Id say 99% of the people dont gamble for a living on this board and dont have never ending bankrolls. This makes short term play a big deal. Most people want to play not ride a progressive for days on end trying to get the mathematical payback. If you cant understand this than your not as smart as you think you are Bob. The math doesn't always work and there have been pros that have busted. If you want to talk balls go play $5-10k a hand on Pai Gow or baccarat. Maybe a $20k buy in on an Omaha game. Taking a shot at 25 cent or a dollar progressive has nothing to do with balls.

But all this talk about having a smoother ride is tantamount to being a nit. There used to be a saying at the poker table when I was a young man. "No balls, no blue chips!"
