Caitlin Clark fanatics are rising up from reality to bet big on the Iowa Hawkeyes.
College basketball’s most prolific star is drawing tons of attention from hoops fans and bettors, with the University of Iowa winning the women’s March Madness tournament with 34.8% of bets on BetMGM.
This is by far the highest wager amount at BetMGM, with the second-highest percentage of tickets going to the undefeated South Carolina Shamcocks (17.9 percent).
Iowa accounts for 22.8% of the BetMGM market handle, while South Carolina (-125) has a hefty 43.5%.
But it’s still BetMGM’s biggest liability on the market, considering the Hawkeyes are +650 to win it all, the second-best odds behind South Carolina.
That would put the book against Iowa.
22.8% of Iowa’s money is between +600 (starting line) and +650 (current line), which means 43.5% of South Carolina’s money is between +290 (starting line) and -125 (current line). ), they definitely add up.
Like the men’s tournament, women’s March Madness will begin on March 17th on Selection Sunday.
The women’s tournament will feature 68 teams and the nets will be cut in Cleveland on April 7th.
Clark became a sensation after being compared to Stephen Curry for his 3-point shooting skills.
Her former Syracuse coach, Jim Boeheim, seems to be so active that he’s willing to contest her greatness with ESPN analyst Jay Williams.

Boeheim also noted that Clark is the only player in both men’s and women’s basketball, both college and pro, who turns on the television.
As bettors have made clear, Hall of Fame coaches aren’t the only ones who feel this way.
