The gambler's fallacy is one of those logical fallacies of the human psyche that is equal parts hilarious and equal parts serious.

As you'll see in this episode, the examples I provide for this fallacy are almost laughable and ridiculous at times. But the impact it has on our everyday lives is uncanny. And that makes this a very important episode in the series of my episodes on human cognitive biases and logical fallacies.

For the entire series, please hop on to the playlist here.

It is a short and sweet episode, like most others in my podcast. :P
Hope you experience as much resonance listening to it as much I did while creating it.
