I wouldn't quite go that far. The fact that markets can remain irrational longer than participants can remain solvent means that participants with deeper pockets have an inherent advantage, even if they have less information. How quickly a random walk will take you to zero depends on how far above the baseline you start.

I do think they have deeper pockets because they are more informed/sophisticated players, so the whole argument is kind of circular.
