College football betting players don’t have a tournament to establish their champion, but if they did, we’re willing to bet that it would take a while to catch up to the excitement of the NCAA basketball tournament, better known as March Madness or The Big Dance. Some changes were made to the opening week of the tournament, and college basketball betting players can rest easy as the NCAA decided to only expand the field by three teams from 65 to 68, instead of the proposed 96.The following NCAA basketball betting tips and news will be helpful to all the sports fans who want to wager through NCAA games.

Before, there was a play-in game between the final two teams in the field to decide who would fill out the field to the official number of 64 teams. But now, there will be an extra three play-in games, and this volley of games will be called “The First Four”, to be held a few days prior to the actual beginning of the NCAA Tournament. There are two reasons for this: one, it’s extra television money for the NCAA, who have three extra games to show, and that means extra cash for them, as well as smaller schools who may not get the exposure and money any other way. Another reason is that it makes it easier for the selection committee, as the bubble conversation dominates the college landscape from about halfway through the conference portion of the schedule. As for NCAA basketball betting players, that means there are three extra games to wager on, which means three more chances to win, and isn’t that all you’re asking for when doing your sports betting online anyway?
