Tell that to the casinos. Knowing what the probabilities are for a roulette wheel ensures that the house has the power to always win in the end.
And tell that to the people playing our national lottery. They increased the numbers you can choose to play from 49 to 52 (unannounced, of course). And the winner is... wait for it... wait for it...the CEO of the company contracted by the Government to run the Lotto...That guy gets millions.
