Same with dice. Guy throws a dice and 6 doesn't come up within 10 throws. Each time, he thinks that now is the time for that 6 to appear....No it won't. It resets to a 1 in 6 chance each time he throws it.
Same with roulette. It can hit a black space 15 times and with each one that hits black, the human mind leans more and more towards the red...
