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?

It’s the same event with nothing changing so the odds stay the same.

Of course for it to keep happening the odds go up due to the odds of it hitting the same 50% repeatedly are unlikely when there is only 2 outcomes that are both equally possible
