A visible streak does not rewrite the wheel.

Q: Is it true that black is due after many reds?

Fact: on an independent fair wheel, previous colours do not make the opposite colour more likely on the next spin. The zero pockets also mean red/black are not 50/50 propositions.

Q: Is it true that a progression changes the edge?

Fact: changing stake size changes volatility and bankroll path. It does not change the payout attached to the underlying wheel outcomes.

Q: Is it true that hot numbers must keep running?

Fact: a frequency table describes observations. Unless there is credible evidence of a physical or procedural bias, frequency alone is not a mechanism for predicting the next pocket.

Roulette produces patterns because random sequences contain patterns. A recent run can be real history without being useful prediction.
