The March Madness betting oddsmakers are not just masters of setting up March Madness betting lines that will attract attention and money on both sides of a game but they are also even better and more skilled experts at setting traps for the unsuspecting and, unfortunately, all too typical player.

While the March Madness betting oddsmakers start with the same tools that many in sports handicapping utilize such as power ratings, statistics and a mountain of statistical data they will also take into account situation data and factors such as motivation, emotion, revenge, and other intangibles when making the opening March Madness betting lines.
