Slow Your Houdini

Yo, it's the same thing as slowin' your roll...you just do it and cool off and you slow it, and you're better off for it in the end

You do not want to establish bad habits of lashing out after losses. Patterns of behavior such as doubling down or recouping an entire loss with one play are not a part of the regimen. Prompted by your losing plays, destructive emotions will always make an attempt to dupe your will and will arrive unannounced on a continuing basis for all but the very few. You have got to stay strong and recognize it when it arrives for what it is. This sounds so clinical, but that's precisely what we prescribe. Clinical. Fundamental. Don't launch hail marys. Utilize our method for protecting the self from the self...you are a better handicapper once you come to terms with your deficiencies and weaknesses, and we all have them

So if there is a number one rule I suppose this would be it: do not get yourself into jams. Don't launch hail marys. You are not here to perform the tricks of an escape artist. No one is there watching or analyzing your picks. This is not a stage, so do not put on a show with your card. Make it basic. That way you are less apt to cut loose on a play after 6 brews on a Sunday Night, while you're just waiting for Monday to come

Sure, you will pull out a few big wins the first couple of times you do this, and those wins will invariably pique your curiosity. When you hit your next weak spot and you choose carelessly, the emotion triggered by those prior wins will no doubt show up for a party funded by your pot that you never even knew you were gonna throw...

And don't worry - you'll get your money, just give it time. If you need the money immediately get it somewhere else, not here. Pick52 is a specific type of sports investment of which patience is the first requirement

There is no and has never been a Henry Houdini among us, and if there was I can almost guarantee that his experience was unpleasant. Do not attempt to ever imitate him, because in the end, you also want to be a happy person
