March Madness Brackets
With the NCAA Basketball Tournament's seed selection set for
Sunday, March 12, bettors are preparing for one of the year's
most popular sporting events. Along with its standard NCAA men's
basketball tournament wagers,
Bodog.com is transforming the way March Madness Brackets
games are played around the country.
While bettors keep a close watch on big program favorites such
as Duke, Villanova and UConn, they should also train their eyes
on squads like No. 7 George Washington, No. 3 Memphis and No. 24
Nevada; all teams that have been quietly on the rise in the
NCAA. This year has been a breakthrough of talent from smaller
schools and conferences that continue to excel under the radar.
What's in store for the "Big Dance"?
Bodog.com has the all the odds posted:

What happens when you take a standard office bracket buster,
refine it, and then combine it with a uniquely
Bodog edge? You get a one-of-a-kind March Madness
Brackets game geared toward the fans who want to put their
college basketball predictions to the test.
Unlike other March Madness pools where the picks are made only
at the start of the tournament, the
Bodog.com Bracket Buster ensures that every round is
different and every decision counts. Players select new picks at
the beginning of each round, and are accorded different amounts
of points as they progress throughout the game. Because of this
graduated points system, early mistakes won't destroy their
chances of winning the pool. In other words, anyone can make a
dramatic comeback.
Instead of simply choosing the winners outright, the
Bodog.com Bracket Buster allows players to make their picks
against the spread. This gives a decided edge to those players
who really know their teams.
Players who sign up to play in the
Bodog.com Bracket Buster will qualify for large cash prizes.
In addition to a top prize of US $5,000, Bodog.com will award
prizes right on down to the 15th-ranked player. Also,
Bodog.com will award special US $500 prizes during the first
four rounds of play. So any player who hits a hot streak can
walk away with money in their pocket and, of course, the
invaluable Monday morning bragging rights. To register for the

"As testament to our commitment to continue to innovate and
provide a meaningful experience for the true sports fans, we
have taken a standard office pool and chosen to gear it heavily
towards the sports enthusiasts," says Calvin Ayre, Founder and
CEO of
Bodog.com. "With the addition of the
Bodog.com Bracket Buster, and because of the large growth we
are experiencing in our sportsbook and across all of our
channels, we anticipate that this year's NCAA men's basketball
tournament will be the biggest yet for
Bodog.com."
