    How many simultaneous games during March Madness?

    Trying to make sure I am funded sufficently to place wagers on all games.

    If memory serves, the games are staggered start with roughly 4 games going in quick succession and perhaps not being finished by the time the next group kicks off.

    Are there ever more than say 8 games going on simultaneously before grading would occur on the first of them?

    Thanks.

    generally for those first two days you'll see times like this 12:15, 12:40,1:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 3:50, 4:20, 6:50, 7;10, 7:20 7:27, 9:15, 9:30, 9:45, 9:55

    So you'll never have more than 6 games going on.

    after the first two days, there will be even more spacing.

    I don't know how this year's schedule will be, now that it's all in Indiana.

    but I'm pretty sure they'll only be playing in 6 venues, so I don't think we'll see any major change in schedule

    The time to bet a game is not when the game starts. You will bet bad lines if you keep doing that.

    So, I was thinking about this as well.

    Closer to game time is when most of the casual player money comes in right? Wouldn't advantageous lines then be before the game?

    it's only advantageous if the line moves your way

    I was talking about live betting. Live betting can be gold if you're prepared and know what you're doing.
