Question 465315: 1. Suppose you decide to bet on red on each of 10 consecutive spins of the roulette wheel. Suppose you lose all five of the first wagers, which means that on the first five spins of the wheel, red has not come up once. Which of the following is true?
A. The wheel is not working properly. It favors outcomes that are not red. Hence, during the next five spins of the wheel, we’re likely to continue to see few red outcomes.
B. What happened on the first five spins tells us nothing about what will happen on the next five spins.
C. We’re due for a win, so the sixth spin of the wheel is very likely to come up red.
D. You should get more spins of red on the next five spins of the wheel because we didn’t get any on the first five spins. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
