Can I give you something called The Gambler's Fallacy?

It's funny.

I knew I knew, I'm not going to sit here and claim.

I knew what gambler's fallacy was up until Rye Music, my producer, discussed it with me

earlier and then I immediately Googled it on my phone.

But it's, it's just this general idea, okay, that we think of percentages as, hey, if I, if I'm going to get a hit three times in 10 and I strike out or ground out or fly out the first seven times, well, then the next three times, statistically

speaking, I'm money. That's part of the gambler's fallacy. It's an erroneous belief that if a

particular event occurs more frequently than normal during the past, it's less likely to happen

the future, or vice versa.

When it has otherwise been established that the probability of such events does not depend on what has happened in the past,

such events having the quality of historical independence are referred to as statistically independent,

and the fallacy is commonly associated with gambling, where it may be believed, for example, that the next dice roll is more likely, is more usually likely to be six

because there have recently been less than usual the number of sixes. How does this approve,

how does this, how does this have anything to a sports godlieb?
