Sweeten your NCAA hoops action with these four deals that beat any buzzer.

Sportsbooks across the Internet are looking to add method to your March Madness with special offers designed with the bracket-beater in mind. With creativity (and of course free cash) here are a four of the best that caught my eye:

$500,000 Hoops Madness Contest: Sports Betting

No one said it was going to be easy but pick 55 or more games right and you could win up to US$500,000 at Sports Betting. You can also win one of the other great prizes up for grabs including:

• a Toshiba 50" Projection Television
• an Olympus Camedia Digital Camera
• a Philips Expanium CD Player with CD-MP3 Playback
• one of six US$100 accounts

Aside of up to the minute lines and props on all 63 games, Sports InterAction carries fat over/unders on entire games or per half. Sports InterAction’s generous lines make it worth having a second look at those longshot dogs. Don’t wait until April to say ‘I told you so’.

Free Bracket Entry Grid Pool Competition: Intertops

Intertops is giving away 64 prizes worth more than US$15,000.00, with a cash grand prize of $5,000. Play free just for being an Intertops customer. One point is awarded for each you pick correctly, with prizes going to the top players.
