House edge? WNBA coming up Aces with team in Las Vegas

Gamble in any casino in Las Vegas and the house always has an edge. So why should the new WNBA team in Sin City be any different?

No, we’re not talking about the so-called “Vegas Flu” that afflicted some hockey teams that came to play the Golden Knights during the just-completed NHL season.

The Aces have the advantage of a scheduling anomaly this season that gives them six home games when their opponent is finishing off a back-to-back. That’s over a third of Las Vegas’ home contests this year. The next closest team is Washington with three such games.
