Oracle, have you considered that looking backwards, one will always be able to see what HAS BEEN HOT?
If you doubt that, just go to a casino and stand next to a roulette wheel.
One may see patterns based upon color, odd or even, halves or thirds, and occasionally things really outlandish.
I mean no disrespect, but what you are doing here is REPORTING the PAST as opposed to PREDICTING the FUTURE.
All good fun but I would not put money on this.

Hey Dave
I can't predict the future but the best I can do is examine the past and try to learn from it, basically I have given up on handicapping it just doesn't work for me so I try to follow the streaks until they run their course
Believe it or not I have actually cashed more tickets following streaks than I ever have by handicapping some times at a profit
It's obviously not for everyone but for now it works for me
To each his own I guess
Also, to your point about the casinos red vs green or odd vs even those are the stats that intrigue me I guess I would rather be in the know than to just play randomly
It may not increase my chance of winning but I'm sure the casinos would rather not have people know those stats
So yes, Dave you are correct I am just reporting the past and hoping some of the trends hold I'm not trying to predict the future that's a bit beyond me right now
