*ahem*

Given that machines are programmed to pay out certain percentage over time, i.e. are "a negative EV game," then must it not follow that when a player claims he has beaten the casinos out of a lot of money over time that a necessary corollary to the claim is that he has turned it into "a positive EV game?"

Otherwise that only leaves luck, cheating, and leprechauns.
No. People win at -EV games.
NOT consistently and NOT for many years straight showing a profit.
