The Law of Large Numbers indicates that as the number of events increases, results will average out to the expected value. In roulette, this means short-term results can vary widely, but over many spins, outcomes will align more closely with statistical probabilities. For example, in European roulette, where there are 37 numbers, the frequency of each number will approach its expected likelihood with enough spins. While players may face streaks of wins or losses in the short term, the overall results will increasingly match the game's odds over time, highlighting both the unpredictability of individual spins and the tendency for results to balance out.

Exactly, the Law of Large Numbers is a key concept in understanding how randomness works in games like roulette. It helps to explain why players can experience both short-term fluctuations in their results and long-term outcomes that align with the game's mathematical probabilities. This principle underscores the importance of considering averages and probabilities when analyzing the effectiveness of betting strategies or assessing the fairness of a game like roulette. By recognizing that individual outcomes are influenced by chance but tend to stabilize over a large number of trials, players can make more informed decisions based on the underlying principles of probability and statistical theory.
