Globally trusted sports betting company, Intertops Sportsbook, is the online destination this spring for anything and everything related to March Madness and the Final Four. Bets have been all over the place at Intertops Sportsbook due to the unpredictability of the US college basketball playoffs, but one upset might not spell disaster for the brackets of many.
A manager for Intertops Sportsbook commented, “Early upsets mean that none of our customers had a perfect March Madness bracket, but the $25,000 prize we put up will be split between the top 25 entries.”
This year's Final Four bracket consists of the undefeated Kentucky Wildcats as well as top seeded contenders the Wisconsin Badgers, Duke Blue Devils, and Michigan State Spartans. Despite being undefeated and the odds on favorite, the Wildcats escaped a loss by a narrow margin against Notre Dame in the Elite Eight. The Wildcats are also fighting to avenge a loss last year to none other than Wisconsin late in the playoffs. Wisconsin has proven themselves to be an elite contender for the title thus far.
The second semi-final sees Michigan State face Duke in a battle between two of the highest-profile coaches in the game. Tom Izzo guided number 7 seed Michigan State to the title in the South Regional and believes his Spartans will have the battling qualities to upset Mike Krzyzewski's Duke in their Saturday showdown in Indianapolis.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski's Duke Bluje Devils are also set to battle it out against the formidable Michigan State team led by coach Tom Izzo. Each game is scheduled for this Saturday.
Manager for Intertops Sportsbook had some words to say regarding these playoffs, “We have three number one seeds in the Final Four and a really dangerous underdog.”
“Our players really know their hoops, though. We've had some heavy action on the Spartans to surprise in the South from the word go. Many customers who bet on Michigan State to win it all at odds of +5000 will be facing a nail-biting Easter weekend now!”
Those who may have given up on their brackets do not have to miss out entirely on the action as Intertops is holding a $100 Free Bet competition for those that can correctly predict the new national champion from the Final Four. Further details can be found in Intertop's
