Don’t you just love to look at the March Madness NCAA basketball Tournament brackets the moment they are released? Can’t you just wait for the NCAA Tournament selection shows on CBS and ESPN? If you are like many college basketball fans you love March Madness and the especially the brackets. How do you go about making money on March Madness brackets and what things do you look for in your gambling?
The first thing to remember when gambling on March Madness is that no team is ever as good as they look. This is March Madness and every team has a chance to cover the spread and many have a chance to win outright. Only the #16 teams have no chance to win. The #15 teams don’t have much chance either but once in a while you will see a #14 see win and we know that #12 seeds win all the time. Don’t ever fall in love with favorites during March Madness. That is your first big tip.
The second thing to remember as you gamble on March Madness or fill out the brackets is that strong conferences do well. If a conference was good during the regular season they are likely to be strong in the postseason. For example, if the ACC got six teams into the tournament and a few of them were in the top 25 it is a good possibility those college basketball teams will do well. Conversely, if a NCAA basketball conference got only three teams in when they should have been stronger, then they may struggle. You can also look at Thursday results in terms of which conferences did well and sometimes forecast games for Friday.
Another tip to remember about March Madness is that as the tournament progresses teams tend to start to relax and play to form. What this means is that the top teams begin to show. You don’t have as many upsets after the first weekend. The better basketball teams start to show through and that also means that favorites tend to do better as the tournament goes along. Blindly taking underdogs that worked well early in the tournament is not as profitable later when teams are playing up to their potential.
March Madness is a great time for sports bettors. The brackets are great to look at, fun to bet and very interesting to fill out. Hopefully you will have a successful season both in picking your NCAA college basketball teams and in betting the games as March Madness begins.
