The piece is limited to casino games.

In sports betting, it was said for years that only about 1% win. Now you often hear that 10% is more like it.

Nevada sports books try to bar winning players who make limit bets, because the person buying the ticket is often the front man for a group of players. Those same sports books have computer printouts showing that they kill the $200-$300 bettors.
