This ignores the role of the "landscape"; i.e. if upon rolling a 6, one takes
over ownership
of the casino, then a 6 opens up a whole new landscape for prosperity for the
gambler in that the gambler now becomes the recipient of the favourable odds.
In nature, self organized criticality plays such a role in that a system
bifurcates into a realm that favours further evolution of the original
fluctuation.
