Videos by OutKick

March Madness, aka the greatest betting event on the sports calendar, tips off Tuesday with the First Four of the NCAA Tournament 2023 and the Round of 64 Thursday, March 16.

For sports bettors, March Madness is pretty much Christmas. Family and work duties get put on hold because there is wall-to-wall action from Thursday a.m. to Sunday p.m.

Our friends at DraftKings Sportsbook released odds for several NCAA Tournament 2023 games with the exception of one “First Four” game and the teams awaiting the winners of those games.
