I understand what you mean about RLM......but its 50/50 at best this year IMO.......

Yesterday's game with RLM went 4-0. For the season slightly above .500

That's my second favorite example ha ha.

My first is when people have favorite hands in poker other than AA. "But the flop always seems to come Jxx with spades so I'm never folding AJ or anything with spades." Just to show you how silly this is (and people really do believe it), AA wins more money in poker than every other hand combined. Why would you have a favorite hand other than the hand that makes the most money? But people really do believe they can see the future for some reason when it's just completely random.

Gamblers fallacy i.e. "The coin landed heads the last three times so it has to land tails now." You'd be surprised how many so called expert touts still believe this is true (goes for the public too). Just silly.

They're completely independent events so what happened in the previous coin tosses does not affect the outcome of the next coin toss.

In the case of Bengal's ATS streak, it tells me that Bengals don't play conservative when they get a lead.

Gamblers fallacy doesn't apply to sports betting. A coin flip is always 50/50, and they never change the odds on the roulette table, the payouts remain the same odds. In sports betting the lines are fluid and always moving, so depending on what number you got someone does have the chance of getting better odds than a coin flip.

Correct it doesn't directly apply. But when someone says games have gone over x times so the next game has to go under, its along the same line of thinking as gamblers fallacy. So technically it doesn't apply given odds change and coinflips stay 50/50, that's right.
