Teams with the best chances
The odds for the NCAA Basketball title have been varying greatly in recent days. Initially, the clear favorite to win the competition was the Arizona Wildcats. In the last edition of March Madness, the team achieved relatively good results, reaching the Final Four and being eliminated by the champions, Duke. Now, the team is even better and is therefore considered the team to beat. Currently, the team leads the Big 12 conference with 10 wins and one loss in the conference and 23 wins and one loss overall.
Recently, the odds have evened out, and at times, the Michigan Wolverines have even surpassed Arizona as favorites. Now, the two teams’chances of winning the title are practically equal. This is the big surprise of the season, especially considering Michigan's performance in the last edition. However, the team currently leads the Big Ten conference with 13 wins and only one loss, and 23 wins and one loss overall.
In third place are the Duke Blue Devils. The team, which is the current NCAA champion, has maintained its good form and is in first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference with 11 wins and 1 loss, with 22 wins and 2 losses overall. Tied with Duke are the Houston Cougars. The team is just behind the favorites, Arizona, in the Big 12 Conference, and overall has 22 wins and 2 losses.
One team that is surprisingly not highly rated by bookmakers, but is worth mentioning, is the Saint Louis Billikens. The team has 11 wins and no losses in the Atlantic 10 conference, and 23 wins and only one loss overall. Still, the team is not among the top 10 favorites to win the title on betting platforms.

Basic tips for better betting on March Madness
If you are interested in adding the excitement of sports betting to March Madness, it is important to follow a few tips. As the games are knockout matches and therefore there can be big surprises, it is best not to bet on the winner of the match, but rather on other factors that are more easily predictable.
By analyzing the statistics for the entire season, it is possible to have a high success rate in markets such as total points, total points per quarter, and individual player statistics – points, rebounds, blocks, assists, and even shots – always with Over/Under bets.
If you are interested in long-term betting, i.e., on the winner of the championship, a good idea is to use the cashout strategy. You can bet on the winner and, as they advance in the playoffs, you can withdraw your bet and keep a relative share of the profit, regardless of what happens from then on.
