However, despite this, random chance still greatly affects your results. A run of bad luck makes players question probabilities and decision-making, and it\u2019s easy to fall into the gambler\u2019s fallacy trap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read on to learn more about what the gambler\u2019s fallacy is, how it affects your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.borgataonline.com\/en\/poker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>online poker<\/strong><\/a> game, and, most importantly, how to avoid it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-gambler-s-fallacy\"><strong>What Is Gambler\u2019s Fallacy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gambler\u2019s fallacy is the incorrect belief that a random event is more or less likely to occur based on previous results. For example, many gamblers believe that a run or streak of a particular outcome lowers the probability of it occurring again in the immediate future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This fallacy is an example of cognitive bias that can affect anyone. It\u2019s particularly common in games where correctly guessing the sequence of outcomes results in winning money. Even those who understand statistics and probability often fall victim to this bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A very common example of the gambler\u2019s fallacy in action can be found at the roulette wheel. A long run of the ball landing on black would convince a lot of people that red is \u201cdue\u201d in the next spin. However, this is incorrect. The probability of the outcome doesn\u2019t change for any single spin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, this bias is dubbed the \u201cMonte Carlo fallacy.\u201d This supposedly dates back to an incident in 1913 at the Monte Carlo Casino. It\u2019s reported that, on one particularly fateful day, the wheel landed on black 26 times in a row. As a result, a lot of gamblers bet heavily on red, thinking that the current hot streak was unsustainable. They are said to have lost millions in the process, proving that this belief is nothing more than a fallacy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-so-many-believe-in-gambler-s-fallacy\"><strong>Why So Many Believe in Gambler\u2019s Fallacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120256\/Body-1-1-1024x630.jpg\" alt=\"An ace pair hand\" class=\"wp-image-14115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120256\/Body-1-1-1024x630.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120256\/Body-1-1-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120256\/Body-1-1-768x473.jpg 768w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120256\/Body-1-1.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120256\/Body-1-1.jpg?w=130 130w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120256\/Body-1-1.jpg?w=390 390w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120256\/Body-1-1.jpg?w=520 520w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120256\/Body-1-1.jpg?w=650 650w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120256\/Body-1-1.jpg?w=909 909w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120256\/Body-1-1.jpg?w=1170 1170w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120256\/Body-1-1.jpg?w=450 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people fall into the trap of thinking that past results affect future outcomes in some way. This occurs in all areas of life, not just in gambling. It stems from a natural human instinct to try and rationalize random events and make them seem more logical.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The modern world is more advanced than ever. But one thing will never change. Human brains are wired to look for ways to make order out of chaotic events. A junk explanation is preferred over no explanation at all. And this is applied to random events, like gambling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Psychological research also shows that people struggle to think in large sample sizes. In addition, humans often have a cognitive bias that ignores data to focus on the result they want to see.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In online poker tournaments, there\u2019s certainly a lot of strategy involved. But playing against other people will always bring emotions into play. It\u2019s easy to lose focus on the logic and statistics when you\u2019re getting frustrated by your opponents, especially when you suffer a bad beat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gambler-s-fallacy-in-poker\"><strong>Gambler\u2019s Fallacy in Poker<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gambler\u2019s fallacy definitely influences the enjoyment of games like slots and roulette. It\u2019s hard not to feel that a slot machine is due to pay out soon after a long losing run. And everyone&#8217;s already heard about the legendary Monte Carlo incident. Perhaps surprisingly though, this same bias is also present in some online poker real money players.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine, for example, you\u2019re in a heads-up pot and the board shows the potential for your opponent to have a royal flush. However, because you lost to a royal flush in an <a href=\"https:\/\/poker.borgataonline.com\/en\/tournaments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>online poker tournament<\/strong><\/a> yesterday, you feel that it would be extremely unlikely for it to happen again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this scenario, you would be better off playing the probability ranges that you can actually see. In this case, if your opponent\u2019s range suggests they may have a stronger hand, you should fold \u2014 end of discussion. The cards don\u2019t care about what happened in the last hand. It\u2019s important to focus on facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, imagine you\u2019re dealt 6\u2663 5\u2663. In the past, you\u2019ve won quite a bit with this hand and it\u2019s become your favorite. It sticks in your mind as one you\u2019ve done well with because you\u2019ve won a disproportionate amount recently. Your past performances lead to you playing it again and you end up losing a big pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this scenario, you\u2019re once again better off folding the hand in the face of serious aggression. Just because you\u2019ve won with a speculative hand before, that doesn\u2019t guarantee you\u2019ll have success with it again. Even total beginners who are just learning how to play poker will recognize this. But it\u2019s still easy for the bias to influence your actions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tips-for-avoiding-gambler-s-fallacy\"><strong>Tips for Avoiding Gambler\u2019s Fallacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s very difficult to avoid falling into the trap of the gambler\u2019s fallacy. However, there are certain steps that can minimize its effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-understand-the-fallacy\"><strong>Understand the Fallacy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid letting bias influence you, you need to understand it and the reason why it\u2019s illogical. If you want success in poker online games, you should know that every hand is unrelated to any other. You have the same odds of receiving cards as any other player at the table, and this is the same every time you play.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-focus-on-the-stats-that-matter\"><strong>Focus on the Stats That Matter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120302\/Body-2-1-1024x630.jpg\" alt=\"A poker player with a straight flush hand next to some poker chips\" class=\"wp-image-14116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120302\/Body-2-1-1024x630.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120302\/Body-2-1-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120302\/Body-2-1-768x473.jpg 768w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120302\/Body-2-1.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120302\/Body-2-1.jpg?w=130 130w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120302\/Body-2-1.jpg?w=390 390w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120302\/Body-2-1.jpg?w=520 520w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120302\/Body-2-1.jpg?w=650 650w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120302\/Body-2-1.jpg?w=909 909w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120302\/Body-2-1.jpg?w=1170 1170w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/15120302\/Body-2-1.jpg?w=450 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.borgataonline.com\/en\/blog\/learning-poker-strategies-as-beginner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>learning poker strategies as a beginner<\/strong><\/a>, it\u2019s easy to make mistakes. Some players are sucked into the gambler\u2019s fallacy by concentrating on the wrong stats. You might feel it\u2019s possible to improve your chances by focusing on past hands.
