"I'm due a win": the gambler's fallacy, sentence 6
In a game of skill it is different again: losing eight Mario Kart races in a row doesn't make you "due" a win; it usually means the other player is better.
Who acts: weather, losing, it, other player · What happens: be, lose, not make, mean · To what, where: game, eight Mario Kart races, row, you · Speech: someone speaks here
