<<I'm well aware we are in the casino here and I know the rules of the house. Do you? Or, do you just prefer to roll the loaded dice constantly and come up with snake eyes?>> I believe that which "your friend" speaks is that sometimes even the house has a massive loss - & there as here one can not tell when it is coming. It should be noted, when one of these massive losses took place some time ago at a casino in Vegas the company had a 25% miss in earnings for the quarter. In the same way, a much smaller casino had just such a massive winner walk in the door only a few weeks after their grand opening. The exact right (or wrong depending on your point of view) wheel spin hit on a $ machine. The casino closed the next day. Yes, friends, at times EVERY house has a massive, perhaps even FINAL, loss. Even the most rigged wheel or marked deck has the a loss. The PM's are currently the long shot. Will they have the same long odds in a month or a year?
