The way that I like to think about it is if you look at any activity involving probability theory, there are those who make the bets and those who take the bets. Once you dissuade yourself from the gambler’s mentality, you see very clearly casinos have a highly effective and successful business model. In other words, casinos take the bets because they have familiarized themselves with the odds of the game. It’s this understanding of odds and probabilities that allows casinos to be continually successful.
