Sports betting March Madness is broken down into three phases, which are the conference tournaments, the NIT, and the NCAA “Big Dance.” The post season conference tournaments offer both sports betting challenges and opportunities. Sports betting gamblers know that in many ways the conference tournaments are a “second chance” for teams that had subpar regular seasons and still have NCAA tournament aspirations.
For the other teams that won their regular season conference titles, the conference tournaments are often an irritant that can have an adverse affect on their seedings in the “Big Dance.” Online sports betting gamblers know that for mid-major teams, conference tournaments are especially dangerous as their regular season accomplishments can go right down the drain if they stumble in the conference tourney, and with it, their NCAA bid.
The “Big Dance” has grown to rival the Super Bowl in popularity and the first two rounds are the most heavily booked dates at Vegas hotels outside of the Super Bowl. From a sports betting perspective, the NCAA tournament is an incredible challenge in which the online sports betting lines are altered because of increased public activity from gamblers that do not take part in college basketball sports betting in the regular season. Many of the better known traditional power type programs are made overlays by the sports betting oddsmakers as a result. The NCAA Tournament is more than just a few games. It is nearly a month of great sports betting action.
The NIT is the post season tournament of “left overs” that didn’t make the NCAA tourney. Teams will often use the NIT as a springboard for the season to come and for small schools, the NIT is big time. It is also a different sports betting opportunity for bettors since, unlike the NCAA Tournament where the games are at neutral sites, teams will be playing home and away games.
March Madness is such an exciting time for online sports betting gamblers. There is nothing better than March Madness sports betting lines for many gamblers around the world.
