Anyone who plays roulette often enough will start to
see, or at least imagine, a mystical relationship between the various
numbers that come up. Is it really just chance that causes the ball
to land in one pocket and not another? Gaming experts would say that
it is all luck that determines which number is the winner. And anyone
with experience in roulette would vouch for the fact that there is no
way to predict which number will win. And that's why we choose sets
of numbers, so that we cover more numbers to increase our chances of
winning. One set that will appeal to the mystically minded is the set
of prime numbers. That set is surprisingly large in the context of a
roulette wheel. So it's not a bad strategy to use when choosing a set
of numbers to play over and over again. Of course, no set of numbers
really has any advantage over any other set. Statistics over a long
enough period of time will show that the ball's path is entirely
random. That can be seen clearly when comparing roulette to other
types of internet gaming such as solving mazes or crosswords. Those
brain activities follow a path that is entirely pre-determined. There
is no point it trying to "solve" a game of roulette because
the result is entirely random and no one knows how it will turn out.
