Roulete with 37 numbers in total! If I keep betting on same number again and again, what are my chances to not hit it in 100, 150, 200 and 250 spins?

Hi, and welcome to the forum.
a) (36/37)^100 = 6.457697 %
b) (36/37)^150 = 1.64103 %
c) (36/37)^200 = 0.4170185 %
d) (36/37)^250 = 0.1059727 %
It wouldn't make any difference if you kept betting on different numbers.
Psalm 25:16
Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
Proverbs 18:2
A fool finds no satisfaction in trying to understand, for he would rather express his own opinion.

agree and add thisQuote: GuntisAndersonswhat are my chances to not hit it in 100, 150, 200 and 250 spins?
a) (36/37)^100 = about 1 in 16
b) (36/37)^150 = about 1 in 61
c) (36/37)^200 = about 1 in 240
d) (36/37)^250 = about 1 in 944
all these values are BEFORE one spin has happened.
once a spin or spins have happened the probability has changed.
take a) say 99 spins and NO # hit.
a) (36/37)^100 = about 1 in 16
the probability the next spin does hit is 1 in 37,
does NOT hit = 36/37 or about 97.3%
