Yeah, but there's already been a lot of reds.
The game doesn't have a memory. It doesn't matter if there have just been 35 blacks in a row, 35 reds in a row, or any other combination. If we are talking about a properly balanced roulette wheel with no cheating influences and only an equal number of red and black results, then the chance that the next result will be red is exactly 50%.
Clearly you don't understand probability.
Yes. I do.
You, however, appear to be experiencing a common misunderstanding of the
Law of large numbers known as the
Gambler's fallacy.
Eventually there has to be a black,
While it is very likely that black will eventually occur, the odds that it will occur in the next trial are only 50%.
and since there's been so many reds it's very unlikely it will continue to be red.
This is completely false. It is exactly as likely that it will continue to be red as it is that it will continue to be black.
So the chances are *way* less than 50%.
No, they aren't.
Black is a sure bet.
It is not.
(while the odds do not change over time, and do not change as specific patterns occur, the odds DO change as other colors (such as green) are added to the possible result set.)
