Dozens in Roulette

[ROBROY01]

Hello all! Stuck thinking a little about Roulette. What are the odds that a certain dozen won't hit for, say 10 or 11 spins? Would the odds be in a player's favor if they kept betting on that same dozen for those 10-11 times? Thanks!

This is a foolish pursuit.

The roulette wheel does not remember what has gone on in the past. The probability of ANYTHING is the same for EVERY spin.

I can sell you some history tracking software if you like. This, of course, would be 100% in the classification of taking advantage of a fool.

Not a very helpful reply. I am not interested in Roulette. It was merely a question of probability and nothing more...NOT about your personal opinion about gambling.

Anyone else?

You entirely missed the point. I commented ONLY on the probability. Read more carefully. I said nothing of my views on gambling. Seriously, read that middle sentence a couple more times and try to let go of your first, and unmotivated, impression.
