Introducing the first-ever NCAA Tournament Pick 'Em Contest!

The NCAA Tournament.

March Madness.

The Big Dance.

The NCAA Tournament, by any name, is the most exciting event in all of sports*.

*I'm a UConn alum, so I'm as biased as it gets. But I stand by my statement. As does the legendary Dickie V.

Filling out brackets is a tradition anyone and everyone can enjoy. Calling the big upsets can earn you bragging rights. Losing your champion in the first weekend is simply an inevitable rite of passage.

But after you fill out your bracket and the chaos begins, you just sit back, relax, and watch.

Now don't get me wrong, I love that just as much as, if not more than, anyone else. But if you lose your winners early on, you're all but done.

What if a tournament contest could go just a little longer, even if you get a few picks wrong?

Well, now it can.

Introducing the first-ever NCAA Tournament Pick 'Em Contest.

Punch your very own ticket to the big dance in this brand-new tournament-long Pick 'Em Contest!

Instead of picking the entire bracket all at once, you'll make your picks round-by-round and bet** via quick picks throughout the tournament.

**This contest will use BettingPros quick picks when placing your "bets". All picks are for tracking and entertainment purposes only and do not include real money wagers or payouts.

Example using conference tournament games

As the tournament goes on, you'll be chasing upsets of your own. Climb the leaderboard and win your share of thousands of dollars worth of prizes.

Pick the outright winner or bet against the spread - it's completely up to you.

Here's a quick rundown on how the contest works:

  1. Register for the NCAA Tournament Pick 'Em Contest before the tournament begins on March 20th. The first four games will not be counted toward this contest.
  2. Place your quick picks on tournament games. Place bets on the moneyline or against the spread, wagering 1, 2, or 3 units.
  3. Rinse and repeat as the tournament goes on.
  4. Profit! There are thousands of dollars worth of prizes up for grabs.

Unlike a traditional bracket contest, you can continue to bet on teams before the start of each game, even if you "lost" on a team previously. If you run into an unlucky stretch, don't worry - there are both tournament-long prizes and prize-winners for each round. Plus, who doesn't love an underdog story this time of year?

Even if your initial bets don’t pan out, you can make new picks every round. There's a saying in the tournament: survive and advance.

If you're in the game, you've got a chance.

No experience needed. This contest is the perfect opportunity to explore and learn about sports betting without any of the risk.

If you just want to hop in: any time you make a quick pick selection, you'll see how much your wager (1, 2, or 3 units) would win. We'll do the calculations - you just pick the winners.
