Default Re: Regression to the Mean vs. Gambler\'s Fallacy

For example, after 280 rolls in Monopoly, the average square has been landed on 7 times (I'm ignoring some fine points about squares that direct you to other squares like Chance and Go To Jail, and rolls when you are in jail). Indiana has been landed on 0 times, which is also 0% of the rolls.

Your response is helpful, but I do want to point out that due to dice rolling probabilities, jail, and the movement cards, the probability of landing on a space can vary quite dramatically between spaces, as you can see in this graph.
