What Prop Bets Can I Place For March Madness?
One of the most common prop bets you can place during March Madness is on the total points a player will score. Betting on a player rather than a team is a great way to cash in on expert knowledge and detailed research into player matchups. Many other prop bets are available in each March Madness game, including player rebounds, assists or a combined total of all of the above. The beauty of prop betting is the niche nature of the markets, breaking down a game, player-by-player to make a wager based on expert knowledge and analysis.
