What I mean is that probability is strictly measured...when they make random chip generators for slot machines or print a million lottery tickets, there is a known probability of precisely which ones will be winners and how much they will pay. It is predetermined.
You're getting things mixed up. If something is random an individual event can't be predicted.
The universe, if it arose solely by chance, would arise from a mindless math concept that had, according to you, a set probability.
No, it could be random. In fact, given what we know about the quantum world it almost certainly was. But we're both out of our depth.
All you need to know as a gambler is that chance and probability ARE the same and that you have no influence on either no matter what you think and no matter how hard you pray.
