What about if someone was playing a system in which he bet heavily on black after 5 reds in a row, and the casino was cheating by using magnets attached to the wheel which deflected the ball away from black and were turned on when the gambler started betting. There would then be a regular pattern to the outcomes, and the occurrence of the 5 reds WOULD affect the probability of occurrence of the next outcome. This would be a case of non-independent outcomes, right? | |
