Why is everyone so fond of 7-red on roulette?

Many avid players have their lucky numbers. It happens whether because of the frequent wins when betting on the same number, according to numerology or because the fortune teller divined-is unknown. Although all those same owners lucky numbers can with full seriousness explain its attachment to numbers. However, repeatedly proven statistical theory does not allow the existence of luck numbers in the game of roulette. But do not rush to reconsider your opinion about the happy numbers, especially if you are inspired by the stories of Ashley Revel and Chris Boyd.
Englishman Chris Boyd is remembered for the fact that in the 90s, after three years of accumulation 220 000$ went to the casino exclusively for the game of roulette. In order to make a bet, he went to Las Vegas, the place of the best gambling and high stakes. Since he wanted to wager the entire amount at a time, many casinos refused him. On the terms of the computer genius went only to Binion's Horseshoe Casino.

seven red fell on the roulette wheel

 In this casino roulette symbol 00 was not simple, indicating that the house edge is 2.7%. Casino management agreed to increase the limit to $ 100,000 so that Boyd could place a bet of $ 220,000. After a light warm - up, the entire amount in the bet red/black was put on "red". The ball stopped at 7 red, and Boyd won a large sum. Afterward, he gave a party and vowed never to play roulette.
A follower of Boyd and Ashley Revell became the hero of roulette. He certainly didn't spend years accumulating the right amount. Ashley made it easier: sold all his property, namely the house, car, furniture, clothes. Having received for parting with the acquired $ 135,300, he also went to Las Vegas. His game was watched by sky One reporters, so the story of his victory quickly became public.
Ashley Revell risked everything, because in addition to losing money he could be nothing but just a bum, after all, no house or anything else he had. But when he got to the casino, he made a bet on red, and the ball, as if by magic, stopped at 7 red. Following Boyd's lead to the end, Revel threw a big victory celebration.
These two similar stories convince many players that 7 red is definitely a lucky number. The legendary British, of course, did not bet on 7, but for some reason, in both cases, the red seven was the reason for winning at roulette.
Whether or not to refer to this number or any other as successful, bringing gains - especially your right. But, I want to repeat once again that statistics do not allow lucky numbers in roulette.
