THE DICE OWE YOU NOTHING
Your brain wants chance to keep score. The dice have other ideas.
You have lost five times.
So now you are due a win.
Right?
No.
The dice do not know that you are annoyed.
A coin does not remember landing heads five times. If the tosses are genuinely independent, the next one has not been magically instructed to restore cosmic balance.
Your brain dislikes this.
It wants the universe to keep score:
Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads.
“Right. Tails must be next.”
No.
The universe does not have a spreadsheet.
Every new game begins with one slightly irritating fact:
chance owes you absolutely nothing.
