I honestly think gambling influence in CBB is not nearly as a huge a draw for viewers as the Super Bowl.

People who never ever bet...Bet the Super Bowl and therefore tune in.

Real betting is the SB in terms of numbers.

Office pools are more a factor than actual betting in Vegas like the SB.

Office pools are pin the tail on the donkey...Some blind employee wins and she gets a gift card to Starbucks.

That's not real gambling...That's a typically awkward office "bonding" exercise.

Businesses use the tournament as a "non-threatening" secret santa game in March.
