The gambler's fallacy<span>, also known as the </span>Monte Carlo fallacy<span> or the </span>fallacy of the maturity of chances<span>, is the mistaken belief that, if something happens more frequently than normal during some period, it will happen less frequently in the future, or that, if something happens less frequently than normal during some period, it will happen more frequently in the future (presumably as a means of </span>balancing<span> nature). In situations where what is being observed is truly random (i.e., </span>independent<span> trials of a </span>random process<span>), this belief, though appealing to the human mind, is false. This </span>fallacy<span> can arise in many practical situations although it is most strongly associated with </span>gambling<span> where such mistakes are common among players.
so in other words... in the humans mind we believe this belief to be false</span>
