🏀 Let the (March) Madness Begin

Can you spot the Cinderella story? 🔎

Hey BettrNation family! The madness has begun (and no, we aren’t talking about Elon Musk and DOGE’s impact on the federal government). March Madness is upon us, a time when brackets crumble faster than a stale Chips Ahoy cookie, office pools become bloodsport, and the phrase "Cinderella story" gets more airtime than Taylor Swift at a Chiefs game. Forget your taxes, ignore your boss, and definitely don't try to explain the "quadrant system" to your significant other. We're diving headfirst into the glorious chaos, where a 16-seed can make you a legend, and your meticulously crafted bracket can be reduced to a pile of crumpled hopes and dreams by lunchtime. 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!
