College Basketball March Madness Betting Begins In Bulk This Week

Last week was kind of a slow lead in to the madness that begins today in college basketball. There are already teams that have won some of the smaller conference tournaments and punched their ticket to the big dance.

This week, however, is when the meat and potatoes of the NCAA tournament will be discovered. The big conferences begin their tournaments throughout the week and by Sunday all of the unanswered questions as to who will be dancing will be answered.

Much is at stake as the conference tournaments begin. Some teams will be battling to get that one extra win that will put them in the tournament. Others, like Michigan State and Memphis, will be trying to pad their resume to achieve a number one seed.

The people with the most to lose during all of the madness might be the gamblers. March Madness offers some of the most hectic sports betting that takes place all year. Outside of the Super Bowl, the NCAA tournament is the most gambled on event for sportsbooks.

For many gamblers, this week will be used to try and decipher which of the smaller conference champions can make a run by upsetting higher ranked teams in the tournament. Once that information is processed, the bettors will put their analysis to the test next week.

The regular season is over and the playoffs have begun. For college basketball and gamblers alike, the scene does not get much more exciting than the next couple of weeks.
