🏀 Embrace the (March) Madness
Will the clock strike midnight on our Cinderella stories? 🕛
Welcome to Day 3️⃣ of the NCAA Tournament! The madness has begun (and no, we aren’t talking about Elon Musk and DOGE’s impact on the federal government). March Madness is officially upon us, a time when the phrase "Cinderella story" gets more airtime than Taylor Swift at a Kansas City Chiefs game. We are only two days into the Tournament and there is a good chance that your bracket is already busted (or at least mine is 😒). Out of the 34,000,000 brackets submitted for the NCAAM Tournament, less than 200 remain perfect after the first two days of action! For the NCAAW Tournament, which started yesterday, only 83,000 (out of the 5,000,000 brackets submitted) remain perfect after the first day.
If the first few days are any indication, we are in for an electric weekend! We're diving headfirst into the glorious chaos, where predicting a Cinderella can make you a legend, and your meticulously crafted bracket can be reduced to a pile of crumpled hopes and dreams by lunchtime (if it isn’t ruined already 😬). Let’s try to make some money while we watch those dreams shatter, shall we?
Here’s to hoping your bets - and brackets - for Round 1 of the tourney leave you feeling better than CJ Stroud after the Texans traded his best offensive lineman ☹️ And remember friends…
Don’t Gamble. Bet Bettr!
