Why do casinos always come out on top?
It’s because the casino games are games of *chance* meaning they’re based on probablility. Take dice for example. You can bet on any number 1-6 to come up in a single roll. But there are 6 sides to each die [singular of dice], so if you bet on number *5*, you have a 1 out of 6 change of being right and winning. But there’s a 5 in 6 chance that you’ll be wrong and the casino will win your money. Even if there are 6 people betting and each bets on a different number [meaning 1 of the people will be right and win], if the payout is to double the money bet, the casino still comes out on top. To see how this happens, say each person bets a dollar [6 dollars total bet]. The person who wins gets double their money or $2, meaning the casino made $4 on that roll of the die. And having 1 in 6 odds would be extremely high. Most games [cards, roulette, craps] the odds of any individual winning are even lower.
