Seriously? So you're saying there's no game in a casino that can give you long-term profit?
Just to clarify people, when I say “casino,” I’m also including sports betting, since most casinos now have sportsbooks too.
A grocery store can sell lottery tickets, that doesn't make it a casino, just how a gas station is not a restaurant for selling hamburgers.
Casino games are something, sports are a different thing, most gambling websites have a different section for each of them
And yeah, no casino game can be profitable long run unless you play poker against other people.
But there is a nuance. For example, if you play the lottery and hit the jackpot (on the first thousand tickets or even 10 thousand - 100 thousand), then in order to go into the minus you need to buy the next couple of million tickets. Thus, if you are lucky, then stopping, for example, at a million tickets, you will remain in the black and this will be a huge distance.
The chances of hitting a lottery win or a jackpot are the same as hitting a win 20 times out of 30 in a roulette game or always being in green. RTP is not based on the individual, some players can, due to pure luck, end up with a profit even after hundreds of thousands of spins. It's an incredibly small chance, but it's nothing different than winning the lottery.
