Well lets say i go to a dice site that has no house edge and i start betting on 50%
Now the chances of loosing once are 50% and the chances of loosing twice are 25% and so on. So im betting 1 satoshi per bet and i lose 10 times in a row does that mean that the next bet has more chances of winning than the first bet that i made before the 10th loss?

No, the next bet chances are still 50%. You will either win or loss that bet. I've heard some crazy losing streak on dice site like Primedice, so even though the chances of loss streak are 1 in a trillion, it might still happen.

No but human nature will keep you betting until you win. That's why casinos show the results of the last spins on Roulette, even though they are utterly pointless. You have to think logically about it, what about the last spin/roll would affect the next spin/roll... nothing

The chance difference for each roll, in advance of the first roll, is ever increasing, but after the 10th consecutive losing roll the chance of the next is still 2 1. i.e. 50:50

The chances are always reset everytime you must make a bet, the previous one does not add up to you luck, just to the statistics.
That is the fallacy of the three door/goat showhost riddle. You have to reset all your chances every time and not add them up for the next gamble you take.

If the odds are truly 50/50 past results don't impact future probabilities. Even if you hit a long streak 1 way or the other, the results will approach 50/50 eventually, even though each individual flip will be 50/50. Let's use flipping a coin for an example.
You flip the coin 10 times and get 7 heads and 3 tails. So you have 70% heads
If the next 10 are 50/50 you have 12 heads and 8 tails: 60% heads
If the next 10 are 50/50 you have 17 heads and 13 tails: 56 2/3% heads
If the next 10 are 50/50 you have 22 heads and 18 tails: 55% heads
...
If the next 100 are 50/50 you have 72 heads and 68 tails: 51.4% heads
...
If the next 1000 are 50/50 you have 572 heads and 568 tails: 50.1% heads.
So the odds for each individual flip are still 50/50, but as we flip more and more coins the overall results head back towards 50%

I still dont get it, if it means you are unlucky means that there are more chances of winning the next bet. It is very unlikely to lose 30 times in a row flipping a coin. But, if you've already lost 29 in a row, you have already done the hard part, you've lost 29 in a row. The coin doesn't know that you've lost the first 29. After you've already lost 29 in a row, your odds of losing the 30th in a row are 50/50.
