Short Term Wins Can Beat the Gambling Odds But in the End the Casino Wins

Dear Mark, You always recommend making wagers that have less than a 2% house advantage. Okay, sound logic, but why is it that a gambler can still win, even on games like keno or those big slot jackpots when the Law of Averages says they won¹t? William.
Because, William, the Law of Averages does not have time to work during most brief casino visits. That said, you should never put your faith in the heady belief that happy aberrations in gambling odds will happen in games that carry a huge house advantage. The keen player never ignores the mathematical odds that are working for or against him. But every gambler¹s timeline (tabletime) is still relatively short, be it three hours or three days, so anything can happen‹ even for the 8-spot keno winner, or the serendipitous winner of the super slot-pot. Those fortuitous winners don¹t go home because the Law of Averages worked in their favor, most likely it was because the Law of Averages didn't.
