Tip #5: Choose a 1, 2, or 3 seed to cut down the nets

It’s fun to pick Samford or McNeese State to win it all. However, lower level seeds almost never win the National Championship. 3 seeds almost never win the title. Most of the time, a 1 or 2 seed cuts down the nets. Don’t waste energy looking for the on 12 seed that takes it all the way to the trophy. Instead, choose a 1 or 2 seed and bet on that team to win the title. Also pick a 1 or 2 to win it on your brackets.

Tip #6: Teams with a great backcourt usually excel in the tournament

Guards rule in the NCAA Tournament. For as along as the NCAA Tournament has been around, this has been the case. 2024 will be no different. Teams like Purdue could be in for a rude awakening versus terrific guard led squads like Utah State. Kansas is struggling at the guard position, which is why the Jayhawks limp into the tournament.

Tip #7: Keep parlays to a max 4 teams

Putting too many teams into parlays is a recipe for disaster. The betting lines aren’t solid because no oddsmakers in the world has enough energy to visually watch every team in the NCAA Tournament. Also, coaches and players don’t know their opponents well. Keep parlays to a max four teams and even a four team parlay is tough to hit in the Big Dance.
