You are reflecting a human trait for seeing significance in patterns when there are none. Thats why the casinos in vegas make so much money.>>>>>>>>>>> w molloy, I've had that explained to me before and it makes good sense I suppose, I'm not that smart, all I know is I usually leave Vegas with as much if not more than when I came. See the thing I don't understand is that if the odds are 50/50 and the first 99 are heads, in order for the tosses to revert to the average my peabrain tells me there are a lot of tails coming. And in Vegas, well... BTW, If I saw 99 straight heads I'd first bet all my pocket $ on tails. If I lost I'd double again...... Pink slips??? <g>
