The NCAA Tournament is Betting Christmas. Or, more appropriately since it carries on over multiple nights without a set date each year, Betting Hanukkah.
Either way, it’s an extended holiday for bettors, who get to see their first wagers of the day pay off by lunch time, depending on what time zone they’re in. The basketball gods are primed to grace our lives with 48 win-or-go-home games in four days. The first four days of the tournament are a betting buffet, with multiple options to sample and plenty of ways to fill up.
How you bet those games will determine whether your meal is a Golden Corral-style grime-and-dine or a prime rib and lobster spread. And, in the interest of helping you chomp down on college basketball’s high society, we’ve called in our biggest reinforcement.
