FanDuel Odds for the WNBA Draft and Futures Odds for the Championship
Sports betting is becoming legal in more and more states. Massachusetts became the latest state to allow state residents to place wagers on sporting events with the opening of retail sportsbooks at the end of January and the legalization of online sportsbooks for residents in early March. While women’s sports aren’t as prevalent in sportsbooks listings, there has been progress. Most of the top sportsbooks list WNBA Futures Odds, and some also included women’s NCAA DI games in their listings during the 2022-23 season.
Furthermore, the country’s leading online sportsbook, FanDuel, announced a multiyear partnership extension with the WNBA in September, making the operator the official sportsbook partner and official daily fantasy partner of the league. The extension comes five years after FanDuel became the league’s daily fantasy partner.
Ahead of the 2023 season, FanDuel and a few other sportsbooks list futures odds for the 2023 championship. However, FanDuel goes a step further and has also posted odds for the 2023 WNBA Draft. Below are the odds for the top two picks in this season’s draft and the championship.
| Odds for the No. 1 Pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft | |
| Aliyah Boston | -2400 |
| Diamond Miller | +1900 |
| Jordan Horston | +2900 |
| Stephanie Soares | +8500 |
| Maddy Siegrist | +11000 |
| Haley Jones | +12000 |
| Grace Berger | +16000 |
| Odds for No. 2 Pick | |
| Diamond Miller | -950 |
| Aliyah Boston | +2300 |
| Jordan Horston | +2600 |
| Maddy Siegrist | +2200 |
| Haley Jones | +2200 |
| Stephanie Soares | 11000 |
| Brea Beal | +9500 |
How to Read the Draft Moneyline Odds
A moneyline is a bet on which team or player will win a contest, game, award, etc., outright, with the favorites getting a negative number and the underdogs listed with a positive number. The odds are based on $100 bets; however, some bookmakers may cap the amount of money you can bet.
So you would need to bet $2400 just to win $100 if you placed a wager on Aliyah Boston. However, if you chose Diamond Miller, a $10 bet would earn you $190. FanDuel’s maximum wager for Diamond Miller is $53 for the No. 1 pick.
