March Madness is an American institution. Only the NBA’s final four will beat this basketball tournament for fan fanaticism, television market share and, of course, the most wagers place on the game of round ball. Still, before you get ready to make a friendly wager or put down your life savings on which basketball team will emerge on the top of the heap, it will pay to do a bit of research on which team(s) really has the best chance to make to the finals.
Betting on sports can be a lot of fun, and betting on basketball during the Month of March can be out of this world. Still, you don’t want to throw money away. You may love your team, but if you know in your heart they’re going to choke again, you probably ought to bet on a team with better odds. Odds for the upcoming tournament can be obtained through any local bookie (where book making is legal) or through on-line sports betting websites. Be sure to look for which has the best odds for your pick. After all, if your local guy is giving three to one but the website offers four? You’d be smarter to place that bet on line and earn more for your win!
If you’re thinking of betting on line and are not already registered with one of the sports betting websites, get busy. You’ll need to register up front, and in most cases, either transfer money or use your credit card set up an account. Just like with any bookie, the on-line guys will charge you a percentage of your winnings, and maybe a registration fee, as well. It’s always smart to shop around. Then, once your best are placed, sit back with a cold one, some pizza and the gang. Rooting on your team is more fun when, if they win, you win, too!
