Streak Probability

Exact probability of seeing a winning or losing streak of a given length somewhere in a session, and the longest streak you should expect.

Notes

  • Long streaks are far more common than intuition suggests; this is the engine behind the gambler's fallacy.
  • Gambling math is informational only, not betting advice. Gambling involves risk of loss; only play with money you can afford to lose, and only if you are 18+ (or of legal age where you live).
