The probability of seeing 20 reds in a row is unlikely, but does happen, which is why the martinglae is such a dangerous system, even though red and black do even out over time.
What I find amazing, and a bit off topic is horse racing 'evs' shots. Their chance of winning is expected at 50% and they do in fact win 49% since 1996!! Just looking at the smaller priced horses tells me that SP is there for a reason as the odds are very nearly 'true', albeit slightly in the bookmakers favour. Sorry to go off topic, but I find it truly amazing that they can put a horse to a price and overtime see these odds matched nearly exactly as they should be over- which has been the case for the past 10 years! The bookmakers only make their big money on people backing the higher priced horses, as the 'expected' and 'true' odds deviate in a perfect curve as the price gets higher!
