March Madness is here so what better time of year to bet on sports than now?
There are 4 games in "Round 1", 32 games in "Round 2", 16 games in "Round 3", 8 games in the Sweet 16, 4 games in the Elite 8, 2 games during the Final Four, and the Championship game. If my math is correct, that's 67 games you can win on. (I'm an optimist)
Sports Betting Spot has details on every single sporting event of the day, so if college hoops isn't your thing, they have NHL, NBA, Soccer, Golf - you name it, they'll give you a chance to bet on it.
Give this site a look through and I guarantee you'll find what you're looking for. If I made some money working - I stay at home with my 11-month old son - I'd go through these guys to spice up my viewing experience.
Good luck and happy betting!

Shaka > Shockers; D1 Baseball
11 of 16 on Day 1 of March Madness. I'm in 22nd place out of 30 participants in my pool. It's gonna be an uphill climb.
UNLV, Wichita State, UConn, West Virginia, Long Beach State - thanks for nothing!
I thought the entire time I had Colorado winning in one of my money pools, so I was stoked when they held on for a win againstUNLV. Turns out, I didn't. Runnin' Rebels sucked up my bracket.
The Shockers ofWichita State screwed me too as I had them advancing to the Sweet 16. I guess simple math prevailed - Shaka > Shockers.
UConn and West Virginia just put in uninspired efforts in two lopsided losses to Iowa State and Gonzaga, respectively. Not a great showing for the Big East so far.
The Beach has some freak athletes but the New Mexico Lobos proved too much. Their momentum from running through the Mountain West Tournament certainly hasn't worn off.
Moving on to the baseball diamond.
Northeast Game of the Day
Albany Great Danes (4-8) at St. John's Red Storm (6-9)
St. John's, I believe, began the season as a Top 25 team. They've traveled a lot - this will be their second home game. They've also played some pretty good teams - Liberty, Texas Tech, UNC, Illinois - although they were 0-8 against said teams. They will figure it out once they get settled in and play some games on Utopia Pkwy. in Queens.
Albany has won four of its past six after beginning the season 0-6 but are coming off a 5-4 loss to Central Connecticut. They're scoring just over five runs a game, but the number is skewed - they scored 16 in a W against NY Tech last weekend. They always have a few arms and will certainly be throwing their ace, Zach Kraham, who is a very good pitcher despite his inflated ERA numbers.
VERDICT: St. John's 6, Albany 4
