2009 March Madness Betting Overview
March Madness betting starts, in fact, with conference tournament action. The March Madness betting line is challenging to figure due to high public interest. March Madness betting has become the hottest thing in sports wagering next to the Super Bowl.
The first four days of the NCAA tournament are one of the busiest and most heavily booked on the Las Vegas Strip as March Madness betting has become a world wide phenomenon.
That is why for a serious college basketball handicapper March Madness betting can be such a challenge because all of that public money is not based on a great deal of in depth college basketball knowledge.
March Madness betting often comes down to “name brand teams” such as Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, UCLA, and Kansas. The March Madness betting line on such teams is often a poor value since the street is loaded with heavy money on these teams that the public easily identifies with.
It is often a good March Madness betting value to oppose these teams and take the extra added value of their opponents on the board. If there is one thing that we can learn from March Madness betting in the past is that you should expect the unexpected.
Many teams will come out of nowhere and catch fire during March Madness betting season.
All it takes is a hot hand and a cold opponent and all of a sudden a team that was written off for nothing can be a serious March Madness betting contender. A good rule of thumb is to look first to the dog on the March Madness betting line.
While you cannot always take the dog without further research keep in mind that many of the lesser known teams or the mid majors, especially when going up against the popular powerhouse teams with name recognition, will be getting more points than what is actually merited.
