... it IS possible to beat the casino, John. It's called dumb luck!!
A single pull of the one-armed bandit.
One roll of the dice.
One spin of the wheel.
One bet on Cal +32 against Nebraska. Oops, wait a minute. That one DIDN'T work. But, if it had, I'd be ahead and as long as I didn't foolishly bet again (like I did to begin with <g>), I'd have beaten the house).
Long term, of course, you are exactly right. And for most people, short term, too. Statistical probability. Simple math.
Where DO they get all the money to build those fancy hotel/casinos? <g>
