    An estimated $3.1 billion will be legally bet on this month’s “March Madness” men’s and women’s college basketball tournaments.

    That’s up from $2.72 billion last year, according to estimates from the American Gaming Association.

    Sports betting is now legal in 38 states plus Washington, D.C., after a 2018 Supreme Court decision left the issue for states to decide.
