We’re getting closer to the best time of the year for watching sports. In this case, we are talking real deal NCAA basketball. Division one plays their individual conference tournaments this week and then we have selection Sunday. Will Syracuse take down a National Championship or will a Cinderella bite some heads off this year like George Mason did a few years back.

No matter if you watch basketball or not, the NCAA tournament bracket competition is one of the most well known events that everyone can bet on fairly. Office pools, school pools, friends, it doesn’t matter, you will find some action as long as you know a couple of people.

If by chance you don’t know anyone running a tournament pool, then a great place to look is at Bodog.com. This year they are offering all there members a free buy-in into the March Bracket madness. The winner of the Free Bracket Buster contest at Bodog will take home $5000 in cash and prizes while the top 250 people will also win some kind of prize. The cool thing is, you don’t need an entrance fee. It is free to enter. You have nothing to lose at this point.

Figuring out who to pick is the fun part and most likely you will not get every pick right, but if you can find that one diamond in the rough, you may be able to make the run into the top 250. To sign up today all you have to do is head over to Bodog.com. Remember don’t be afraid to pick some good upsets. Every years there is a good nail bitter, so hang on.
