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?
Only thing "real" about that run of good luck, is the feeling of it that we feel afterwards. And it's ok to call that lucky streak, because that's best word for it, but concept of that lucky streak is misunderstood, as we can't apply that to the future bets. Wins aren't happening often in next games because we had a lucky streak before them.
And even if we understand that it's all luck, we all have felt that. And we are evolved to seek patterns from a chaos like that. In reality such patterns would be more complex for any humans to benefit from. Because this has nothing to do with the pattern recognition that our brain does. Evolution for it happened for very different purposes.
