The Chicago Board of Trade's DJIA Futures contract is a futures contract on the entire Dow Jones Industrial Average. This one's REALLY weird, so hang on:
The value of this contract is 10 times the Dow Jones Industrial Average. If the Dow is 10,000 today, the price of a futures contract on it is $100,000.
Next, on the date of settlement cash is delivered, not 300 shares of stock.
Third, this futures contract requires daily settlement payments, and this is why the DJIA futures contract is so weird. You and I are counterparties to one of these things. You're the futures buyer, or the long; I am the futures seller, or the short. The Dow was at 9000 when we did the deal, so you paid me $90,000, which went into my brokerage account. If the Dow closes tomorrow at 9010, I have to pay you $100--ten times the delta in the Dow. Similarly, if the Dow closes tomorrow at 8990, you pay me $100.

I have no clue what you mean by the "Theory of Averages."
If you are asking about "mean reversion" then the answer is that trading costs and capital limitations tend to prevent you from using strict mean reversion. There's also the question of what mean you are expecting to see reversion to, and how long you are willing to wait. You might wait 5 or six years for a mean reversion move out of the mess we are currently in. Who knows?
