Well, while gambling at the casino's always have negative expected value [unless you're a card counter or whatever], investments certainly don't always have positive expected value. There have been plenty of IPO's over the past 5 years with much lower expected value than betting red or black on a roulette wheel. I think you're confusing theory with reality... known probabilities of outcomes vs not.
