Quote:Most, if not all, successful gamblers learn to recognize "lucky streaks" when it happens to them and when it happens to other people so that they can adjust their play style accordingly.
Then most, if not all, successful gamblers are fooling themselves on this point.
Lucky streaks are a statistical phenomenon. They appear only by looking back at the data.
Unless someone is rigging your games, previous wins do not affect future odds, at least in the sense of luck.
