So I got a couple free $20 sports bets this weekend, for the March Madness Promotion...
However I have no idea how to do it...
I'm not looking to get big money, just really get the $20 out of it...
Any ideas/picks?

Parlay it on all 4 #1 seeds on their first games. You should end up with about a 8%-10% return on your money. No #1 seed has ever lost their first game of the tournament.

Or just pick 1 of the top teams KU is -5000, Duke -4000, Gonzaga -8000. All the books don't put out money lines on the big spreads though. You will have to see what is offered. Does it have to be one bet? If not, you could bet $10 on both sides and just drink the juice.

I thought about that..just pick 1 game and bet both sides...meh...I wanna go for $40 though, rather than just half...

That would be -110 wouldn't it?
So I'd have to bet $110 to win $100...or $22 to win $20...so $20 would win me like $18.50 right? (Plus the original $20 I'm IMAGINING...but maybe not since it's a freebet)
EDIT: I won't be there early enough...I need Saturday games...(sorry for not specifiying)

...free $20 sports bets...

I assume this is in the US. In the UK you can get "free" bets, but usually they are bets where you keep the winnings but not the stake (so worth checking the rules for yours). In this case, all other things being equal, then long shots are the best option.
If it does include the stake, then if you have multiple bets you may prefer to bet both sides to ensure a profit.
