[Star Wars: The Clone Wars] Why did Pre Vizsla think it was a good idea to ally himself with Maul, a self-declared Sith, and therefore an enemy of Mandalore?

In Legends, but it may carry over into current Canon, the Mandalorians *had* made alliances with the Sith. However, it's well established in both timelines that Sith betray *literally everyone* they ever work with- and sure enough. the Sith Empire backstabbed Mandalore and made themselves an enemy of the Mandalorians.

Now, Pre Vizsla, a rabid fanatic Mandalorian, would obviously have read his people's extensive history, including Mandalore's enemies. If he had read about the ancient Sith, he'd know that, again, Sith betray *everybody* who allies themselves with them even when it would hurt them in the long run. Which brings me to this: Why did Pre think teaming up with Maul and Savage Opress wasn't going to bite him in the ass if he knew they were Sith?

He knew they weren’t reliable allies, but he assumed that he would be able to get the better of them rather than the other way around. 

Sure, he was dead wrong in his assessment, but overconfidence is a hallmark trait of villains.
