zero pocket magnet

So how much are we really supposed to trust the idea that the ball "likes" the zero pocket, or that the zero is secretly magnetic or gets favored? I keep seeing people claim the zero hits way more than it should, especially after a streak of reds or blacks. I've looked at my own logs and yeah, sometimes zero pops up in weird clumps, but then, so does the 17 or the 6 every now and then.

Curious if anybody's actually run a good sample size on this, like a few thousand spins logged, not just gut feelings after a bad streak. Is there really any statistical reason to prioritize zero more than any other number, or is this just another casino superstition people latch onto after losing a few bets?
