Thousands Win FanDuel March Madness Promo

After the first day of March Madness, we've all likely seen our brackets crumble to pieces. I had KU going to the Final Four, so with the Jayhawks losing 79-72 to Arkansas the entire Western portion of my bracket is cooked!

So if you're like me, you might be looking for a new way to get in on the fun of March Madness. Sportsbook is offering its "Dog of the Day" promo where over 10,000 customers have already won $1 million in Bonus Bet money on the first day of madness.

Dog Of The Day

On day one of the tournament, 10,485 FanDuel customers correctly picked the 12th-seeded McNeese State Cowboys to be the lowest seed to win. McNeese took out fifth-seeded Clemson thanks to senior Brandon Murray scoring 21 points from the bench. Those 10,000 customers shared $1,000,000 in bonus bets for $96 each.

Looking forward to the weekend, sharps have McNeese State and Drake as the two live dogs on the board. Both schools are enjoying 41% of the tickets to upset Purdue and Texas Tech, respectively, at the time of writing.

McNeese powered their way through a great 28-6 season thanks to their 37th-ranked field-goal percentage of 47.8. A percentage on full display against Clemson converting 43.5% of their shots from the field. That sustainable conversion rate and ability to outwork opponents could see them past Purdue which struggled against High Point. Don't forget that the Boilermakers ended the year going 3-6 in their final nine games before the tournament began.

Drake ended with a 10-point win over Missouri to open its tournament, thanks to some elite shooting converting 50% of their attempts from the field and the free-throw line. Sharps believe Drake could pull another upset against Texas Tech who were wasteful from the three-point line converting on 28% of their tournament-record 46 attempts.
