Americans are Expected to Bet Over $10 Billion on March Madness The numbers come from estimates released by the American Gambling Association (AGA). According to ESPN, who reported the numbers, only three percent of all betting is expected to take place legally. The AGA reports that last year, 24 million people participated in NCAA Tournament pools, submitting over 60 million brackets.

The NCAA Tournament kicks off on Tuesday, March 13 at 6:40 p.m. on TruTV.
