No doubt. You can't talk sense to trout when they get riled up though. Everyone wants to show off how they know how wrong the gambler's fallacy is in hopes that other 2p2ers will think they are smart.

To (some of) the posters in this thread: no one is impressed that you know the chance of a fair coin that has come up heads 10 times in a row will do so again is 50%. It does make you smart or special, and you are not impressing anyone. (This does not apply to those of you who were making a genuine albeit misguided attempt to help this troll.)
