understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

While I enjoy playing poker and visiting Casinos I only ever spend what I can afford to lose. However on the last 3 times visiting Casinos in the UK, before leaving I would always place a single bet on Roulette on a single number betting £25 each time. All 3 times I won on different numbers selected at random in a single bet. The strangest was the 4th time when I was visiting Las Vegas and decided to try my luck in the home of gambling. Upon arriving at my hotel with Casino I placed my 1st bet of £25 ($30), selecting another random number and luck would have it I won again... Paid for my wedding and honeymoon. Now what are the odds for that ?
