LME Warrant premiums

Was wondering - is the LME price a reflection of the average of all warrant premiums across all locations? In other words, is it true that, on average, you can expect to make 0 profit from receiving warrants, because your wins/losses should average out over time?

Say Chicago is a "hot" warehouse with +$100 premiums and Antarctica is "cold" with -$100 on the warrants. It would only be fair if there's an equal amount of Chicago and Antarctica warrants - or am I wrong? Can anyone explain?
