The Weekly Wager 3.18.26
Wednesday, 18 March, 2026
The Weekly Wager with Ben Brust and Josh DiMaggio went live from the Potawatomi Sportsbook as the madness officially tipped off. With the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament underway, the focus was simple: find the best value and cash in. The guys dove into First Round bets, highlighting key spreads and totals, identifying upset alerts, and calling out matchups the public might be getting wrong. From bracket busters to sneaky value plays, they zeroed in on games worth targeting during the most unpredictable stretch of the tournament. Looking ahead, they broke down Championship futures — separating true contenders from overvalued favorites while spotlighting sleeper teams with realistic paths to a title. The goal: lock in strong numbers before the bracket chaos shifts the odds. Beyond the picks, the show emphasized strategy — how to approach the First Round versus later rounds, when to bet early versus waiting things out, and how to manage risk during one of the wildest betting weekends of the year. And as always, the audience was part of the action — debating national champions, upset picks, and best bets live as the madness unfolded.
