A month ago, the Wall Street Journal published an article titled “How Often Do Gamblers Really Win?”

Analyzing the gaming records of 4,222 players who played at the bwin casino during 2 years, they have found few interesting facts, especially regarding VIPs:

* Gamblers won money on 30% of the days they wagered

Being DB aces and reporting wizards you probably already know that. So this won’t come as a surprise as well –

* 11% of the players ended up winning over the full period, and most of those pocketed less than $150

How does it work for high rollers?

* Seven players won more than $5,000 over the two years, while 217 lost more than $5,000; a 31-1 ratio of big losers to big winners

Speaking of VIPs:

* 2.8% of the players provided half of the casino’s take, and 10.7% provided 80% of the take

And this brings us back to casino stats 101:

* Of the top 10% of bettors, about 95% ended up losing money
