No Caitlin Clark Means Little Interest in Betting Women’s NCAA Tournament

One bookmaker says there aren’t nearly as many people betting on NCAA Women’s Basketball this year compared to last year.

“It’s been night and day in terms of tickets and volume…we aren’t writing as many bets and we aren’t taking as much money,” SportsBetting Trading Director Robert Cooper said. “We definitely miss Caitlin Clark and the attention she brought to the sport.”

Cooper said that the women’s basketball handle (total money wagered) is “about half of what it was last year.”

Iowa was a No. 1 seed in last year’s tourney, but the Hawkeyes 

SportsBetting has odds for both the women’s and men’s NCAA tournaments, which you can find below.

Here are a few notable nuggets when comparing the two sets of numbers:

NCAAW more spread out at the top with six teams with better than 10/1 odds while NCAAM only have four teams better than 10/1 odds.

That said, the dropoff from the top tier is much more pronounced in NCAAW as after Top 6 the next-best teams have 33/1 odds while 10 NCAAM teams have better than 33/1 odds.

Half of the 68 NCAAW teams have 500/1 odds or worse while 24 of the NCAAM teams are 500/1 or worse.
