Default Re: Casino Odds

Would the casino still be profitable? Yes, there are droves of morons out there.

What is the risk? A smart player will of course profit from this.

Example: For simplicity lets pick a game with even payout, say roulette, single zero, HA 2.7%

Smart gambler walks in with $1000, places everything on black.

He wins 18/37 times, and when he does, his profit is $1100. In the long run, this nets him $535.13

He loses 19/37 times, and when he does his loss is only $750. In the long run, this nets him -$385.13

So his EV for this spin is $150.
