We are in the calm before the storm, which is the final few hours before the 2024 version of March Madness gets started with the First Four games. Once those games have been played, we will finally know the full bracket for this year’s tournament. That said, there are already enough matchups in place to start thinking about how you’re going to start wagering on each game. There are going to be some rather obvious wagers that you can make now, but there are others that are sure to be a little more problematic. Should you take a chance on those games or stick with the low-hanging fruit? In the end, how you wager is entirely up to you, but the following strategies are something you may want to consider.

Choose Your Wagers Wisely

I understand that March Madness is exciting and that having action in every single game can be alluring. The reality, though, is that putting money on every game is potentially the quickest way to drain your bankroll. If you are on the fence about a particular matchup and how it might play out, that might well be a game that you should skip in favor of one where your confidence level is high. Wager wisely and stick to the games where you are confident about the outcome.

Ignore The Experts

Every pundit and so-called college basketball expert is going to have their opinion on how the bracket will play out. Historically speaking, how many of those experts have delivered a perfect bracket? The short answer is none. Yes, they may have some insight that you might not be aware of, but that is information that you should use in conjunction with your own data as opposed to having it completely change your opinion on the outcome of a game.

Home Court Advantage Still Exists

This may seem like something of a nonsense statement when you consider that the games are all played at neutral venues, but it is still a thing. You are going to have games where teams who have to travel halfway across the country to get there will be going against teams that simply had to take a short bus ride to get to their destination. While it is certainly not a true home court advantage, it is still something that needs to be factored in when it comes time to start handicapping the games. Just don’t make it your sole reason for playing one team over another.

Covering The Spread Matters

This is a strategy to keep in mind when you get into the later rounds. The teams that eventually go on to win the National Championship also tend to do well against the spread. Again, this is not the only factor to take into account, as the teams that win also tend to be balanced on both sides of the court. If you look at the period between 2018 and 2021, the three teams that won the National Championship covered the spread in roughly 68% of their games. Be on the lookout for teams that are winning big in games where they are highly favored, while also covering in games projected to be close.
