Just to clarify. If you went to the table and tried to get odds on 10 red spins, you'd get good odds because the chances of guessing the sequence of 10 spins is unlikely. But that's not what you're doing.

When you play the lottery, you're betting on a single draw. Every ball has an equal chance of coming out and no previous draw has any influence on that. It's a complete illusion to think any ball or set of balls is somehow due.



Told you I go on law of averages. See whose right.
