March Madness betting in the second round gives you 32 teams to consider. You have all of the #1 seeds remaining and most of the other top seeds. When you make a March Madness bet there are some definite numbers to consider for this round.
March Madness betting has the #1 seeds advancing out of this round almost every time. We know that the #16 seeds have never won so they will already be gone. That means a #1 seed will face the #8 or #9 team in round two. 88% of the time the #1 seed is going to win. The #1 seed has beaten the #8 seed 80% of the time. When the #1 seed faces the #9 seed they win almost every time. They have won an astounding 94.4 % of the time.
The next matchups in March Madness betting have the #4 and #5 seeds facing off most of the time unless a #12 or #13 seed pulled off a first round upset. When the #4 faces the #5 seed in March Madness betting it is almost a dead even game. Since the #12 seeds do win in that first round you will sometimes see them make the second round when you make a March Madness bet. When they are matched up against the #4 seeds they usually lose. The #4 seeds win 61% of the time. When the #5 seed faces the #13 seed they win that game most of the time in March Madness betting. They have won 77% of the time. Every so often the #12 does face the #13 seed and when that happens the #12 team wins almost every time for those making a March Madness bet at 88%.
