Introduction
- With March Madness in full force, brackets have been filled out and sports fans are looking to lay down a few bucks on their favorite teams. But how does one go about betting on the NCAA tournament? And how can you go about it legally?
Step 1: Check Out the Odds
- The first step is deciding who you're going to bet on. There are different types of bets to choose from.
- A line bet goes against the point spread. This means a team must win by a certain number of points for you to win the bet.
- If the point spread is eight points and the team you bet on wins by four, you do not win the bet.
- This cuts down on people placing large amounts of money on teams that seem to be a sure thing to win.
- A money bet is simply a bet on who will win the game.
- Placing a money line bet on a favored team will mean you must risk more money to win less.
- Don't forget there are always upsets in the NCAA tournament—betting on the underdog is riskier, but can be more exciting!
- There are many other betting options, such as betting on the total points scored in a game (often referred to as the over/under) or betting on who will win the whole tournament.
Step 2: Find a Legal Betting Outlet
- Gambling is illegal in most of the United States. If you are interested in placing some bets, you must find a way to do it legitimately or you could be getting yourself into some trouble with the law.
- Sports betting is only legal in Nevada, Delaware, and Oregon.
- Las Vegas is where most people go to bet on sports.
- While many people take part in office pools for March Madness, this is technically an example of illegal gambling and can even get you fired from your job.
- Online gambling sites try to take advantage of vague gambling laws, but the general consensus is that they are illegal.
