The NCAA Tournament is here and, if you’re into sports betting, this is one of the most exciting times of the year. I’ve been to Vegas for the Tournament … but the second weekend, never the first with 48 games in four days. Maybe some day.
Thanks to online betting, you can get paid without fighting the crowds on the Strip. Here’s my four-leg parlay from Thursday’s games:

South Florida +13.5 vs. Louisville (1:30 p.m., TNT): USF swept all the hardware in the American Athletic Conference, while the Cardinals officially will be without Mikel Brown.
North Dakota State +24.5 vs. Michigan State (4:05 p.m., TNT): Under Tom Izzo, Michigan State has never been to blow out first-round opponents. NDSU can keep this respectable.
High Point and Wisconsin OVER 67.5 Total Points (1:50 p.m., TBS): This should be a fast-paced game that’s up and down the floor. High Point averaged nearly 90 points this season.
VCU +11.5 vs. North Carolina (6:50 p.m., TNT): I love this VCU team and UNC is injury-ravaged. This should be a good, close game the whole way.
