Betting WNBA involves assessing the strengths and weaknesses of two teams and then predicting how the two opponents will perform against one another. When WNBA it is therefore important to realize that certain teams excel in specific areas and every season there are a few teams that focus primarily on offense and hope to outscore their opponents. When WNBA odds involving such offensive squads the key is to look primarily at the offensive team’s predicted ability to score.
WNBA games that involve offensive powerhouses is quite common, as there are only 14 teams in the league and a few of them focus much more on offense than defense. As you handicap WNBA odds for these teams you should understand that if an offensive team plays well then it is doubtful its opponent will be able to mach the offensive team’s score. Consequently, your handicapping of the WNBA odds can focus mostly on the effectiveness of the offensive team’s scoring.
To do so you will want to carefully analyze the opposing team’s defense to determine whether it will be capable of slowing down the coming attack. For instance, as you are betting WNBA you will want to look at the defense’s ability to protect the paint and stop three-pointers. If your analysis determines that the offensive team will be able to score at will, then it is likely the team will cover the WNBA odds. On the other hand, WNBA while supporting an offensive team is obviously illogical if you decide that the defensive squad will have the upper hand in the match up.
This same analysis will prove useful as you consider WNBA totals. Such is the case because betting WNBA totals similarly demands you to gauge the predicted effectiveness of the offensive team. If the offensive squad is scoring with ease then there is little question that you should be WNBA on the over, but if the offensive team is struggling to put points on the board then you should be WNBA on the under. Some fans of betting WNBA particularly enjoy betting WNBA on offensive teams because they are some of the most exciting to watch. However, WNBA in this manner is particularly risky during the postseason. Such is the case because defenses often perform best in the playoffs, so offensive teams frequently encounter more resistance than they had in the regular season.
