Caitlin Clark had a legendary run at Iowa, leading the Hawkeyes to two straight national title runner-up finishes, and has helped to spur viewing interest in women’s basketball. After being drafted No. 1 overall by the Indiana Fever, Clark has remained at the forefront of public consciousness and fans are excited to see what she does in her rookie year in the WNBA.
Bettors think she’s going to have a terrific season.
At DraftKings Sportsbook, Clark (12-1 odds) has the most bets and most total dollars wagered in the 2024 WNBA MVP market, garnering a ridiculous 70 percent of bets and 70 percent of the handle. Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson (+120) is the overwhelming favorite to win the award, and only had 18 percent of the bets at DraftKings.
The splits were similar at BetMGM, with Clark (10-1) generating 68 percent of bets and 78 percent of the handle to win MVP. Clark is also the overwhelming odds-on favorite (-800) to win Rookie of the Year.
