If you are a fan of NCAA College Basketball, your favorite time of year has arrived. Each year in March the NCAA holds the annual elimination tournament to determine the best College Basketball team in the nation. Thos teams not making it to the big tournament may get a chance to play in the invitational tournament that runs at the same time. There will be over 100 games to watch (and bet on.) during the month and it is the reason they call this "March Madness."

The NCAA Tournament is similar to the Super Bowl because many people who don't normally watch or bet on College Basketball games will take an interest in the games. Many workers will find one or two "pools" they can get join to wager on the entire tournament. Of course there will also be millions of dollars bet on all of the individual games. If you have never bet on a basketball game, here are the basics for betting basketball. In the next few weeks I will be offering some tips for betting the game.
