Not necessarily.  If you go up to the roulette table and bet on red, you
will win 18/37 of the time.  That has nothing to do with your knowledge
of probability, little balls, or anything else.  It has nothing ot do
with the croupier's knowledge.  That probability is objective: it is
a property of the wheel and the ball, not of any observer's state of
mind.  That probability is absolute enough to support a very large
industry.

Now replace the roulette wheel by a device that fires photons through
a polarising filter.  If you bet on H, you will win 1/2 of the time.
That probability, too, is objective: it is a property of the filter
and the photon.
