March Madness Betting - The time of year where the NCAA whittles a field of hundreds of different College Basketball teams down to 64 final competitors for the Division IA Championship. This is a thrilling time for sports bettors and basketball fans alike: Office pools, fantasy leagues, and sports commentary shows are chock full of NCAA basketball analysis and announcements. The tournament is one of finest spectacles in all of sport: with exciting upsets, unexpected winners, and more drama than a Shakespeare play.

As Dick Vitale would say "It's madness baby!!!", and indeed it is: The NCAA National Basketball tournamanet, March Madness Betting, and all the thrills make for some of the most exciting sports moments of the year. Whether you're betting in your office pool, among friends, or at a sportsbook, March Madness bracket betting is truly exciting, unpredictable, and sometimes even profitable.

This year, we recommend that you try March Madness betting at an online sportsbook, mostly because a sportsbook offers you a lot more excitement and winning potential than the office pool at your place of work. Nearly every sportsbook worth its salt runs a number of March Madness betting promos, including Bracket pick contests, Selection Sunday props, and deposit bonuses for players that want to bet throughout the whole tournament. Most importantly, you can win a lot more money playing online: some "perfect bracket" contests offer prizes in excess of $1 million dollars, a truly life changing win that could turn your March Madness Betting into March Madness Money!.

What are the best March Madness bets? Speaking from a conservative angle, parlay bets on the top seeds, or straight bets on top seed games are usually money well spent. Most all #1 seed and #2 seeds make it past the first round, except for a few rare exceptions. As a result, a good 4 team March Madness parlay would be picking all the #1 seeds to advance, or, a combination of the #1 and #2 seeds. If you're feeling lucky, you might also try an 8 team parlay on all the #1 and #2 seeds advancing to round two, although this bet is more risky than a simple 4 team bet on the #1 seeds.

Straight bets on individual contests are also a good way to go. If parlays aren't your thing, and you think you can pick the winners, try just placing bets on individual March Madness matchups as they come up in the tournament. Some people like to bet the #1 team in the East bracket through the Elite 8 (if the team makes it that far), or, if their Alma Mater is in the tournament, some player choose to follow them and bet accordingly on each opponent they face. Overall, it's better to bet March Madness in small chunks than try to win the complete bracket outright. Smart betting and money management could equal a nice payoff in the end, and it allows you to enjoy the entire tournament at a leisurely pace.

What other March Madness betting options are there? Prop bets are also popular, especially if there are any records to be broken by teams or individual players. For example, will Coach K of Duke get his Nth tourney win? Will Player ABC score the most points in Tourney history? Will Bobby Knight make an appearance and hurl a chair across the floor? These and many other prop bets are fun, and in some cases can make you a little extra cash.

When it's all said and done, we hope that your March Madness betting experience was both fun and profitable. Remember, play with your head, not over it: bet smart, and be informed about each game. That way, you can enjoy the tournament ups, downs, and everything in between.
