Although betting on colleges and universities in Virginia is not allowed, there are numerous appealing sportsbook offers available for the Big Dance, also known as March Madness.
On Thursday, the 2021 NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament commences with four “play-in games.” Following that, the official first round of the 68-team tournament unfolds with 16 games on Friday and an additional 16 games on Saturday.
This year’s Big Dance features five schools from Virginia. Among them is the University of Virginia, aiming to defend its 2019 championship (due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 tournament was canceled). Additionally, Virginia Tech University, VCU, Liberty University, and Norfolk State University have also secured spots in the competition.
As Virginia’s laws prohibit betting on those teams within its borders, there are alternative offers worth considering as the sports world focuses on college basketball.
DraftKings: Bet $4 to win $256 in the Big Dance
If you are a newcomer to DraftKings, there is a chance to transform $4 into $256 by accurately predicting an upset in the tournament.
Here are the details of the offer: It covers the first two rounds of the tournament, which will take place from March 19th to March 22nd.
- A minimum deposit of $5 is required for your DraftKings Sportsbook account.
- Select the team of your choice from the Sportsbook Promos page and enjoy a remarkable boost with odds of 64-1 (+6400).
- You must select a team that has a lower seed than its opponent, for example, choosing a No. 10 seed instead of a No. 7 seed.
- Before the start of your chosen game, you are required to make your bet.
- The maximum wager allowed is $4, which can result in a potential profit of $256. Each user is entitled to place a single qualifying bet.
- Excluded are live bets, parlays, free bets, cash-out bets, and voided bets.
Many people are favoring No. 13 seed Liberty over No. 4 Oklahoma State University, and there is significant support from experts for No. 10 Virginia Tech against No. 7 Florida. However, it should be noted that betting on Virginia schools is not allowed on VA sports betting apps.
On the other hand, it is worth considering certain schools from neighboring states. The compilation comprises of:
- No. 12 Georgetown University (+5) will be playing against No. 5 University of Colorado.
- The upcoming match is between No. 13 UNC Greensboro, who are the underdogs with a 10.5 point spread, and No. 4 Florida State.
- The upcoming matchup features the 10th-ranked University of Maryland, who are considered the underdogs by three points, against the 7th-ranked University of Connecticut.
