The NCAA Men's Basketball Championship is popularly known as March Madness, a
time in the USA when basketball betting mainly in the form of office pools based
on bracket picks is all the rage. 65 college basketball schools qualify for the
2008 tournament, with 33 teams receiving at-large bids. Thirty one of these
schools will get in by winning their respective conference tournaments, so their
identities will only be known at the end of the regular season.
We are highly confident that our
March Madness Power Rankings provide you with 10 automatic bracket picks.
The basketball handicapping experts feel that these ten schools are likely Sweet
Sixteen candidates (although seeding clashes might of course prevent that from
happening). The college basketball teams we have selected range from the
perennial contenders for Final FOur berths such as Duke and North Carolina, to
schools like Kansas and Memphis that are proving to be very tough to beat ATS in
2008, and finally we've added some longshot dark horses like Butler that could
be this year's Cinderella team (like George Mason a couple of years ago).
The NCAA Tournament for 2008 will be the 69th Big Dance as the original
tourney was first played in 1939, although back then it only consisted of eight
teams, and it stayed that way until 1950. The term March Madness came into being
in 1982, and as a reference to the tournament it is generally thought to have
been coined by Brent Musburger.
March Madness mainly refers to the sports gambling frenzy that used to center
around the Las Vegas sportsbooks but is now accessible from your home computer.
Online sportsbooks provide NCAA Tournament odds for every game and as the
bracket is winnowed down to the Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight, and Final Four
stages the betting levels increase substantially.
We'll feature free NCAA Tournament analysis, which will help everyone from
the amateur looking for March Madness bracket picks to the high rollers who want
to put down five dimes or more on each and every game! Sports betting can be
extremely profitable and it is also an adrenaline rush second to none,
especially when it comes to 2008 NCAA Tournament bets.
