Do you have a strategy for filling out the March Madness bracket? This is one of the most exciting times of the year for the college basketball bettor. It doesn't hurt to start thinking about how you can win that bracket contest.
Are you tired filling out your sheet every year only to be disappointed with your picks after only a couple of rounds? You might need to change your strategy this year. Here is a good method to use.
Just think for a moment about what makes this tournament different from the regular season. The first thing you should note is that each team will be facing other teams they have never faced before from different conferences. The second thing you will notice is that the teams from the stronger conferences tend to perform better than the teams from a weaker conference.
Here is what you should do. Write down the conferences and count the number of teams from each one. A conference with many teams in the tournament usually will indicate a stronger conference.
You must beware of a team with a good season record, but is the only team representing their conference. This will usually mean their good record came from the weak conference they were in.
What you will need to do is to weigh each teams record according to the strength of the conference they played in. This will give you a much better perspective about a teams chances to advance in the tournament.
It also doesn't hurt to do a little research on the teams in the tournament. It's hard to know everything about every team unless you do it for a living. There are many sources of information online that you can refer to when the teams are announced. Some examples are ESPN, The Sporting News, USA Today, etc. All of these sources have websites and previews for March Madness.
By now you should be able to fill out your bracket with a whole new perspective. There will always be some early round surprises, but you should have some good success using this strategy. Maybe this will be the year you will win your March Madness bracket pool.
