Betting WNBA Underdogs at SBG Global

Betting WNBA underdogs is actually much like betting underdogs in any sport. In general, many sports gamblers tend to wager primarily on favorites rather than underdogs, but such a preference is usually flawed. Therefore, if you find that you are almost always betting WNBA favorites then you likely need to re-evaluate your handicapping strategies in order to give more credit to the underdogs. However, the WNBA only has a small number of teams and the league frequently introduces expansion teams. Consequently, there is little parity in the WNBA and there are several teams each season that are quite pitiful and listed as underdogs in almost every match up. As a result, you will also sometimes find yourself betting WNBA odds in which the point spread is set very high.

Regardless of how the WNBA odds have been set, you always must search for the best value when you are betting WNBA match ups. Due to the league’s disparity, some gamblers tend to always wager on the favorite when a very good team faces off against a very lousy team. However, because the point spread for such a match up will be set very high, there may actually be reason to consider betting WNBA on the underdog. If the point spread is set high enough, even the best team in the league will have difficulty covering against even the worst team in the league.

Similar considerations should be made when you are betting WNBA money lines. Even though you can be almost positive that a lousy WNBA team will lose to an elite WNBA team, there may still be reason to seriously consider betting WNBA on the underdog if the money line is set high enough. Veteran sports gamblers know that absolutely nothing is guaranteed in sports, so you must always consider the possibility that the underdog will achieve a surprise upset victory, particularly if the underdog is playing at home. In this case, the WNBA money line may offer more value on the side of the underdog, even if the team’s chances of winning are relatively small.
