Seriously! three times...the individual vs. combined probability.

[tz]

Yes, this stuff happens more commonly than you would expect.

Casinos handle millions of bets and this pattern occurs around one in 50000 times, which means that for every million bets you're expecting 3 greens to come together around 20 times.

Gambler's fallacy is a hell of a drug sometimes...

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

It can happen, the odds says 1:1369 not 1 after 1369, there's always the chances that stuff can happen consecutive times in a row. Probably it was just the right time and betting that made those things happen.

[Saint-loup]

Probability is not certainty, you have far better odds of some event happening but its always possible for anything to occur.   The casino itself will operate on this basis in order to leverage an average profit but at times also the casino will be paying out money all day and will not make a profit because that day the gamblers won on average.  Its part of the game that what should happen wont always occur, trips up alot of people .  
  I try to play the long game for this reason because I dont expect to get lucky off one bet even if an event is probable I need to be winning multiple times to do well usually.

It seems you didn't get it, it was a roulette wheel game then getting a 3 green zeros streak is not a bad day for the casino, it's the jackpot day, because when one green zero comes out at the roulette game not any player wins at the table, only the house does. And usually after a green zero outcome players bet bigger stakes because they think there are less chances to get a second green zero in a row. Then after two green zeros I think no one at the table thought a third green zero in a row could come out.

Probabilities is indeed there but knowing those odds or chances then its really hard to consider on having that consecutive hits that it do follow up some pattern but hey its plausible.

When someone do able to hit up something and have attached some activity or something like charm or anything a gambler could attached of then this is where new belief comes in.

This would be used more in future gambling activities to come and thats how dumb human brain is.

[South Park]

If it happens 2 times, and it is less strange that it happens consecutively (1/1369), but 3 times or more, at least I had not seen it. And I asked myself, how difficult is it for this to happen?

The roulette in this case consists of 37 numbers so the probability that a number will come up is 1/37 point. It's that easy. And in each turn it is an independent event from the other, so the probability remains the same.

But if we combine these individual events in the probability that they repeat 1,2,3, etc. "x" times in a row we use the combined, which in this case is 1 / 37x1 / 37x1 / 37 = 1/50653

And here the point that can mislead our minds, the simple probability that it comes out for the fourth time is 1/37 because to reach that fourth time obviously the combined probability has already been exceeded.

This happens a lot, however it may seem to be very unlikely that something like this happens, however lets take a look at the next sequence: 23, 12 and 9, nothing special seems to be going on however the odds of this sequence appearing are the same 1 in 50653, however since the numbers are all different and with no apparent relationship then we think nothing of it, but if we see three zeros coming in a row then that sequence seems special when in fact it is not.

hi,
I understand your point, but if it is difficult very difficult, you just don't understand it or I think you are a bit confused in the utility of probabilities for your benefit.

Let's start with the fact that roulette has independent events, so that any combination that you think of with 3 or 4 numbers comes out, for example 23,12,9 is difficult. Not because such a combination does not happen in the randomness of roulette, but because of the fact that for someone betting to hit the number 3 times in a row; whether this number is the same or different, it requires a probability of 0.002%.

What you mention, although it is understood, because it was said is the same as "independent events".

Now, in this case you only bet on "0" the probability that it comes out three times is the same as 23,12,9 or any other, it seems that not but all combinations of three numbers have the same probability, it is that way simple.

There is something called the principle of improbability, some call it rarities, e.g. in the case that the same number is repeated it is a rarity, so that, we believe it, but not because the probability is different it is because someone achieves that feat.

[RealMalatesta]

If it happens 2 times, and it is less strange that it happens consecutively (1/1369), but 3 times or more, at least I had not seen it. And I asked myself, how difficult is it for this to happen?

To be honest, as strange and near impossible it is to land the same 3 numbers one after the other, it's the same odds of any number landing. I will explain with an example

Imagine if numbers 12, 18 and 30 arrived in 3 random spins of the roulette wheel. Now, what was the probability of each of them occurring? It's again the same 1/37 x 1/37  x 1/37

Getting three 0s can be devastating for a roulette game where casino doesn't give the choice of betting on 0, believe me, there are such roulette games. I don't remember where I saw it but they consider 0 as their house edge and give you the rate-rate odds for the other numbers. So, basically you get 2x on red and black instead of 1.98 or so but then you lose if green 0 is the result.

[semobo]

It can happen, the odds says 1:1369 not 1 after 1369, there's always the chances that stuff can happen consecutive times in a row. Probably it was just the right time and betting that made those things happen.

Simply a coincidence I guess because we can't really test this and prove the strategies especially in roulette like games on the online platform.

Gambling is just an entertainment factor but when you got enough luck you can make money with it.

[Natsuu]

In the end, probability is just a guide to help us think of our action that will give us the best chance to win, and the thing is that the probability will always be true, but the expected outcome is not.

one great example of the gambler's fallacy that was specifically mentioned many times already is that moment when your number in a roulette does not show for 15 times in a row so you bet that it will show in the next 15.

Hi, RealMalatesta  

In the development of the thread it is has been commented in fact if you look at post above #27 it is commented.

As for the other that you comment, there are also those that allow 0 and double 00, in a certain way the house advantage grows, in the so-called American roulette.

House edge

The house average or house edge or house advantage (also called the expected value) is the amount the player loses relative for any bet made, on average. If a player bets on a single number in the American game there is a probability of 1⁄38 that the player wins 35 times the bet, and a 37⁄38 chance that the player loses their bet. The expected value is:
−1 × 37⁄38 + 35 × 1⁄38 = −0.0526 (5.26% house edge)

For European roulette, a single number wins 1⁄37 and loses 36⁄37:
−1 × 36⁄37 + 35 × 1⁄37 = −0.0270 (2.70% house edge)

For triple-zero wheels, a single number wins 1⁄39 and loses 38⁄39:
−1 × 38⁄39 + 35 × 1⁄39 = −0.0769 (7.69% house edge)

1396 odds isn't that big and sometimes the wins can really happen consecutively so it's nothing to worry about and it's not like it's a rare occasion, pretty sure that with so many people gambling, it's more unlikely for this to not happen than for it to happen.

[Lakai01]

1396 odds isn't that big
-snip-

The odds are 1: 50653. That means it happens about once in 51,000 games. I don't know how busy OP's casino is, but I can well imagine that 51k games are played here in a relatively short period of time - possibly even within one day. So if that's the case that's about once a day. So the whole thing no longer sounds quite so unlikely.

[zanezane]

That's probably a coincidence but at the same time a thing that can happen. It's not like the odds said that the wins shouldn't be consecutive.

Exactly, the odds says the chances of you winning the gamble. I don't see why it's a big issue other than the fact that that person is just probably in the right place at the right time with his gamble, it's the way of the game, sometimes it favors others more than us.

"that person is just probably in the right place at the right time with his gamble"? I'm sorry but I don't understand who the hell you're talking about zanezane? Three green zeros consecutively came out according to the picture and from what famososMuertos has told, then it means that nobody has won anything around the table, it's the first rule of the roulette game and certainly the most important of all of them.

[uneng]

Even though you don't win anything with this sequence, someone must be really lucky to face it during a live roulette session.

Just got curious to see what was the maximum repeated number sequence rolled and found out it was six times registered twice in history: one in 2000 at Caesar’s Palace, when the number 7 appeared six times in a following sequence and another in 1959 at San Juan Hotel (Puerto Rico), when number 10 also appeared six times. It means 1 chance in 3.01 billion of happening. Do you know a higher record?

If 3 times in a roll is already shocking for many, imagine how 6 times would look like if you suddenly faced it during your peaceful daily game.

[Darker45]

That's cool. Although, yeah, it is not that rare, but it's something to have encountered it yourself. Of course, it was kind of cool to have placed a bet on a green when the previous winning number was the same, and cooler even on the third time, but I doubt somebody would easily do that given the fact that there are 37 numbers all in all and hitting the same number three times in a row is highly unlikely. But there you have it, that's random gambling right there.

[Cling18]

Not surprising and this is a common behavior for most gamblers on whenever they do saw some patterns then later on they do make out presumptions that neither do hit or not and when it happens then for sure

they would really be sticking out into their minds that it does work and surely be used on future games to come but once reality do slap you in the face then you would surely tell this thing to yourself that

no guaranteed strategy works in gambling unless if you are dealing with strategic based types of games like poker but speaking with luck-based then it's impossible, everything is random.

That's also the reason why gamblers are advised not to believe presumptions because it could only lead to confusion and later on make it a strategy that could also give us losses. We should keep in mind that gambling could mostly give us a good profit by luck.

[leea-1334]

If you play at crypto casinos with challenges,,, you will see that this possibility happens many times daily. Imagine every day at a casino like bitvest, you will see players hit over 1000x many times in the high roller or high wins leaderboard.

I have even seen challenges for roulette to hit a number 4 or 5 times in a row and many players will get it.

I play auto of 100k rolls easily in a few hours so by math, you can easily hit a streak like that in 1 session

[goldkingcoiner]

Well the real question is: are you really going to argue with the mathematics of probability just because you saw/might have seen a pattern? Sounds dangerously close to the edge of hopeful thinking and superstition to me. Indeed math says that the probability of getting the same 1/37 for 4 times is less than a 50000th or if you prefer percentages: then about 0.002%. I think you should go with the math with this one.

Hi,
I think the dangerous thing here is to say that if the green come out 4 times the probability is 0.002%.
So "you can't go against math"; the probability that 0 or any number will come out 4 times is 0.00005%.

Part of the point of bringing the OP to discussion lies in what is commented on in its source:
 

... He claims to have personally been at the table in the summer of 2000 on roulette wheel number 211 in Caesar’s Palace. At approximately half past one in the afternoon, the ball landed in the number 7 six times in a row.
