Million Dollar Marco lays $200,000 on Tennessee Volunteers to win March Madness

Million Dollar Marco is throwing down wagers on March Madness.

Putting his bet down on DraftKings, Marco Piemonte, formerly of Betr Media, laid down a big wager on the Tennessee Volunteers to win the college basketball national championship.

His $200,000 wager at 14/1 will win $3 million if Tennessee does make it through the gauntlet of top teams in front of them.

KenPom has the Volunteers ranked No. 7 overall in adjusted efficiency margin, behind Alabama, Auburn, Arizona, Connecticut, Purdue and Houston.

The odds don’t exactly showcase those respected rankings, though, as Tennessee still has the fifth-best odds on the board for the March Madness Tournament.

Auburn actually comes in behind Tennessee at 18/1 despite having the same 20-6 overall record as the Volunteers.

Alabama understandably sits as the lowest of the group in terms of odds at 20/1, despite undoubtedly being talented.

Their 19-7 record could provide some seeding problems for the Crimson Tide once mid-March rolls around.

Piemonte is known to be fearless when firing from the hip on these bets.

You may remember when the Rams won the Super Bowl in 2022, he had a $117,750 bet on the Rams to win the Big Game.

That wager won him $1,118,625, and just like that, “Million Dollar” Marco was born.

His 2023 March Madness Tournament results left much to be desired, as Piemonte claimed to end the college basketball season down $105,000.

“Ended “March madness” down 105k,” Piemonte wrote in an Instagram post.

Betting on College Basketball?

“Had a lot of W’s & a lot of L’s, but I’ll NEVER ever let losing control my emotions- we had pictures scheduled for tonight & even though Texas lost I went outside & smiled for family pictures ❤️
On to the next bet – next game – next million-dollar win! Melt down hurt bad, though I won’t lie to you.”

He looks to reverse his fortunes and then some with this sly bet on the Volunteers.
