March Madness: Huge bet on Alabama becomes tourney's biggest wager at BetMGM

Alabama had moments in the first round in which it looked like it could join Ohio State in that No. 15 seed over No. 2 seed upset list.

But one better believes in the Alabama team that pulled away and beat Iona, and the Crimson Tide team that looked so good in the SEC most of the season.

Alabama was -5 at BetMGM when one bettor put a huge bet on the Crimson Tide to cover against Maryland.
