March Madness betting markets primarily focus around the moneyline, spread or handicap and over / under total points options.

However, you aren't just limited to those markets with Player Props, Parlays and much more available from the top sportsbooks in Florida. 

The money line is betting on which team will win, also known as win or win line. There is no option for a draw in the March Madness so the money line is a two way market in which you bet on one team to win which includes overtime. 

The spread market is more commonly known as a handicap or the line. Bookmakers will assign one team a positive (+) or negative (-) spread, line or handicap and the bettor bets to cover the line.

Let’s use an March Madness game between Illinois vs Drexel as an example. If Drexel start with a +22.5 point spread and you bet on Drexel, they need to win the game or lose by less than 23 points in order for your bet to win.

On the other side of the coin, Illinois would be assigned a -22.5 point spread meaning they would need to win by 23 or more points in order for your bet to be a winner.

For the Over / Under Total Points, bettors can wager on the total amount of points scored in a game by both teams. The bookmakers will set a line, let’s say 143.5 points and you can bet on the total points scored by both teams going over or under that total. 

March Madness is the annual NCAA College Basketball tournament with the winners of the knockout tournament being crowned national champions.

A seeded bracket determines which teams will play each other throughout the tournament, with the intention of keeping the elite teams away from each other until the final few rounds of the knockout competition.

The first round consists of 64 teams and a knockout tournament whittles down the field.

The last 16 teams in the competition are referred to as the Sweet 16, with the quarter-final round being called the Elite Eight.

The semi-finals of March Madness are known as the Final Four, with the final of the tournament the NCAA Championship Game.
