Just answer the question. What are the chances a roulette wheel hits 11 blacks in a row.

0.048828125%

On the margin though, like in his example, the odds of the next roll being black is 50%.

How many times do we get to try it? Because the more times you get to try it the higher the probability that it will happen. If we get to try it until it happens, then 100%.

(18/38)^11 = 0.0002694 or 0.02694%.
