Betting Rules for Upcoming March Madness

March Madness is a highly anticipated tournament in professional basketball (photo by SN Illustrations).

For the past six years, the amount of states legalizing sports betting has rapidly increased. 38 states have allowed for some sort of betting on sports; 30 of these states allow for online bets as well. With March Madness being one of the biggest events for this kind of sport betting, there are tips and tricks when betting for who is going to win the big championship. Some states only allow for bets on teams and not individual players. This is because many suspect that individualized betting can lead to harassment of the players, online and in person, as well as affecting the players mental wellbeing.

In Kansas, online betting is legalized, as well as retail sports betting. A person has to be over 21, just like traditional gambling, and the most common apps for online and mobile betting are FanDuel, DraftKings, and Barstool. When betting this year, remember to be careful with the money bet, because it is still gambling and can become addictive and an issue in the future.

Hannah Mueller, Website Manager
Hi, my name is Hannah Mueller and this is my third year in SPUB and I am our website manager this year. I am most excited to continue to write about things that may be taboo but I feel should be talked about! Journalism matters to me because everyone's voice needs a chance to be heard and many topics are important but aren't talked about. Other than journalism, I am heavily involved with theater, especially the tech side, and I also am in Destiny. I enjoy reading and hanging out with my friends. Overall, I am super excited to finish up my time within SPUB and make the most of this year :)
