Musings on a fallacy...

It's too late now, you've let the Gini out of the bottle.

Speaking of bottles, you are 99% safe with them, but buy no meal at Burger King, their Quartile Pounder's have been known to contain Poisson.

Funny example of this recently. Playing in a Sixpak £20 on crypto, as close as I can remember it I had recieved 3 bad beats in a row from one of the players who had initally been very short, and he continued to push against my blind, the other players were amazed that I didn't call him the fourth time he pushed, 100/200 blinds both of us have around 2k 1800 to call with 72o. It doesn't matter though apparently, because having been unlucky the past three times made me more likely to win the hand, I probably should have kept quiet but I tried to explain that it didn't matter. "if you flip 99 heads in a row what is the probability the 100th flip will land heads, 50/50 right?" Apparently the chances of it being heads are tiny. Cracked me up but it's kinda mental how so many people risk their money with no understanding of probability whatsoever.
