In case you are not familiar with betting college basketball, the two most common bets are spread bets and over under bets. Spread bets basically sets a point spread by which the favorite team will win by. You can either bet the underdog to cover the point spread or the favorite to cover (score more points than) the spread. The other bet is an over under bet. The sportsbook place and total amount of points expected between the two teams. You just choose to pick over or under the total points amount.

Currently there are already March Madness Odds on who will win the NCAA Basketball Championship. Kansas is the favorite so far to win the entire tournament, followed by Syracuse, Kentucky, and Villanova.

Enjoy March Madness and good luck with your picks! Remember to avoid those prop bets and stick to the basic bets if you want to win money consistently during the tournament.
