The law of averages states that everything will even itself out in the long run.

7d Law of Averages = Evening Out, as in 'rounding up or down' as distinct from a night at the opera!

dundurn

'evening out' as in 'smoothing'/ 'not subject to the influence of individual results', not as in 'a period of external entertainment after the hours of darkness'!
