Apple is not denominated in oil, or it would have to be taken into account.
That was kind of my point.
Apple isn't denominated in oil, and SatoshiDice isn't denominated in dollars.

Cross currency valuation acts like a fulcrum. Replace bitcoins with euros in calculations and the same situation arises.
