I’m going a little off topic today…
I always write about MMA betting, but I’m a gambler at heart and betting on March Madness is one of my favorite past times. March Madness kicks off this Thursday, and if you like excitement and gambling, this is one of the biggest days of the year!
Here are a few of my best tips for betting on March Madness in 2010.
1. Where To Bet on March Madness
You can always bet with a neighborhood bookie, but I prefer to bet online. When it comes to March Madness, my favorite betting site would have to be Bodog. Bodog has tons and tons of props on the games in addition to all the regular spreads.
Out of all the online sportsbooks, I think they offer the best odds and they also have a really nice sign up bonuses which gets you some free money! If you’re looking for place to bet on March Madness, I highly recommend checking out Bodog now…
2. Look For The Value In The Underdogs (And A Few Favorites)
This is my big “secret” to making good money betting on underdogs…
In the first round, I see a few nice picks that I think offer a ton of value.
- Baylor -11 over Sam Houston State
I made a bunch of money betting on Baylor this season, and I really think they are VERY undervalued in this game. I think this line should be 4-5 points higher, so getting Baylor at -11 is a hell of a steal for me.
- Murray State +3 over Vanderbilt
Murray State is getting no love from the “experts” in this tourney, and I don’t like it. Murray St. covered a lot of spreads this year, and I think a lot of people are overvaluing Vanderbilt in this spot. Good spot for Murray St.
- Temple -4 over Cornell
Temple is a VERY solid team, that consistently performs and gives other teams trouble. Temple is one of my sleepers for going deep in the tourney, and I think they handle Cornell by 8+ points…
Those are my big picks in the opening round. Now let me get to a big tip that a lot of guys ignore…
3. Stay Away From Teasers
Teasers work in the NFL, but in college basketball they are a nightmare. Honestly I can’t think of a worse time to do a teaser than in the tournament. Anything can happen in March Madness, so a teaser isn’t going to help you much.
Those are my tips for betting on this year’s March Madness tourney. If you’re looking for a sportsbook to bet at, I highly recommend checking out Bodog, that’s where Ill be making my bets.
