Too bad you lost your money

Its possible tho, you should allways remember that roulette has no memory. If the first roll comes red, the chance of the second roll to be red is again 50/50. The odds dont get bigger or smaller depending of the outcome of the previous roll.

It is further explained here: Gambler's fallacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ahh, but what about the 'Law of Averages' ??

That doesnt apply on such a small sample range, and certainly not on one bet

I agree with Dunbar here, thats way too small of a range.

Thats like saying I cant get KK on 5 out of 10 hands, but I have on more than one occasion.

Wow really, my Kings got cracked today, but i didn't lose too much.
I just re-read his post and it was only 4 red's in a row, not really enough for a conspiracy theory
