The Caitlin Clark phenomenon hasn’t spared sports bettors.
The Iowa Hawkeyes superstar is the most popular college basketball player to gamble on – on the men’s or women’s side – ahead of this weekend’s Final Four action.
The Over on Clark’s points (33.5), three-pointers (5.5), and assists (9.5) are the three most popular props at BetMGM Sportsbook.
BetMGM reported Friday that Clark’s Over points and Over made 3-pointers are attracting more tickets than any other men’s props.
It’s the second straight round gamblers are betting on a big game for Clark.
In Monday night’s Elite Eight bout between LSU and Iowa, more than 70 percent of bets at BetMGM were on Clark to go Over her points, 3-pointers, rebounds and assists props.
As a team, the Hawkeyes are getting a ton of love from sports bettors as well.
As 2.5-point favorites over the UConn Huskies, Iowa is getting 84 percent of bets and 88 percent of the handle at BetMGM.
Earlier this week, it was reported that nearly a third of tickets (33.2 percent) at BetMGM were on Iowa to win the national championship, which was by far the most at the sportsbook.
Clark’s Final Four props are another sign of women’s college basketball’s growing popularity among sports bettors.
Monday night’s game was the most-bet women’s sporting event in the sportsbook’s history, according to BetMGM.
