MARCHING TO THE TOURNAMENT
At GoSportsBet, we like March a little more than the other months of the year - when else is there THE MOST EXCITING BASKETBALL ANYWHERE, nearly every day for weeks. We love the upsets, we love the bands playing in the stands, we love the win-or-go-home intensity of every game. It's just a great atmosphere, and we can't wait.
Teams are gearing up for the tournament NOW, because Selection Sunday is under a month away, and tournament will be upon us in just four short weeks. For title contenders, these games are where they need to get their systems in order and build momentum heading into the Big Dance.
For teams on the bubble, every game is MUST WIN. Some big names in action this week include North Carolina (against Georgia Tech) and Kentucky (against Georgia). Think both these big-name teams will cash? Maybe try a parlay and get better odds!

This Week: Hansel Wei on Parlays. Read the whole article in Hansel's Zone at GoSportsBet.
Parlays can be one of the most lucrative payouts in sports wagering, but they can
be one of the most frustrating losses too when they narrowly miss. Let’s review the basic
idea of a parlay: the player bets on the outcome of two or more games, and as the number
of teams he picks goes up, so do the odds at which he is paid out. The teams can span a
variety of sports and the events wagered on can take place on different days. GoSportsBet
and other books tend to offer everything from 2- to 12-team parlays, and the more teams
you pick, the greater your potential payouts. However, the catch is that if even one of
your teams loses, the whole parlay is a loss.
Many bettors choose to play a weekly parlay at a low bet. Like a lottery ticket,
many people feel it is worth spending a tiny amount in order to give themselves a chance
at a big payout; unlike a lottery, though, in the case of parlays the player feels that there is
more to picking the winning combination than just luck. GoSportsBet’s minimum bet is
one dollar for a 12-team parlay, and many bettors take advantage of this each week.
The odds of getting 10 or 11 of your picks correct in a 12-team parlay are
naturally much higher than the odds of recording a perfect score. With that in mind, many
books including GoSportsBet have started offering “progressive” parlays. These bets
essentially give you insurance, so that if you miss one or two picks, your card is still a
winner. For instance: a GoSportsBet regular 12-team parlay pays 1,800 to 1 odds if all 12
picks win. A 12-team progressive parlay pays 900 to 1, but if 3 teams out of 12 lose, the
player is still paid out at 3 to 1 odds. If you’re essentially resigned to losing your bet, but
want a slim shot at a huge payday, the regular parlay is the way to go. If you’re pretty
confident about most but not all of your picks, and want to give yourself a good shot at
hitting a payout, I’d recommend trying a progressive parlay...

This Week: Free Ride
Free Ride is an exciting, high stakes game of five-card
poker. It allows you to increase your bet twice if the
hand looks promising, and the payouts can be very high!
You are not competing against the dealer, just trying
to get the best possible hand, which pays out according
to a value structure. You begin by placing an initial
bet. Three cards are dealt to you, at which point you
must decide whether to add to your bet or pass. Either
way another card is dealt, and you have a final opportunity
to bet or pass before the last card is dealt. Once all
five cards are on the table your hand pays out according
to its value:
Royal Flush: 1000 to 1
Straight flush: 200 to 1
Four of a kind: 50 to 1
Full house: 11 to 1
Flush: 8 to 1
Straight: 5 to 1
Three of a kind: 3 to 1
Two pair: 2 to 1
Pair of tens or higher: 1 to 1
Less than a pair of tens: Lose your bet
There is also a Progressive coin slot which costs $1 to play. It produces a bonus payout for good hands: Royal Flush: %100 of Progressive jackpot Straight flush: %10 of Progressive jackpot Four of a kind: $250 Full house: $150 Flush: $100 NOTE: The maximum payout on Free Ride is $50,000 per hand .
