How much would you have won if you correctly bet every March Madness first-round upset?

The first round of the 2021 March Madness Tournament saw quite a few upsets, shaking up the NCAA Tournament, making plenty of bet slips losers and blowing up March Madness Brackets around the country - mine was toast after the first game. Ouch.

While a painful, and expensive, reminder on some of them, here were the upsets during the first round of the Tournament:

• No. 15 seed Oral Roberts defeated No. 2 seed Ohio State 75-72 in OT
• No. 11 seed Syracuse bested No. 6 seed San Diego State 78-62
• No. 13 seed North Texas took out No. 4 seed Purdue 78-69 in OT
• No. 12 seed Oregon State beat No. 5 seed Tennessee 70-56
• No. 10 seed Rutgers outlasted No. 7 seed Clemson 60-56
• No. 13 seed Ohio beat No. 4 seed Virginia 62-58
• No. 10 seed Maryland beat No. 7 seed UConn 63-54
• No. 14 seed Abilene Christian snuck by No. 3 seed Texas 53-52

Of those games, only Rutgers, a seed underdog thus their inclusion here, was a money line favorite at BetMGM Sportsbook to win their matchup. The rest were all money line and seed underdogs, with Oral Roberts (+900 - bet $100 to profit $900) the biggest 'dog of them all to pull a massive upset.

• Oral Roberts (+900): $900 profit
• Syracuse (+135): $135 profit
• North Texas (+265): $265 profit
• Oregon State (+340): $340 profit
• Rutgers (-125): $80 profit

• Abilene Christian (+310): $310 profit

BetMGM Sportsbook would have paid out $3,090 worth of winning bet slips, good for a healthy $2,290 profit.

Now what if you ran with a parlay bet focused on all of those underdogs winning? A $1 parlay bet would have profited a massive $10,026.47.

Or, if you're of the go-big-or-go-home mentality and threw a $100 at that same parlay, you'd have profited a cool $1,002,702.89. Not a bad first-round payday, huh?

Now, to be fair, everyone would have told you that you just threw your money away making such a wild bet… please remember to gamble responsibly.
