Vegas of course doesn't keep building casinos because they lose.
My brothers both live in southern california with the rest of my family and they go to Vegas a lot. My wife and I go sometimes and I almost always resist the urge to bet on anything sports or cards or dice.
But a few years ago I was there during the opening weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament and it couldn't be helped. I made a modest bet but wanted big returns so I went with a 6 team teaser on the late games that afternoon/evening.
I hit the first 5 and was in a sports bar with my wife and brother watching the 6th and it was going my way. That is until the University of Texas lost at the buzzer on a beyond half court shot.
Moral of the story is Vegas doesn't build casinos because they lose.
