If you watched a roulette wheel and saw red follow black 18 times out of 19, which way would you bet after the 20th black?

Red. I always bet red.

"Let me offer you a bet: give me £100 and take a ball out of my hat. One ball says I give you back £92 while the other 18 say I give you £179. Interested?"

What about the other ball with "You lose the lot, sucker!"? He seems to have forgotten that one.

I actually saw 18 consecutive black-odds happen in a casino in London about 20 years ago. I had been to cash in some winnings and returned to the table and there had been a run of about 8 black-odds, according to a mate, so I backed red-even until I had no more money. I stopped going to casinos after that because it convinced me that they are bent.
After I had lost that money, my mate said that the ball had left the table just before that run started.

It's as rare as an honest pimp to find a proper (i.e. not in someone's front room/a back street, etc.) gaming place that is bent, in the way you suggest. The odds are, forever, in their favour without need to cheat.
