My mother still thinks that way. I think if I won the WSOP, she'd still think I just got lucky, and that I'd be very likely to lose it all back ($5M plus) the next time I played.

A few years ago, she came out to Vegas to visit, and brought her best friend for the trip. I took them out to see a show at the MGM, and while we waited for the theater to open, I ran over to the sportsbook to see if they had posted a series price on the Stanley Cup finals. When I saw the MGM's price, I got very excited--I had found a nice middle.

So I'm trying to explain to my mother what a "middle" is. And of course, as soon as she hears words like, "Can't lose" and "no risk", she turns to her friend and asks, "Can you believe he STILL thinks like this?"
