Roulette is a casino game falling under what mathematicians call as “independent trial processes” category. This simply means that in the game, the previous spins can in no way influence the result of the next spin. A lot of gamblers fall into the trap of believing that since the ball had landed on black for already three in a row, then the ball is likely to land in red in the next. This is not so since the ball doesn’t have a memory.
