I took statistics in college and I was a bad at it. So, the coin-lunch reference in the article would have make me raise my hand and ask: Would not be the case that if a coin toss gives me eagle 1k times in a row, there is something wrong with the coin toss? I know the chance if 50/50. The only way to prove it is by testing it. If a casino has now winners for one year and the regulators say that their tables are legit, well, something is rotten in Denmark.
