However, offshore sportsbooks offer more value to players through unique prop bets, higher betting limits, and more lucrative welcome and reload bonuses.

BetOnline: 68 March Madness Prop Bets
Speaking to Bookmakers Review, BetOnline detailed some fun prop bets involving President Donald Trump:
“Trump has attended college football games, fighting events, and even the Super Bowl during his tenures as POTUS, but does he embrace March Madness like millions of other Americans? During his first term, Trump refused to fill out an NCAA basketball bracket, and the odds suggest he’ll bypass what had become a presidential tradition again this year. So, we created a few props surrounding the NCAA Men’s Tournament and Trump’s participation, or lack thereof.”
