However, they made loads more from "intelligent" players who mistaken believed they were playing with a nice edge and were in fact only breaking even, winning slightly or losing slightly, all the while way overbetting their bankroll, in short working with a very high risk of ruin. These kinds of players often have only a miniscule chance to dig out once they get stuck heavily and the casinos make a fortune from them.

This is nonsense.

You can't make money on average by having a large bankroll and playing a 0 EV or -EV game. If someone overbets his bankroll against you, you don't win on average.
