➕ What to Bet on in NC

Tar Heel State bettors will have plenty to do after NC passes them the ball:

🏀 ACC Basketball Tournament 

The ACC Tournament begins March 12 for the men. Hardcourt blue bloods North Carolina and Duke lead the way as favorites, but should you bet on a different sleeper for a better potential return? 

Though the women’s ACC tourney concludes on March 10, several NCAAW conference championships will be up for grabs in the first week of legal NC betting.

​⛹️ March Madness 2024

The annual sports holiday tips off Thursday, March 20, following a St. Patrick’s Day edition of Selection Sunday. Rounds 1 and 2 games will take place at Charlotte’s Spectrum Center on March 21 and 23.

Will UConn repeat as men’s champions? Will Caitlin Clark and Iowa get over the hump?

​👀 Stay tuned to our March Madness CBB coverage.

🏁 NASCAR Race Picks

The first NASCAR race NC residents can legally bet will take place at nearby Bristol, Tenn., on Sunday, March 17.

If you can’t make it to Bristol Motor Speedway, you can finally bet on the race from the comfort of your couch, backyard, or tailgate.

This will be fantastic practice for the hometown Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Memorial Day weekend.

Check for Scott Engel’s pick at our NASCAR hub.

🏒 Hurricanes’ Stanley Cup Playoffs Push

As one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference and a likely postseason qualifier, the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes will chase their first Stanley Cup trophy in nearly 10 years. 

The day after North Carolina betting goes live, the Canes will host the New York Rangers in what could determine the Metropolitan Division winner.

Per BetMGM Sportsbook, Carolina (+1100) ranks as the sixth-favorite team to win the Stanley Cup and is tied for the third-shortest odds to win the Eastern Conference.

Keep up with our Stanley Cup odds and picks.

 🐝​​ Charlotte Hornets Basketball

The Hornets are … not going to make their playoffs, barring a miracle. Still, at least NC NBA fans will have the chance to bet for — or against — their local squad.

🏈 Carolina Panthers Futures & Regular Season

Speaking of less competitive NC franchises, the Panthers will aim to improve on their 2-15 record from Bryce Young’s rookie season. New head coach Dave Canales brings optimism to a team with plenty of talent in a division that tends to have a new champion nearly every year.
