Re: Roulette: what to do after 100 'red'-spins

I was not really betting, but it was more about calculating the probabilties.
100 times red would suggest a unfair wheel, but it can only be a fair wheel if it can run 100 times red. It's a very small probability, but there is a probability.

But what if it was just 10 rounds of red? Would you still think the wheel was biased?
