gambler's fallacy  

Definición

  • The gambler's fallacy is a common invalid inductive inference. It involves the mistaken intuition or belief that the likelihood of a particular outcome of a process that generates independent random events increases as a function of the length of a run of consecutive non-occurrences of that outcome.
