How to Read the WNBA Futures Odds
Presented in a list, the odds are generally ranked from teams or players with the best chances to the worst. The 2023 WNBA Championship futures odds have the Las Vegas Aces set as the favorites to win the title. So, if the Aces are listed at the top of the futures odds at +115, you win $115 on a $100 bet.
The Indiana Fever has longer odds to win the championship and is listed at the bottom at +10000 (win $10000 on a $100 bet).
If the odds have a negative number, that means the outcome is more likely to occur. Placing a bet on that player or team would pay out less than you what you wagered. So if you bet $250 on Aliyah Boston to win Rookie of the Year with futures odds at -250, you would only win $100.
