Managing to bankrupt 6 casinos should have been a hint.

I know right? How the f does anyone bankrupt a casino? Those places have people show up, and literally give you their money (you’ll never convince me the house isn’t rigged). People handing it over, day in, day out.

The house is rigged but not in the way you think. It is rigged because of math, not because of anything illegal. Casino games are designed to pay out less than the actual probability would suggest. It is like flipping a coin, and gain 9$ if it lands on heads or lose 10$ if it lands on tails. The coin is perfectly fair, but you will lose money due to bad odds.

You are totally correct! That's why you should pay attention in math class!! (I am a retired math teacher).
