u think casino win money becuz of probability? the 1-5% edge over the players are not enough to cover operating costs of a casino, casino is using this as an excuse to cover up the fact that they cheat...they are using all sorts of technology to make the game seems fair, but too bad, you thought that it is all about luck, all about probability. But in actual fact, in the casino, the staff are the gods, they control the outcome, u guys are like beggars begging for money..the staff happy they give u pocket money,they not happy they steal from u. The moment you decide to place a bet, you are like placing your fate in their hands...They will decide what to do with you, for example, mayybe play with your emotions. They let you win, is to make you get greedy so that when you lose until breakeven, you will think that you can win back, but this is exactly what they want you to think so that your loss limits will get larger and larger..... when you 1st started out, you will stop after losing 50, after playing for months, u will stop after 500, then after years, you will only stop after 50,000.....you know why nobody tells you because conflict of interest--the bonus/salary that the staff can get depends on your hard-earned money....they are capitalizing on your ignorance, greed and mistakes ... .i work as a technician in casino, was a compulsive gambler when i was young...no offense...i just hope that singaporeans wont get cheated again.
