This is one flawed logic that many gamblers fall into. At the beginning of play, the likelihood of 20 black in a row is .0001%. At the point when there have already had 19 black in a row you still have a 50% chance of getting black at that point. This is due to the fact that blacks are not being removed from the pool of possible options. They say "what is the likelihood that another black will come and in fact it is 50%.
Your "knowledge" can be considered misleading to people that don't understand probability at a high level. I think you need to admit this is not anything to do with your knowledge of mathematics and 100% due to you falling into a common fallacies of gamblers. It happens to many people and is nothing to be ashamed of but I feel this AMA could be very misleading.
