NCAA Office Pool Tips It's become a right of passage between blue collar and white collar alike. Much like the development of fantasy sports, NCAA Tournament office pools have become a linchpin to office unity. Everyone from the brash sports guru to the 65-year-old secretary put their money on the table and take a shot at picking the perfect bracket during those last cold, dreary days of winter each March.
NCAA Conference Tournaments March Madness is the official term of the NCAA Division I-A men's basketball tournament, but the actual madness begins two weeks earlier. The conference tournaments are just as wild, if not wilder. The conference tournaments are completed in three or four days, with some teams playing each day. This is where the Cinderellas get their invites to the ball, where below .500 teams come from nowhere to win championships and the automatic berths that come with it. This is where bubbles are burst or teams earn the right to compete for a national title.
Betting On March Madness As a handicapper whose basis for selections consists almost exclusively on fundamental and situational analysis, I don't change my methods during the frenzied betting period aptly nicknamed March Madness. However, that being said, there are some additional situational factors that apply to this season ending span of college basketball which must be considered, and I'll point out a few along with key fundamental aspects that have delivered success for me in handicapping these games.
