    WNBA in half-point calculator?
    The half-point calculator does not have WNBA as an option, is it possible to add that?
    Since WNBA is available in SBRodds I assume that someone got the required info for previous games as well.

    I guess that the numbers for NBA and WNBA would be quite similar, but does anyone know how similar? I guess that a point is worth more in WNBA due to the lower scoring, but I'm not sure if that is a valid conclusion.
    How much is a point worth in WNBA compared to NBA?

    Would be nice to put this together.

    And while we're at it, how many half points is it worth when one of the starters is "on the rag"?

        We'd need to figure out the push probabilities of each of the numbers to then determine their worth.

          So you mean no one else than him can update it?
          All that should be needed is to calculate the push probabilities from past data and put that in some table, and then add a WNBA selection option.

          I guess I have to create my own calculator otherwise. How many games do you think is required to get reliably push probabilities?

          Edit: I assume I should use closing lines for this, but should I also include preseason and playoff games?
          I got the feeling that lines are sharper at the end of season and because of that maybe those games should be weighted more?

            What site has the best WNBA line archive? I haven't seen one as comprehensive as in the other sports.

              Why don't you get to work on it reload.


              The rest of you can just use the ncaab to approximate.

                Just find 2 books with diff lines (but they have accounted for the juice) and use that to determine the value of a half point.
