March Madness 2024: Odds, Picks To Win 2024 NCAA Tournament

March Madness: Odds, Picks To Win 2024 NCAA Tournament

The NCAA tournament is right around the corner and now is the time to seek some value in the college basketball futures market before March Madness sets in.

UConn won it all last season, which wasn't very surprising considering they were one of the favorites from the start, but there were plenty of huge upsets along the way that helped some people cash out profit on some future bets they made before before the tournament.

BetQL will have you covered for every game of the NCAA tournament, and we'll also have plenty of March Madness articles out covering the games and certain future bets we like. Below, you will find the latest odds and who we like to win the 2024 NCAA tournament.

Odds To Win 2024 NCAA Tournament

Here are the odds to win the 2024 NCAA tournament from our friends at DraftKings (as of March 25):

Best Value Bet To Win 2024 NCAA Tournament

Clemson (+8500, FanDuel)

Obviously, this is a 85/1 longshot, but I think it is the best pure value on the board right now when it comes to winning the NCAA Tournament. UConn and Houston are massive favorites, and as such, there really isn't a ton of value on their odds anymore as we have narrowed down to the Sweet 16. When the brackets were first released this season, I wrote about how the West region seems much more wide open to me than the other regions.

North Carolina is the worst No. 1 seed in the tourney, as they are even ranked below the No. 2 seed Arizona in the latest KenPom rankings. Even still, I have said for a while now that I am not entirely convinced about the Wildcats either. They allowed Long Beach State to give them a serious challenge for 75% of the game before pulling away in the Round of 64, while Dayton also played them close in the Round of 32.

Clemson is a much better team than either of those opponents. They have already beaten No. 11 New Mexico and No. 3 Baylor, and were underdogs to both of those teams. The combination of PJ Hall and Ian Schieffelin has been unstoppable in the paint, while guard Chase Hunter is starting to make his name known in March.

When picking a team based on value, you always have to look at their path to winning your bet. The West region gives me the most hope for any sleeper or underdog, so Clemson seems like a great choice at this 85/1 figure.

NCAA Tournament Picks

When looking to place a future bet on any sport, the very first thing you have to be looking for is value at the current number that is listed in sportsbooks. Is a team more or less likely to win this bet than the current number says? The same is true when you are looking into placing a bet on the NCAA tournament winner.

College basketball, and especially March Madness, is one of the most wagered-on sports in America. As such, the lines for this sport are going to be super sharp, and it will be very difficult for the average bettor to find value in the listed lines at most sportsbooks. The good news is that you have a team of experts here at BetQL that are combing through these odds every day, looking for the best value possible in every market.

Lines are moving and changing all the time with the money that is coming into sportsbooks, and when that happens, new opportunities open up and close down. Getting the best of the number is imperative when looking to make a long-term profit in sports betting, as well as factoring into any money management system. In this article, our experts will give you their latest best bets throughout the season at the best number available, so you will always have some value waiting at your fingertips for the NCAA tournament.

About BetQL's March Madness Picks

BetQL is the place you go to for NCAA tournament bets, but we also have plenty of other services besides value bets on futures. We have the most advanced college hoops model with a proven track record of winners to get you swimming in the green by the time the season comes to a finish.

The BetQL CBB model will have you covered every day of the season, and every game of the season, with the best bets available on the market right now. It shows you the price of each bet and where to place it at the best price, so you always will get the most value out of every wager you place.

The BetQL college basketball model ranks bets based on a "star-scale" platform, which rates each bet 1-5 stars based on how valuable the wager is. A 1-star bet tells you to stay away, and that there is no value there at the current number, while the higher you go on the scale means more value is to be had. A 5-star bet is the most valuable wager we have, and we would recommend putting a unit on that particular wager. BetQL encourages a wager on 3-star and higher bets, with 3-star being a smaller bet and 5-star being a larger one. We have bets on the spread, total, moneyline and 1st-half of every CBB game, so make sure to check it out as the lines change!

NCAA Tournament History

College basketball's national championship has always been one of the biggest spectacles in the sports world, and we have had some fantastic matchups over the years.

Last season, we saw UConn's dominance over everyone in the field, culminating with a blowout win over San Diego State and Adama Sanogo winning MVP. In 2022, Kansas took out North Carolina, 72-69, in a thrilling comeback led by Ochai Agbaji. After the 2020 tournament was cancelled due to COVID, 2021 saw Baylor claim the title over Mark Few and Gonzaga, 86-70, with Jared Butler winning MVP honors.

In 2019, Virginia defeated Texas Tech in overtime, 85-77, led by Kyle Guy and that stingy Cavs defense after being the first No. 1 seed to lose to a No. 16 seed just one year earlier. Villanova's dominant 2018 season ended with a 79-62 championship win over Michigan, with Donte DiVincenzo winning MVP. And 2017's champion, North Carolina, was led by Joel Berry ll in defeating Gonzaga, 71-65.
