Big March Madness Business
Aside from the Super Bowl in football, the biggest sports time of the year for Americans is March Madness. The NCAA Men’s Division I basketball series is watched across America – and around the world – to see the best and brightest of today’s college basketball stars.
They also watch to track their bracket picks.
According to the American Gaming Association, this 2023 March Madness will be the most wagered in history with $15.5B on the line. One-fourth of all American adults – that’s about 68M people – plan to wager on the games this year.
Of those numbers, 31M of them will wager online at a retail sportsbook location, or with a private bookie. Another 21.5M will bet amongst friends, without the involvement of a sportsbook or other third party.
Ultimately 56.3M will participate in some kind of bracket contest. That’s a lot of brackets.
