A roulette wheel has a 49% chance (or something i can’t remember but for the sake of this discussion we can just call it 50%) of landing on either black or red. i feel like every time it lands on red, the odds of it landing on red again next spin go down, but also logically i know the odds reset for each spin because the numbers still add up to 50%. Why is it not the former? What is this magic?

Each spin is completely independent from the previous one, so previous outcome doesn’t have any affect. You remember what happened on the last spin, the wheel and ball have no historic memory. Equipment is the same, technique is the same, odds of either outcome is the same.
