The Gambler's Fallacy is that "bad feeling" you get when you are on a winning streak, as if something bad is on the way; or that "good feeling" you get when you are on a losing streak and figure your time is coming. However, each event is statistically independent, so the feelings you get are unrealistic. Or, put another way, Gambler's Fallacy is the antithesis of Karma :-).
