How Does the WNBA Championship Work?
The sportsbook offers many ways for fans to bet on the WNBA postseason, with the moneyline, point spread and total being the three main ways.
The moneyline is the same as any other sport, with bettors given the option of who they will win the game or series in the postseason.
The point spread is also similar, as it entails bettors deciding how much a team will win or lose by, while the total is a prediction on the combined number of points each team will score.
Betting Strategy
There are a few different strategies bettors can employ to get the most out of their wager.
Researching the teams one is betting on is going to be the most helpful, as knowing what players are doing well as well as who is injured will be useful in placing a bet.
Knowing how a team is playing heading into the playoffs is also key, as a team playing strong and with momentum is likely to do better than a team that just snuck in.
Finally, it can be helpful to look at a team’s history with who it is playing, because if a team has historically played well against another, it may be a strong choice to take it in the matchup.
Prop Bets
Prop bets are another way to get involved in WNBA championship betting, and are an exciting way to add some entertainment value to the game aside from the three main betting pieces.
Prop bets are wagers on events that could take place during the games, such as what team will win the tip-off or who will score first. Bettors can also wager on player props, which are bets on how a player will perform statistically, such as how many points they will score or rebounds they will get.
