Caitlin Clark is setting the WNBA on fire, and she’s got the Indiana Fever blazing a trail right behind her. Just a few weeks ago, the Fever were a long shot at 100/1 to win the championship, but fast forward to now, and their odds have taken a nosedive to 19/1. This turnaround isn’t just impressive-it’s making waves in the betting world.
Clark, alongside her partner in crime Aliyah Boston, has led the Fever to an unbelievable run, winning six out of their last seven games. With this hot streak, Indiana now boasts the sixth-best odds in the WNBA, according to FanDuel, making them a legit threat as the playoffs loom.
But here’s where it gets really juicy. BetMGM is sweating bullets as the Fever have become a massive liability. Throughout the season, they’ve attracted a staggering 50.9 percent of the handle-meaning a whole lot of money is riding on Clark and her crew to take it all. And it’s not just the casual bettors hopping on the Clark hype train; big money is backing Indiana, with 38.9 percent of the tickets in the market leaning toward the Fever.
High rollers bet big on Clark’s Fever as playoff drama unfolds
When the handle outpaces the ticket percentages, you know high rollers are throwing down serious cash. Case in point: Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has a cool $100,000 bet on the Fever to snag the championship. If Clark and Boston pull it off, DraftKings is looking at a mind-blowing $10 million payout. Talk about high stakes!
Despite their recent surge, the Fever didn’t make any major moves at the trade deadline-a decision that raised some eyebrows given their playoff push. Yet, they’ve managed to climb into the playoff picture with a 17-16 record, a remarkable feat considering they started the season with a dismal 1-8 run.
With the WNBA playoffs kicking off on October 20, all eyes are on Clark and the Fever. Can they keep the momentum going and pull off one of the most epic comebacks in WNBA history? Betting on it might just pay off big time.
