March Madness 2011 is upon us, with the first play-in games scheduled for tonight. There are March Madness bets galore and no place is better to experience the Madness than in Las Vegas.

While in Vegas visit the OSGA Girls outside of Bally’s. They will be there from 2 to 6 PM (local time). You get to do more than just say “Hi” to Heather and Hannah, you get to scan them! Anyone with a smartphone and a QR reader app can “scan” the QR codes on the OSGA girls’ clothing to instantly receive the exclusive OSGA Insider Betting Guide to March Madness on their phone, and be entered to win a 1979 NCAA Championship photo autographed by Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. The OSGA Girls will be wearing custom-made clothing featuring strategically placed QR codes. Only people who “scan” the girls between two and six o’clock are eligible to win the signed photo, valued at $550.00. Head to the entrance of Bally’s where the walkways from the Flamingo and Bellagio converge to scan our girls.

Participants at Bally’s will get a copy of the OSGA NCAA Tourney Betting Guide featuring great info from Statfox. For those of you not fortunate enough to get to Las Vegas for March Madness you can still download this great guide from the OSGA website. Go to http://www.osga.com/MarchMadness2011/OSGATournamentGuide2011.pdf to download this excellent publication.

For the vast majority of us that cannot get out to the desert, the online gambling community pulls out all of the stops for the Tourney. It is the single biggest betting event of the year. It is not the biggest day, that would obviously be the Super Bowl, but the biggest single event with over 36 games just this week and a myriad of daily and future props to bet on. You can find both huge bonuses and giant contests online.

If you are looking for a cash bonus SBG Global offers their 30% ‘no gimmick’ bonus. The Greek will give you their standard 21% cash bonus and sister company BetJamaica gives a standard 20% Cash Bonus, plus adds in a $50 Free on deposits of $300 or more. There are free Play bonuses. Betmania is offering a 40% Free Play PLUS a $50 wager on any first round game. At WagerWeb, if you bet all of the games you get a 100% Free Play on every deposit you make during the tourney. And there are the hybrid offers. Diamond Sports is offering up a 20% Freeplay Bonus up to $2500 + 1 Free March Madness Bracket Entry. This same offer is available at Bookmaker.

Bracket entries are everywhere. BetUS has a 5 million dollar one, there is a $1,000,000 Madness of March Contest at SBG Global and another great contest for big money at BetJamaica. Bodog has their own unique bracket spin; Pick your favorite team and earn casino points as that team advances in the tourney.

Here at OSGA we are having our 10th Annual NCAA Tourney Pool. The contest is bigger than ever with a $1000 Grand Prize up for grabs. In addition players in spots 1-10 will receive cash or free plays at BetOnline ($200) or Just Bet ($100). In addition, this year features a consolation prize for players who brackets bust early. If any 1 of your Final Four teams fail to make the Sweet 16, players will be eligible for a $25 Free Bet from BetBadlands.com.

Finally, we have some great articles from our in-house writers and a couple of trivia quizzes to get you ready for the Big Dance. Check out the Madness here. If you like to get some NCAA Betting Tips or find more about George Mason or “Why Duke Sucks” check out the informative and humorous articles from our writers. Test your March Madness tiriva knowledge with the March Madness #1 Seeds Quiz, March Madness Final Four Trivia and March Madness Cinderella Trivia.
