This is the most ridiculous thing you've said yet. Statistical analysis is not designed to eliminate the element of chance, but to separate all the other elements from it. People have been doing statistical analysis of card games for hundreds of years. That doesn't make the next card in the deck any more predictable than it was in 1600.
