aces.

Nice to see you KVS and thank you

You have to love the very late injury reports.

Vandersloot is OUT for this game and so is Beard..

Been hot lately mate. Keep it up 

Thanks mate, was nice to get both wins today.. Been a tough season

Nice work Aussie, you heating up now! If you can have a tough season and still finish with a positive season, you're doing something right :)

You were saying in a couple of posts before that this has been one of the more "random" seasons with odd results coming out. 8 point quarters, large favorites not covering, etc. Since I'm new the NWBA (and I'm slowly starting to like it, just getting frustrated like any other bettor), you have said before that this sport is a little more consistent?  Thanks in advance for your response AussieDownUnder... 

Cheers MattyP. Need to be more consistent though mate, been a roller coaster of a ride so far.

Hi Square

Previous seasons, the books gave out lazy, early lines (more than 24 hours before) but now they seem to really have tightened up with that aspect because like today, we got lines around 6 hours before tip-off for the first 2 games. If you miss when the line comes out, they can easily get hit hard by cappers and you can lose 2-3 points on the line if your not quick enough. Exceptionally tough in Australia because the lines come out around 12 midnight.

The start of the season was a little ugly, the girls were playing the same pace/speed, they just weren't hitting their shots. A few weeks ago, I think I posted it showing that only 5 of the 12 teams actually were shooting 40% or higher which is bad. The last 2 seasons saw 9 of the 12 shoot 40% or more.

For these girls though Square, too make money they need to play all year round and across different countries, mostly Europe and China for the big money (they earn more than compared to WNBA). Some take a year off, and then others come down with injuries purely from not getting enough rest.

This season alone, we are missing almost the entire USA team. If you are new to the league, these players are amazing. If you get a chance, when they come back its definitely worth watching.

Storm are missing 2 starters, Breanna Stewart and Sue Bird who were insane last season and pretty much the reason why the Storm won, along with a few others.

The Lynx lost 9 of their 12 players from last season, including Maya Moore who is a MVP and a gun players. Their starting PG (Whalen) retired and they also lost Brunson (concussion).

The Dream, who are horrible this season missing their key player, Angel McCoughtry who is their offense machine. Averages well over 18 points per game.

Mercury missing Diana Taurasi, arguably one of the best guards ever to play women's basketball. She has played 1 game all season and maybe out for the remainder.

The Wings, missing Skylar Diggins through pregnancy, she was the one player that could get the offense moving. They are also missing a new player who is a good player (Jefferson) who they got from trading away Liz Cambage.

There are a few more I am forgetting, but the quality of players on the court right now isn't what it could be. The first half of the season could have been a teething period for some teams to get use to their new players and also to bring the rookies into the mix. I feel as though moving forward though, some teams have adapted well now and have had enough games under their belts to shot a little better.

Fun fact mate, last year we had some totals from Vegas around 170-175. This year, I think they highest I have seen was around 167.

Prior to this season, we hadn't seen a total of 147 or less since 2016 in the reg season, we have seen 11 this year so far.

Hope this helps, to sum it up

I mostly specialize in WTA tennis ingames mate.  But I decided to fully concentrate on WNBA this season after I've noticed the really "soft" lines given by the books(although its been tightening rather quick the past couple weeks or so).  I'm in Vegas & usually the lines come out around the time I wake up(0700 hrs).  If there are games that I really like at opening lines, I put em in right away(such as today with Mystics at -8.5 & Aces at -1.5).  If not, I don't force it.

I hope WNBA doesn't go mainstream anytime soon with bettors because I've been killing it.  A total of +1025% was gained based on my starting bankroll, exactly since 31 WNBA game days ago.  I left the tennis forum stating my intent to the tennis forum members that I'll be fully concentrating on WNBA until season ends before I return back to the tennis forum.  Here is my log of my 50 WNBA game day journal I started, with a remaining 19 playing days left over before the playoffs start:
