lol at thinking MathWorld is perfect. You know it isn't just Weisstein, right?

Check out the 2nd last sentence of their Gambler's ruin page. (Refers to casinos.) The way it's written, it implies that even if casinos offered favorable games, they'd still come out ahead due to their "deep pockets". I pointed this error (or at best, poor wording) out to the maintainer years ago, but it's still there.

MathWorld is a great reference, but don't worship it.
