Odds taken October 6th

The best way of predicting the future is to look back at the past. Here are some interesting trends to consider before making a wager:

  • Western Conference teams have won nine of the last 11 WNBA championships
  • Only four Eastern Conference teams have won the WNBA Championship since 1997
  • The no. 1 seed has reached the WNBA Finals in each of the last four years, winning three times
  • Only once has a team with a sub-500 record reached the WNBA Finals

Eastern Conference

Sports Betting Dime

It’s a two horse race between the Sun and Mystics at the top, but the Liberty could see their odds improve following the draft in which they have the #1 overall pick

Western Conference

Sports Betting Dime

The Phoenix Mercury present an attractive bet at after acquiring Skylar Diggins-Smith from the Dallas Wings in the offseason

Past WNBA Champions

Year Team
2019 Washington Mystics
2018 Seattle Storm
2017 Minnesota Lynx
2016 Los Angeles Sparks
2015 Minnesota Lynx
2014 Phoenix Mercury
2013 Minnesota Lynx
2012 Indiana Fever
2011 Minnesota Lynx
2010 Seattle Storm

The Mystics won their first title in franchise history last season, and will look to repeat after an offseason of wild movement among some of the league’s top players.

WNBA Teams That Have Never Won a Championship

Team Year Established
New York Liberty 1997
Las Vegas Aces 1997
Connecticut Sun 1999
Chicago Sky 2006
Atlanta Dream 2008

Will 2019 be the year the Liberty finally win their first WNBA championship? New York came tantalizingly close during the league’s early days, reaching the WNBA Finals in four of their first five seasons.
