Betting Value in Free WNBA Betting Picks
There are many ways to bet on one WNBA game, such as picking who will win the game (moneylines) to point spreads and totals. The key is to find the best wagering value. If a spread that you've gauged should be around 4-5 points comes -5.5, there's a little value present with the underdog as the favorite is overvalued a bit. However, if you've projected the WNBA total to be 160 and its posted at 151, then you've identified far more value in the total. And if the numbers come right around you're projected numbers, there is little value present. That means pass and move on to the other games. Smart bettors have no problem passing as money not wagered is cash that is ultimately not lost.

WNBA Totals
Any WNBA basketball contest that has a favorite and underdog is also going to have a total attached. This is the total number of points scored by both teams at close to even money. You will see a pair of WNBA numbers such as "New York -6, 156". That means the Liberty is a 6-point favorite with a combined final score of 81-75. If there's no value in the side, do some research on the total. Examine the team stats. For instance, check on the defensive numbers of New York and their opponent, such as points allowed and 3-point shooting defense. If both teams are elite defensively or in the top half of the league, the game will probably feature a lot of defense for four quarters with the UNDER a possibility. Also, examine how those teams play defensively at home and on the road. Many teams can be very strong defensively at home but far less so on the road. But if the visiting team usually brings that tough defense with them on the road, it adds another layer to projecting a fierce defensive battle.
Undervalued Dogs
To the trained eye of an experienced handicapper, home WNBA underdogs stand out when the overnight lines come out. Even the worst team in the league is more likely to give a strong effort in front of the hometown paying customers than on the road. In one season, Atlanta was 6-12 straight up on the road but 8-10 at home. Atlanta had one dismal four-game road trip losing all four while surrendering the most points all season in two of the games, 105 and 106 points. They then came home and as a +4 underdog, upset Dallas, 80-75. That same season, they had a home-and-home series versus Washington, losing the game on the road by 20 points but losing just 78-73 at home with a far more spirited effort.
Situational Handicapping
There are many times when situations top stats or are a larger factor than normal. For instance, a bad team playing a string of three consecutive home games is in a good situation to overachieve for a few of those games in front of the home fans. They're likely to be an underdog in some of them and possibly all of them. The situation is in the favor of the home dog. In one recent season, Phoenix ended up with a losing record though they had a winning home mark. During their first three-game homestand, the Mercury went 2-1 SU/ATS, covering as a +7 home dog to Connecticut, 92-88, and even topping Los Angeles, 81-74, as a home dog. Later that same season, Phoenix had a four-game homestand and went 3-1 SU/ATS winning two of those straight up as underdogs of +5.5 and +4.5.
