In the marketing and advertising world, there is something called the “Rule of 7” that is generally practiced and understood. It essentially means that any prospect needs to hear an advertiser’s message around seven times (minimum) to remember and understand that message. This got me thinking this week. Here I am writing a weekly DFS article focused on driving home methods of thinking. Mental frameworks to deploy, strategies to think about, and ultimately hope that you (the reader) can make sense of my words and use these strategies to your advantage to win tons of money. That’s the goal. The only problem is that, on average, The Scroll is live for two to four days each week, and then we play the slate, and we move on. How can I expect any reader to have effectively understood my points, and build upon them one by one to create this optimal state of building DFS lineups? Unless you’ve been taking notes this whole time, following me on Twitter, or are a master of self-improvement, it’s likely you could use a recap to bring this thing back together.
That’s where Week 13 comes in. Some of this is for my own sake, as it’s difficult to even remember sometimes what I wrote in a given week, as we turn the pages quickly and the NFL season progresses. So, below, and please bear with me, is a short recap of the key points I have honed in on in each Willing to Lose this season. You can find any of these in the Archives section, but as we have a third of the season left to play, I felt it’s an appropriate time to walk back through and see if we can’t emerge with a refreshed mind for this Sunday’s slate.
The NFL season is long. And it’s getting seemingly longer each year. We have many slates ahead of us, that’s the good news. The even better news is if you have not experienced any big wins this season, just keep showing up. By reading The Scroll each week, and digesting most of the wonderful content here at One Week Season, the odds are in your favor. If I can sum up the 12 articles above into one or two sentences, it’s this: Be yourself when building lineups, trust your training, and just simply relax. DFS is a complex beast and much of winning is out of our hands, but consistency (showing up) will win out by the end of the season. And with that, we welcome in Week 13…
