Sorry to burst your bubble guys but that’s known as gamblers fallacy. Another example is when you see red come up 4 times in a row in roulette and think it’s got to be black next when in reality previous results have no bearing on it and it’s just as likely to be red again
True, but taken in context the odds of black become higher with each draw of red. If there is going to be 1 hundred draws and the 1st four or five are red then odds of black increase each time
That is completely false. the roulette table has no memory. Even if it was red 99 of the first 99 spins the chances of it coming up black on the 100th spin would still be exactly 50%.
Not 50% because there is also one green. House always wins.
Fair enough Micheal but rounding to make a point
Georgia will shoot on sight. Mc Carthy and Whealan will have to track back and put in the tackles to stop this because one deflected shot and it could be game over.
