Long-term the statistics won't change one way another. An anomalous quarter is just a tiny hiccup in the long term big picture.
Therefore of this brings in additional gamblers the odds are for him making a killing.

The change in the number of gamblers will also be just a tiny bump in the long term trend.

There are certain business that rely on odds. If the business is properly capitalized, any short term swing is not going to have an adverse effect, as long as the business keeps on being managed properly for the long term. Even big swings one way or another, should not scare management, or get them excited.

My point was just that it is stories like this one that convince people that they can beat the odds.

That is true, but the effect of that will ultimately be minimal.

Bottom line does this create an investment opportunity in WYNN?  ;)

Possibly for a mid term trade considering the $10 drop over a short term anomaly which can be countered by an opposite short term anomaly.

crazy stuff... does DNA testing have any validity in halacha?
This definitely qualifies as one of the more interesting ones.

I have heard of it being used in conjunction with other evidence.

Tons of stories like this. Basically, the ancestry ones are not accurate.  They can tell if your father is your father but not if your grandfather was Irish.

and does it have validity in halacha for determining your parents?
also as they get better and they get more accurate in determine ancestry will that be used to determine things like status as a kohen?

Kehuna is dependent on his not being a chalal so there are probably numerous chalalim who now go around as yisraelim.
