Betting on March Madness at bet365

The evening window of the Round of 64 features eight games, including four potential upsets. No. 4 seeds Duke and Alabama and No. 5 seeds Wisconsin and Saint Mary's aim to avoid an upset. Among those teams, I'd put Alabama at the biggest risk.

The Crimson Tide lead the country with 90.8 PPG. Their offense loves to run fast and hoist three-pointers. When they're falling, I truly believe Alabama can compete with anyone in the country. However, a cold shooting night combined with a bad defense could lead to an early exit.

Alabama matches up with No. 13 Charleston in tonight's game. bet365 Sportsbook has the Cougars as a 9.5-point underdog, but they have a chance to pull the upset and advance to the Round of 32.

• bet365 Bonus Bet: Charleston ML (+375)

Believe it or not, three teams attempt more three-pointers than Alabama. One of those is Charleston, and a hot shooting team is a great recipe for an upset in March Madness. There's a reason the point total is on pace to be the highest in over 20 years.

The three-point variance could lead to a 30-point victory for Bama, or Charleston could pull off the upset. I'm willing to take a chance on the Charleston ML (+375) with my bonus bet. Check out our NC sportsbook bonus guide to learn more about the best approach to using bonus bets.

bet365 allows you to wager any amount for your bonus. A $30 bonus bet on the Charleston ML gives us a payout of $112.50.
