I'm not selling anything here. This message is just a sincere message to my forum friends to enjoy the tourney and to wish them the best of luck as the big dance gets underway tomorrow morning.
As many of you know I was a bookmaker for many years and I've seen a lot during those years. I've seen a lot of guys who generally had more self control and self discipline than the average Joe get all caught up in the moment and do things out of their normal patterns and sometimes way above and beyond their personal comfort zone if you know what I mean.
Just try and stick to your original plans guys and don't get too cocky if you get off to a flying start and don't press the panic button if some games get sideways on you early on. It's called march madness for a very valid reason.
I could literally write a book about some of the things I've witnessed first hand, maybe someday I will. If I did not give a damn about the forum family I would not say a word. Some clowns deserve whatever havoc they wreak upon themselves but for the most part, I care about what happens with the vast majority of you guys. Just don't want to see anyone get hurt.
Hope this is taken in the spirit it is truly intended. Good luck!
