March Madness is the best time of year for sports betting enthusiasts. The NCAA Men’s basketball tournament is referred to as March Madness and it has proven over the last decade to be a huge time for betting on sports. Besides the Super Bowl, March Madness brings in the most bets of any event out there. March Madness betting consists of games during the whole month of March and some into April. The first round of games features basketball games being played nearly ALL DAY for 4 days straight. Betting on all or most of these games is a fun way to interact with what is going on in the March Madness tournament. The second round, played on the next weekend is the round of 32. Betting is available for every game during this round as well. The Sweet Sixteen is a common phrase for the 3rd round. Then comes the Elite 8 and finally is the “Final 4”. Betting on the Final 4 is a huge deal as well and there are typically prop bets available for this phase of March Madness. The National Championship game probably brings in some of the largest March Madness bets as it’s only one game instead of several spread out over an entire weekend.
