6 spin sequence Hi,
Can anyone out there please tell me what the odds are of the same 6-spin sequence of dozens repeating i.e. dozens 1,3,2,2,3,2?
Cheers,
Simon

The chance of a dozen hitting once is 12/37 or 32.43%
Twice: 32.43% times 32.43% or 10.5%
Three times: 10.5% X 32.43% = 3.40%
Four: 3.4% X 32.43% = 1.1%
And so on...........
The chances of an event occurring does not change if you pick the same dozen, alternate dozens or a line of dozens like you posted. Coin toss, for example. If you say four heads will occur in a row. It is 50%, 25%, 12.5% and 6.25%. If you say it will be HTHT or THTH it is still the same.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
This is only the mathematical "truth". Over ten billion billion spins it will hold true. Over the next TEN spins, well, who knows? It might trend all first dozens....
