Supposedly there is no such thing as being “due for a win” in say, roulette. “Smart” people know that any coin flip is independent of all others and is equally likely to be heads or tails. But... we know it is unlikely to get 20 heads in a row... so if you just saw the coin flip come up heads 19 times would the smart money be on betting on tails?! How do we reconcile this... stats goons???

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.
If you saw a coin flip heads 19 times in a row then it's probably just loaded and the smart money is not betting at all as the scammer is going to weasel out of paying if you figure it out or enact violence if you persist.

No, the smart money is betting on heads because that coin is most likely biased.

The outcome of the prior does not affect the probability of the future so yes, there is no such thing as "due for a win."

Theoretically, if you could gamble this way, the "smart bet" would be to bet that in 1000 (or more) coin tosses, 50% will be heads +/- a percentage point, assuming a fair coin, because the more tosses you have an a defined period, the more likely you are to observe the statistical 50%.

You should bet heads because it's rather likely to be a trick coin. Bayes' theorem.

If the head is wearing a hat then bet on it, if not throw it in the trash for it is a garbage coin.

No, planes can take off because of vacuums and the engine that powers the wheels.

Why the gently caress would a plane have wheels otherwise?

this is a myth perpetuated by Big Math to hide the simpler, more obvious truth.

colors are actually the result of chemicals that absorb or bouce off photos.

so a "black" square is absorbing more photos, while a red square bounces more out.

this is why you should always bet on black.

if you took a snapshot of all the dicks in the world <RIGHT NOW> and then aligned them in size order and if they were erect it would be a 1 and if flaccid then 0 and when you compiled that code of 1's and 0's you would open a portal to heaven
