Notice that this is from The Onion.
I have as "much" confidence in it’s validity, as I would for any other article.
You may notice the accompanying Article of Obama taking his daughters overseas so they can watch drone attacks.

They should have added that 93% of craps players were just about to take their bets down what the shooter 7ed out

I must agree with Noah—this is 100% BS. One should leave the table long before you get down to the last dollar!!!!

The Onion is a satirical publication. This was a joke.

The trick to this study and many more including PH’D publications is who paid for it? Many highly touted Universities conduct research that is paid for by legal firms that represent a variety of clients who have an interest in the outcome of the study. I did a little professional witness work and got prepared by a large firm for a possible legal issue they were forecasting would impact a client. And when they questioned me about my knowledge regarding what I was to testify on they informed me of the things that I referenced that they had funded. Kind of an eye opener.

Richard,
I think you were taken in by The Onion, don’t believe there was a study done.
