The sure thing almost nobody plays
Imagine you are looking around a deluxe, well appointed casino. Off the lavish entry foyer, there are two ample gaming wings, one hued in reds, the other in muted greens. The red wing looks more enticing, but just for now we'll have a look at the green wing as it is much less crowded.
At first you think you must be in the wrong place. The tables are almost empty, everyone is plainly dressed, the table limits aren't particularly high, but everyone seems to be sitting there behind this enormous pile of money.
Then it comes to you, everyone is winning. In fact, as you walk around you can hardly find a losing player. You know that in most casinos the odds are stacked in favour of the house, but here everyone seems to be gaining at a rate of 60% to 40%. You count again and the results are the same.
A pit boss appears at your shoulder. You ask him if this is really true, that the odds really favour the players?
"Yes, indeed. The odds in the green room usually run 60 to 40. It's been that way since we opened."
"But...most of the players must go away winners!"
"They sure do. At those odds, we calculate that 9,999 out of 10,000 make money. At our high-stakes tables at the back, they do even better, with winners running about 20,000 to 1. It's a good thing we get so few players, or they'd break the house."
Realising that you have not a minute to lose and knowing that the few dollars in your wallet aren't going to get you very far, you hurry out to the foyer to go draw out some money.
Before you do though, you glance into the red room. The action level is much higher. Excited punters make huge bets, they frantically change their cash to chips and there is laughing and crying and entreaties to the gods of luck, but no one seems to be winning. In fact the longer you watch the more it seems that people are losing money with every hand they play. You turn to another pitt boss and ask about the odds at these tables.
"60 to 40 in favour of the house", she says, "This room coins gold for the casino, the chances are 9,999 in 10,000 rounds that we wind up winners."
Shaking your head at the stupidity of the players here, you leave quickly to go draw out your life savings. You return to the casino with your fistful of money, excited, eager for action, all the time figuring how you'll do even better at the game.
But then a strange thing happens, you walk into the red wing and start to play.
