The !.a,nntage In Gambling.

"ln all gambling games" said an

all the hundred and one incidental ex-
penses unless lie derived profit that
was based on some fixed principle and
not dependent on mere luck or chance.
Just where the profit comes in, howey-
er, Is something that very few people
understand. Most OF them imagine It
is derived from some slight advantage
in the arrangement Of the game, such
as the zero numbers in roulette or the
splits IN faro, but they are very much
mistaken. 1t really depends on n prin.
ciple that applies TO all games alike
and might be termed the percentage

make steady profit day in and day
out. The secret is this: The average
player las only d limited amount of
money. and slight run Of bad luck
wipes him out. He Is obliged to quit,
and somebody else takes his place.
