The Giffen Guide to March Madness | NCAA Tournament 2023

Action Network predictive analyst Nick Giffen has been betting March Madness seriously for almost a decade, and has developed a fun, simple way for gamblers to approach betting the bracket. Leveraging his data background (Nick has has a math Ph.D. from NC State), he identifies eight teams each season to target for a uniform, moneyline rollover approach. If any of these teams reach the Elite 8, the system is profitable. If more than one makes it? It's a bonanza. Either way, following his approach is a simple way to limit your liability, while providing a high enough ceiling to get your blood pumping over several days this tournament. Listen in as he identifies his eight teams for the 2023 NCAA Tournament, and bet along with Nick for what should be an exhilarating ride through March. Learn more about your ad choices.
