Casino owners prefer inexperienced players because "an average inexperienced player does not have sufficient skill at the game to win". or it means "that low experience = low skill = low chances of winning" . The only inference that could be made from this is that, with more experience chances of winning would be more (reverse causality).Which one of the following can be inferred from the above argument?

Ans B explains the same thing.
point D has "expect to" which doesnt help this option. a simple statement "Inexperienced players lose more money than do experienced players, when playing poker at casinos." should have been a correct choice.
Hence Ans B it is.
