These have to be some of the dumbest people on the planet. No, no, not the guys who are selling the Lotto newspapers described in the article. I'm talking about the total morons who pay $2.95 an issue to buy them. Their publication is based on a fallacy that the most basic probability completely disproves. In short, they argue that if you flip a coin nine times and it comes up tails every time, on the tenth flip you should bet heads because it's more likely to appear. It's "due". Sigh. People buy this crap. People who deserve to be separated from their money...
