document.write( "BUT THE POINT IS THAT HAVING ALREADY ACHIEVED 2 DOUBLES OR NOT FOR THAT MATTER,EACH THROW IS INDEPENDENT AND THE PROBABILITY IN THAT PARTICULAR THROW ONLY IS NEITHER MORE NOR LESS...SO PREDICTING THAT THE PROBABILITY OF GETTING A DOUBLE AGAIN REPEAT AGAIN IS NEXT TO NOTHING IS NOT REPEAT NOT CORRECT.IT IS NOT AFFECTED BY PREVIOUS RESULTS.ONLY WHEN YOU TRY TO PREDICT IN THE BEGINING THAT ACHIEVING 3 DOUBLES IN 3 THROWS IS VERY SMALL IS OK </SPAN>\n" );
