> The loss results purely from the EV
This is true for a single spin, it is not true for a sequence where once you run out of money, you stop playing.
- chkas 5y agoI also read the rest. You wrote that this is the main reason people lose at the casino. This hypothetical casino does not exist, and if it did, it would eventually go bankrupt (costs aside) because the players have more money in total. > > The loss results purely from the EV > This is true for a single spin, it is not true for a sequence where once you run out of money, you stop playing. If you have to stop gambling because you lost your million dollars, you didn't lose because you don't have any more money. You couldn't turn it around with another 100 million either (in a non-hypothetical casino).
