But the difference between me and most is that I understand it is possible, and I have mentioned before that nothing is 100% certain. I go by the odds, and play the odds when they are in my favor, not when they are not. Have I lost some battles? Absolutely, but never lost a war.
2- Why in the world do people care, and care to comment on things they haven't even tried? It's shocking really. Is it cause people here just like to argue? It's like males commenting on what it's like to give birth.

Again, no one has to beleive, and I am not forcing my facts / statistical proof on anyone, so it's time to move on.
1. But doesn't the Monte Carlo Fallacy essentially refute the notion that "after black has hit 3 times in a row, it is statistically higher than 50/50 that red will hit"?

2. Just trying to find out more about your method. Sorry that I'm not rushing out to a casino right now to try it and get back to you.
