Evaluation: march MADness

March MADness is one of the biggest sport betting events of the year, as many fanatics around the nation will agree. Just as the superbowl betting is, march madness creates the opportunity for huge amounts of money to be bet. I feel every year someone bets their mortage of their house, and some years the select few win and some lose it. The cinderalla teams pose such a great betting appeal because the odds are against them, and all they need to do is surprise a team with a 40 minute performance to change the nation. I feel that the march madness tournament is now the biggest betting sporting event annualy! Between the endless fantasy brackets and single game betting there are endless opportunities to win big or lose it all. How many people reading this article have a bracket set up on yahoo, espn, or even facebook? And of those of you that do, how much have you spent to join it and what's the winning pot size? A simple $5 in the right bracket could end up winning over $100, which is an enormous turn around. Personally, I'm not allowed to bet being an NCAA athlete because it violates some rule, but I envy those that are allowed to join in on the festivities. Watching the games I always root for the underdog, and always will because march MADness is the environment that creates an atmosphere where anything can happen in any game and any time, just ask Davidson College about it. Good luck readers with your brackets.
