As for the 0 and 00... these were examples explaining chance, something which goes a lot easier with simple examples.
A roulette wheel isn't a random number generator. In fact, if you ask any mathematician or computer guru, they will tell you that there is no such thing as a random number generator, it's impossible. And the "ohh, it's hit black 10 times in a row, it'll hit red next" is a classic mistake of people who are new to roulette. If you don't believe me, consult any gambling book or avid gambler.
