Not according to Wesley Snipes, one of the most successful movie-star / roulette players out there.

The preferred method of settling a retarded dispute on this site is to challenge your opponent to a HU match.

And from what you're saying, you think that if you flipped a fair coin 99 times and got H for everyone, that somehow affects the P of a H (or T) on the 100th flip?

Midnight is correct. Wesley Snipes actually has a great book out on the subject, called How To Win at Roulette and Throw a Nigga From an Airplane. Fascinating read.

I would think that would be obvious by this point.

Master, I really don't play online, but thank you for the offer.

You know..they have roulette simulators.
Here's what you do. Set it up to place a $5 bet on the roullete wheel on a color whenever that color has not rolled on the 5 previous rolls. Now, double that bet whenever it loses...since it is less and less likely to lose, you will HAVE to win at some point, right?
Go ahead, try it...see how long your 1k bankroll lasts.

If I repost this in the Books/Publication/Software forum, will I get a better answer?

If you keep posting this rubbish, you will get a better answer in exactly zero of the sections on two plus two. Try it.

Edit: I seriously think the OP is a troll after reading most of the thread.

If you flip a fair coin and it lands tail 19 times in a row

on the 20th flip the odds of it being heads are 50%

no more, no less.

The reason long term probabilities work is not because each tail makes an upcoming heads "more likely" but because a long term span will also eventually include a period of time where it comes 19 heads in a row.
