My weakness is chasing high uncapped progressives.
I usually play when the progressive is 3x to 6x reset, depending on game.
No idea if +ev but if not, should bring the slot closer to 99%.

This month I lost $3k chasing a $1k bottom progressive.
My worst loss ever in chasing an uncapped progressive.

I play when I've done a couple of loops around the casino and there's no more +ev plays.
So these high uncap progressives are the next best thing.

Even before this month's loss, I think I've lost more money than won chasing these.

They're a bad habit.
But to break a bad habit loop, you need to replace it with a healthier alternative.
But what?

Lady Luck HQ was chasing a maxxed out Major JP of $50K on Dragon Link for 3 days. When she won it, it reset to over $27K instead of $25K, so it was counting up the extra and putting it towards the next one. I'm not inclined to chase a maxxed out Major now, but that shouldn't stop me from playing it or looking for them. I just won't shovel all the money in until I get it back on a Major JP win.

She also lost $15K just trying to get a Bonus on one of the Buffalo Super Bonus games. That thing is not paying off to save your life if ever.

I might want to up my denom as I pass by certain loss thresholds so a Minor JP would win me back my money. I'll be sticking to Lightning Link or Dragon Link for now. Phoenix Link is even higher volatility, meaning worse losing streaks.

Women? Of course, that might be more costly than gambling.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.
