Let's look at it this way:

have you ever heard of black appearing like 50 times in a row?
No! It may have happened a few times in the history but chances are actually almost minimal that it will happen. So I tend to believe that while you're playing roulette, it is simply unlikely that on that particular day on that particular place black ( or red ) will appear an unusually high number of times in a row.
Ok, 4 may be still a little number, but let's make it 8.

I know what you are saying, once again, I am saying this with no theoreticla knowledge behind..just explaining my point of view, that is also the point of view of some other people.

You probaby also heard of people who put the money on black and if they not win, they simply double their bid, UNTIL they win.
It's one of the ( simplest ) strategies to play roulette I've read about.

But once again, I may be wrong, and when you will convince me that I am , I will gladly admit it and solve this problem once and for all in my mind
you're awfully wrong man. Probability doesn't change. :-)
