Many players who enjoy gaming and playing casino games believe that they can beat the odds. In many cases this is due to the fact that people have a hard time in believing in random events and they believe that they can find a pattern within the maze and predict the random outcome. Many players go further and believe that all random events are the result of a mathematical algorithm. Randomness is indeed a mathematical concept however, the fact that random events can be described mathematically does not mean that they are deterministic. In fact, their predictability is irrelevant. To call something random is simply to state that the observer does not know what the outcome will be. Many events that we perceive as random are in fact deterministic by nature, but, they are so complex that it is impossible for us to determine what the result will be. A good example of this is players who play the game of roulette whether online or at the land based casino and they have theories on the outcome of the game such as the value of making a wager using prime numbers. Where the ball lands on the roulette wheel is indeed related to the amount of force used to throw the ball as well as the spinning of the wheel, in practice however it is impossible to predict where the ball will land. Players need to be aware that even though a pattern may indeed occur, these patterns do not predict future events.
