I field a lot of questions from VSiN readers about the analysis I offer regularly, whether it be about the strength ratings, trends, systems or whatever else is on people’s minds for football, baseball, college and pro hoops, hockey, and even NASCAR. That said, every once in a while, and it’s typically always early in the season, I will get some exuberant WNBA fans asking me if I have any good betting systems to go along with the daily strength ratings I offer on VSiN.com. This article goes out to that special group of bettors, as I offer up a set of solid WNBA Systems to bolster your confidence for betting the league over the next few months. I figured I’d get to this ASAP before we get too deep into the schedule.
Typically, the number 13 has been associated with bad luck. Perhaps that could turn starting now, as I unveil 13 lucky betting systems that could help you navigate to profits in this WNBA season. The systems stem from a variety of factors, including line ranges, last game performance, team strength statistics, and more. As you take in this piece, understand that I don’t often study this subject for WNBA betting, so what I’m revealing is relatively new to both of us. With the Caitlin Clark renaissance and exponential growth of WNBA betting going on, it is time.
For the record, the data I used for this study covered games since the start of the 2021 season, running all the way up through yesterday, May 19th. The sample contained 1,315 games, an amount easily conducive to finding foundational advantages. I hope you not only enjoy the material, but it also helps you to make big profits over the next few months as well.
WNBA Betting System #1
Huge favorites are a betting disaster – Since the start of the 2021 WNBA season, huge favorites of 12 points or more are 147-19 SU but just 68-98 ATS (41%).
WNBA Betting System #2
Road favorites shake off upset losses quickly – Over the last 5+ seasons, there have been 44 WNBA instances in which a team played as a road favorite for a second straight game after being upset in the prior game. Those teams have boasted an impressive 37-7 SU and 31-12-1 ATS (72.1%) record in those follow-up games.
WNBA Betting System #3
Beware of home teams coming off close wins – Since the beginning of the 2021 season, teams playing at home and coming off a close win of 5-points or fewer have struggled terribly, going 80-87 SU and 60-106-1 ATS (36.1%).
WNBA Betting System #4
Close losses have been great motivation for home chalk recently – Since the beginning of the 2022 season, teams playing as home favorites after coming off a close loss (8 pts or fewer) have gone 103-32 SU and 77-54-3 ATS (58.8%).
WNBA Betting System #5
Teams on winning streaks are not good underdogs – Surprisingly, WNBA teams riding winning streaks of three or more games have not been good underdogs, as they are just 25-64 SU and 33-55-1 ATS (37.5%) in their last 89 tries in that role.
WNBA Betting System #6
Teams coming off good defensive efforts ARE good underdogs– Teams coming off a game in which they allowed 68 points or fewer and are set up as underdogs have gone 44-78 SU but 69-51-2 ATS (57.5%) over the last 5+ seasons.
WNBA Betting System #7
Weren’t hitting on 3-point shots last game? No problem – part 1 – Teams playing on the road and coming off a game in which they made four 3-point shots or fewer boast a record of 79-92 SU but 100-67-4 ATS (59.9%) in WNBA play since 2021.
WNBA Betting System #8
Weren’t hitting on 3-point shots last game? No problem – part 2 – WNBA teams playing a second straight home game and coming off a game in which they made four 3-point shots or fewer are 48-34 SU and 52-32 ATS (61.9%) since ’21.
WNBA Betting System #9
Home teams rally from overtime losses – Losing in overtime would figure to be a drain on a WNBA team mentally. However, hosts in this situation are currently on a run of 16-9 SU and 19-6 ATS (76%) as we play into the 2026 season. Incidentally, those games are also on a 19-6 Under the total (76%) surge as fatigue may play a factor.
WNBA Betting System #10
Road teams with big scoring deficits are surprisingly good bets – We saw in #1 above that huge favorites haven’t made for good wagers in the WNBA recently. Well, similarly, road teams scoring 10+ points per game fewer than their host counterparts are on a 17-54 SU but 48-23 ATS (67.6%) run since 2021.
WNBA Betting System #11
Explosive home teams are not reliable favorites – This is a similar foundational angle as #9 above, but home teams averaging more than 86.5 PPG in the WNBA have struggled when laying 5.5 points or more, going 106-32 SU but just 53-85 ATS (38.4%) over the last 5+ seasons.
WNBA Betting System #12
Well-rested big underdogs can be trusted– There are times throughout a WNBA season when teams get nearly a week of rest between games. When underdogs of 7 points or more have been on 6+ days rest, they have thrived, going 22-14 ATS (61.1%) in their last 36 tries. An example would be when a team plays one game on the 1st of a month, and the next on the 7th or later.
WNBA Betting System #13
Significantly shorter rest has been a benefit for road teams – It seems that too much rest for home teams is a detriment against shorter-rested road opponents, as those visitors playing on 3+ days fewer rest have actually gone 37-33 SU and 44-24-2 ATS (64.7%) in the WNBA since 2021. Unbalanced schedules like this happen far more frequently in the WNBA than in other leagues.
