# Gambler's Fallacy Activity Pack | Logical Fallacy | Critical Thinking Activities **Price:** $12.95 AUD **Seller:** TeachBuySell Seller **Year Levels:** noYearLevel **Subjects:** english ## Description (seller-submitted) You flip a coin and get heads five times in a row. Tails HAS to be next, right? Nope. It's still 50-50. The coin doesn't remember what happened before. But your brain does - and that's the problem.

This pack tells the story of one of the most famous nights in gambling history - the Monte Carlo Casino incident of 1913. During a game of roulette, the ball landed on black 26 times in a row. The chances of that? One in 127,000,000. But it actually happened. Picture the scene - a small ball clicking around a wheel, people gasping with each spin, and crowds of gamblers rushing to bet on red. They were sure red "had to come next" after so many black spins. Excited and hoping to win back what they'd lost, the gamblers made a big mistake.
