The NCAA set up the 64-team competition in 1985 and ever since then the first seeded team has never lost to the 16th seeded team in the first round. That makes a 52-0 record. Second seeded teams have also done well - they've won 95% of the time in the past 20 years. In the 8th versus 9th seed match-ups, the 8th seed has won 58% of games.

For the best March madness bets, experts advise that you make larger plays on games with low point spreads. According to them, it is wiser to win or to lose in a game situation. If you want to fill out your brackets and win the pool you're in, you definitely don't want your bet determined by the plays in the closing minutes (the "garbage time") of a game. Look out for the underdogs too. During the early rounds of March madness, there is traditionally a high number of upsets. It can be worthwhile to examine the match-ups closely. If you find an underdog team that can match-up well, it may prove to be an excellent bet. Now that the Madness has arrived, check out the March Madness expert picks and start filling out your March Madness bracket contest! Bet statistics asides, another expert T.C. Martin, the radio personality and sportswriter recommends that you do some background research during March madness. Investigate the conferences, the teams, the players and especially the turnover of players - those graduating and the high school players coming in to the tournament. In one year, the University of Arizona lost 80% of their starters due to player turnovers. As a result, Arizona didn't even rank in the pre-season top twenty five. The next March madness tournament, they had a line-up of freshmen and sophomores and only one junior player. Arizona went on to become one of the top teams in the country.
