Ever think of hot streaks when you play? Let's say luck base games such as slots or roulette? As per definition,

A run of good "luck" or winning hands

Or maybe some of us here have been captivated or even experience with this kind of winning successively in a given night? For me, yes, I had this incredible run in a roulette games wherein I was so lucky that night that I have a streak of winning 10 consecutive single bet numbers and I have ended with a lot of money about 2-3 weeks ago and I can't believed it.

However, I try to do some research and there are no basis for it, I guess I was just so lucky that night.

How about you guys, have you experienced it before? Did you really feel invincible and thought that you are in a streak and no one can stop you? Or you just believed that you are just lucky and games are still govern by chances and probability that this so called "hot streaks" are just a myth?
There is no such thing as hot streak. You just got lucky and nothing else. Everything else that you feel is just gamblers fallacy. But you do feel quite the opposite. I have seen people that after a long streak, the feel vulnerable. Not invincible. They feel like they will lose the next bet so they try to stop. The same is true for the opposite. After a long losing streak they feel like they will win the next bet. But the win or loss isn't determined by your winning or losing streak. And probably you feeling invincible is just a way to convince yourself to continue playing (greed).
