Iowa’s Teams Spike Bets

With three Iowa teams in the N-C-A-A basketball tournament, it’s a good bet there are a lot more people interested in tournament pools this year. The Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals oversees the tourney pools and spokesman David Werning confirms they have been a hot topic since the selection show Sunday.

If you are wondering about your office pool or the tournament pool with your friends and neighbors — Werning says it’s okay.


Werning says there is a limit on how much cash can be in the pool.


With the Panthers, Cyclones and Hawkeyes all in the tournament, Iowans are going to have to decide if they are really in it for the money, or if they are going to fill out those brackets based on their hearts and team loyalty.
