Sports Betting on March Madness – Are you looking for betting tips that never go out of style? Instead of looking for information about which team has an advantage over another, do you want tips for betting that are always true? Sports change. The ways that we bet on them change. But, there are some fundamental pointers that you should always keep in mind. That’s true when you’re betting March Madness this year or any other.
As of this writing, we’re a long way from the Madness. However, these tips will serve you no matter what time of year or when you read this.
Respect the Bankroll and Management
“Never bet more than you can afford to lose” is the golden rule of the betting. It’s the most important one, the rule that supersedes all others. That said, “have a bankroll separate from your bank account and respect it” might very well be rule number two.
Really, this is an extension of “never bef more than you can afford to lose.” In fact, you could rename your “bankroll” as “money I can afford to lose.” By making it separate from your bank account, you eliminate any temptation to bet money that you need for your mortgage, rent, bills, and so forth.
Find The Best Promos
Every sport has plenty of promos that you can find online. The bigger the event, the bigger the promos as well as the bigger the promo selection. This is absolutely true of the Madness. Yes, we all know that we can bet on the brackets, etc.
But, if you really feel strongly about your bracket, then find a promo that allows you to “go big” with it. That means finding one with the biggest purse, the most people, etc. March Madness is the kind of sporting event that, frankly, places are going to use to get folks in the door.
Here at BetNow, we have a wide, wide range of promos going all throughout the Madness. From the very beginning to the very end, you can find so many promos here, you’re due to find one that absolutely fits your needs.
By That Same Token, Find the Right Bets
The Madness can be the most fun event to bet on in the world when your bracket is good. Yes, it’s great to see your bets come in in any sport, for sure. However, there’s something especially satisfying about seeing it happen in your bracket, when you see one team after another win. But, that does mean if your bracket gets busted, you could be out of the betting.
That’s where we come in. Here at BetNow, we offer plenty of different bets throughout the tournament. You can bet on each of the individual games here, game by game, as opposed to the bracket. With that in mind, just as you would “shop around” to find the best promos, shop around for the best bets, too.
For example, by the time we get to the Sweet Sixteen, you’ve already seen quite a bit of each of these teams. You know which team is a true Cinderella (I.E. they maybe got a bit lucky) versus a team that’s only called a Cinderella because they hadn’t been seen nationally before (but is actually pretty good).
So, look through our site to find the best bets on teams throughout the later rounds of the tournament. Paradoxically, if your bracket has been busted, you very well may be more qualified to pick the winners in this manner. After all, you’ve seen what these upset teams can do and you can plan your bets accordingly.
As Legs Feed the World, Research Feeds the Bets
The phrase “legs feed the wolf” is now a popular sports cliche. The idea is that a wolf can only eat if their legs are strong, as their legs allow it to catch prey. If there’s something wrong with the wolf’s legs, then the leg won’t eat. Same goes for athletes: without strong legs/speed, athletes won’t be able to succeed. That’s how you should think of research in betting.
The more you research, the better off you’ll be. That doesn’t mean that you’ll win every bet that you put copious amounts of research into. What you will do, however, is give yourself a better chance than you would have had if you did less to little to no research whatsoever.
More Than March Madness: Tips for Responsible Sports Betting Year Round
Many of these tips that we mentioned above are applicable to betting on the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments, yes. However, as you can probably tell, these bets will serve you regardless of what sport you’re betting on. To see all of the different sports that you can bet on at our site, come visit BetNow.
