Three WNBA contests jibe with a historically profitable betting system developed by the Action Network that reports a return on investment (ROI) of 35%.
To provide some context, the annual average return of the S&P 500 — roughly the value of the American stock market — has been 8% for about a century. Since the start of the New Year, that index is down roughly 13.5%.
And since Dec. 31, 2020, the S&P 500 has returned just under 11% on investment.
Another reference point: Bitcoin is down about 0.4% since New Year's Eve 2020.
If you had bet $100 on each game that has fit the WNBA betting algorithm, you'd be up roughly $11,750 since 2005 — that's about $725 per year.
And so far this year — over a small sample size of eight games — this algorithm has already netted $611. That's a 76.4% ROI in a month.
Tuesday's WNBA betting system involves contrarian betting — finding value by going against the public's prevailing notions.
The three games this betting system is targeting are: the Dallas Wings vs. Los Angeles Sparks, the Connecticut Sun vs. Las Vegas Aces and the Washington Mystics vs. Indiana Fever.
