I work in a casino and it's mind-blowing how uninformed most of the clientele are. Everyone seems to have some strategy they think is capable of defeating mathematics.

That was my initial reaction as well. Unless genetic heritability is tested this is just a "scientists prove that every 60 seconds a minute passes" study.

Casino worker here; most of the people I've talked to that win significant jackpots ($10k+) are still several thousand dollars in the red even after winning. Even if you're winning, if you gamble you lose.
