      And it’s way better to take the riskier option.

      • 70% chance of 100% return = 70% expected return
      • 30% chance of 500% return = 150% return

      They’re rewarding gambling. In real casinos, the larger the jackpot, the lower the expected return, generally speaking, so they’re conditioning you to take bigger risks.

      It’s not a real wager though since you can’t opt out.
