If they were smart grown-ups they would be advertising the hell out of this: there's a lot more than $10 million to be made by allowing players to believe that a sufficiently smart "system" can beat the house. A really smart marketer would realize that a court case like this gets printed up in the newspapers and shared on websites (meta!) and might intentionally try to lose the case in a spectacular fashion.
- pc86 10y agoYes, then the casino owners would finally be successful! They seem to be doing pretty well for themselves.
- pinkrooftop 10y agoThis is the idea behind 100x or 1000x odds in craps. People either won't play that high, or the other -EV play decisions outweigh even massive true odds action
- jly 10y agoYeah, 100x odds is a great marketing move but it isn't that helpful to the average gambler. A game of heads or tails with a fair coin would be the best EV bet in the casino, but it isn't that useful if I need to place a minimum $1000 bet per flip.
