WNBA: Wednesday
- Thread starter superbook
- Start date
Ace says Ace had a bad day yesterday, but still wound up 2-3 (now 33-18-1 YTD) and close to break even on the day. Ace doesnt like losing. Ace also likes to talk like Ricky Henderson.
Leaning favorites today lines dependant, and one possible over. Saw Bill Lambier on Best Damn Sports Show last night, that guy is a nut but his team still blows.

Ace -- things aren't too bad when you have a bad day and you still break even. I love the WNBA. LOL
I'm writing up my BEST BET now.

Financially I almost broke even, but its a real kick in the crotch to win two add on games, and lose two games you spent a while capping. Oh well, today is another day and hell falling to 64% on the year aint the end of the world!
Early plays:
<b>Charlotte -4
Phoenix -2.5
ORL/PORT UNDER 142.5</b> - Orl allowing 63ppg last 5
Leaning Portland and the under, but two plays for now.
Writeups later.

Hmm intriguing.
However as a general rule I dont do middles, unless its a magic number in the NFL. Just too chancy with WNBA teams to middle a total, I think, unless you can get 3 or 4 full points.
What do you think?

No question it's tougher to middle WNBA than NBA or NCAA hoops.
I've hit one so far this year but I had a 6 point middle.
139 (SIA) to 142.5 (Oly) gives you a 3 point middle.
The opening line on the Total was 138.5.
FWIW I played it so we'll see.
Personally I think the Total will be close to 140 so i thought it was worth a shot.

Made just one play today. In case you haven't been following, my BEST BET selections are 4-0 L4 days.
BEST BET: ORL -1
I don't usually play road teams in WNBA but in this case POR as the home team has the worse travel schedule.
This is POR's third game in the last four nights, the Fire just played in Salt Lake City last night where they lost 86-83. That game was not as close as the score might indicate as POR mounted a major comeback in the 2H to make it close. Utah didn't score a FG in the last 5:30 of the game as those of on Utah -7 were painfully aware as we watched their double digit lead (and our bets) slip away.
This comeback effort and the overall effect of playing 3 games in four days should make the Fire the more tired team, especially vs ORL who last played Sunday afternoon at home.
This is the first of a three game road trip for ORL, I'm sure their objective is to win at least two of the three which is very doable for them given the way they're playing and that the opponents are POR, SEA and MN. The easiest of these three road games is tonight's, so it is important for ORL to get the win here and get their road trip off on the right foot.
ORL has three star players: Nykesha Sales, Shannon Johnson and Taj McWilliams-Franklin. They have played together at ORL for the last three years. The difference between this year's ORL team and those in previous years is their ability to win on the road. ORL is 4-1 on the road this year, winning their L4. They were recently down to NY by 15 in the 1H at MSG and the Miracle came back to win by nine. In past years ORL often suffered letdowns, especially vs weaker teams and they let big leads slip away. This team seems different, perhaps it's the maturing of the three star players.
ORL has the #2 O in the league and vs POR's weak D (#13 in the league), I don't know how POR is going to stop ORL from scoring their usual 80+ ppg. The problem for POR is that there's no way they can keep up with this kind of scoring; POR is shooting below 40% from the field, none of POR's starters are even averaging in double digits. ORL's D has improved in recent games, and if ORL gets out to a big lead I just don't see POR catching up.
ORL 80 POR 61
Remember, the best team doesn't always win.

Would like to take Orlando but Carib is still at -3 and I dont feel like opening another account today. So teasing:
<b>
Orlando +1
Charlotte pk
Phoenix +2
ORL/PORT UNDER 147</b>
<b>
Orlando +1
Charlotte pk
Phoenix +2
ORL/PORT UNDER 147</b>
Season: 4-1
Took my first loss of the season yesterday betting on an underdog, so today I'm taking all the favorites and hoping to get at least 2 of them:
Charlotte -5.5
Orlando -3.5
Phoenix -2.5
Good luck.

As I noted at the other place, I like ORL at -4 almost as much as at -1. If ORL wins this game I don't think it will be close.
And tell me the last time that a WNBA game fell between the opening and closing line. LOL
IMO it's most important to be on the right side.

Damn that's the worst shooting I've seen, would've been an easy cover if they had just made a couple more shots.
I'll take the three wins though, good night. Orlando has stiffling defense though god their offense is not usually that b-a-d
