If you belive more in math than in randomnes you should play martingale. What is the odds of red popping up yet another time...

50%
 
 
Yeah, but there's already been a lot of reds.  Clearly you don't understand probability.  Eventually there has to be a black, and since there's been so many reds it's very unlikely it will continue to be red. 
 
So the chances are *way* less than 50%.  Black is a sure bet.

The chances of RED coming up on a fair table, no Green Zero or double zero etc.., are ALWAYS 50%. Even if there have been 1 million reds in a row before it.

As for the 'Deep-Time' stuff in the OP.. Way Cool..  Grin
