  The 2018 March Madness is on, folks, get your brackets ready! It might help with this year’s March madness bracket, if one were to consult the betting odds posted on the basketball tourney at the online sportsbooks. And the betting sites wasted no time posting their odds on the 2018 NCAA March Madness, with a few clear top teams, if the money line is to be an indicator on who would be the next champion. Without wasting any time, let’s dive into what the oddsmakers consider to be the leading college basketball teams.

 No surprise to the informed punter, among the sportsbook this year’s favorite NCAA team to sit atop the bracket is Villanova, who are holding +570 at 5Dimes to win the tournament and +600 at Bovada Sports. Actually, Villanova are favorite at all betting sites and Vegas sportsbooks, the only difference being the actual money line, as it is apparent from the odds noted above. Considering Bovada Sports is currently the online sportsbook with the most beneficial odds for the bettor (the highest payout), let’s take a look at their money line on the possible champions of the 2018 March Madness.

 We already mentioned that Villanova are the leading team on the betting slip to win the competition, who are followed closely by Virginia, listed at +650 on busting the bracket in 2018. Duke is the third team and the final with odds in the triple digits – from then on, Michigan State coming in with +1100 (meaning a payout of $1,100 for every $100 wagered) and so on, and we have the possibility for quite the winnings for the lucky bettors this year. Overall, great odds for anyone who plans on wagering on the March Madness this year and wins. And as we previously discussed, the overall position, according to the odds makers at the sportsbooks, of the various teams on the tournament aren’t that much different, only the money line differs. For example, at 5Dimes Villanova are paying out on +570, followed by Virginia at +620 and Duke, like other bookmakers, paying on +800. Michigan States’ odds of winning the 2018 March Madness are a tad better here at +925 and the full list of odds on the March Madness are available at the respective sportsbook website.
