Here is the link to my web page which I quickly created explaining a 50/50 chance and the reason why the odds are against a gambler at the Casino. http://stat.awardspace.info/#gamble

Not applicable
a very long and overly complicated way of attempting to demonstrate that a coin flip is not a true random event, neither is the spinning of the roulette wheel. These are well understood problems in applied physics (I remmember studying them years ago - true randomness is very difficult to obtain). However, their relevance to gambling and the casino's edge is minute. Of far greater significance is the item that you chose to explicitly ignore - which is the 0. That is the column that tilts the wheel of fortune into a casino's favour.

That's the whole point, it's the zero and the fact that a gambler can not double up more than six times. If a gambler could double and their funds were infinite they would clean out the Casino, it's on my web page I did not ignore it.
