Well, there are two ways to look at it: First is the deterministic view, in that nothing is random; everything is predictable. The second is that some things happen randomly, and if a card room uses those to determine the cards that come out, then they can generate truly random numbers.
The fact is, if you take the deterministic view, that people will eventually be able to figure it out. When you say that there's no way, you're basically saying that we've done the absolute best possible, there's no way we're doing better.
Which is not unlike the famous quote: "Everything that can be invented has been invented!"
Even then, though, we're likely to find another thing to base random numbers off of.
There is the view that there are things that are perfectly random, though. I think this is fairly self-explanatory.
Either way, though, we don't know how to predict them now, so it's not like there are people who know that they'll catch a miracle card on the river or some such.
