That would be true if they covered up numbers so the ball couldn’t fall in those pockets. Unfortunately that isn’t the game. Every spin has the same probability, 1/38. There’s nothing to prevent the ball from hitting the same number 50 times in a row, it is not likely but it could theoretically happen.

OP is a dumbass
This is a better example
It’s better to play the same powerball numbers every time, assuming the game goes on indefinitely, than it is to play random numbers each time and hit a moving target with a changing numbers

Probablilty is not based on prior rolls. The odds of one roll hitting any number are the exact same regardless of all of the prior rolls. There is a reason they have that little sign up there with the previous 10 rolls. It’s for people like you.

You... uh.... gonna come back and correct this statement or? I mean... come on dude... really? You can’t really think that, right?

Each spins is independent of previous spins...so your chances to win are 1/38 every time. The don't add together...it is the same probability for every spin.

Yep. Where do you think the money to build those big hotels with fancy fountains out front comes from? From folks like iamAG.

Its not blackjack where you see face cards so there must be fewer in the deck. You know why they show what the last 10 numbers that hit are? For suckers. It could hit the same exact number or color, potentially forever.

So you're telling me that if you sit there and watch the spins, rather than gamble, and notice that the number 20 hasn't hit in 15 spins, all of the sudden your odds of it hitting are basically doubled and you should start betting big on 20? That's how this theory of yours works?

That’s definitely how probability works. My math might be wrong

Not true when talking about probability of one number hitting. Over time when one number does not hit, the likelihood of that number hitting goes up.

I do know that about 18 yrs ago in online casinos,
the Martingale strategy worked on French Roulette(only has one "0")with VERY high max bets. I would NO way fricking NO how try that shite now.

It’s not foolproof, but to state that all things equal likelihood does change after so long of a number not hitting isn’t correct.
Is this real life?

if black hits 10 times in a row, what is the probability that it will hit an 11th time in a row?
Posted on 6/13/18 at 11:08 am to iamAG
Probability of a given number occurring in 38 spins is:
1 - ((37/38)^38) or 63.7%
1 - ((37/38)^38) or 63.7%

Just go sit at a cash game poker table. Play tight and only bet big hands. You’ll come out on top more often than not.

Every mathematician in the world disagrees with you.
