Roulette wheel bias: is it actually possible to find or just conspiracy

A guy I play poker with keeps insisting he’s found a biased wheel on one of the live dealer streams. He swears certain numbers come up more than they should and is logging every result like it’s going to crack the code. I told him physical bias on a digital stream seems off, but he’s convinced it’s possible with the real physical wheels the live studios use.

Curious if anyone’s actually seen real proof of this. I get how mechanical imperfections can happen at an old land casino if nobody’s keeping an eye on maintenance, but you’d think studios would change wheels or at least randomize tables to prevent this kind of thing. I mess around with stats sometimes, but can’t help thinking there’s a bit of gambler’s fallacy creeping into his ‘research.’ Anybody tracking results long-term or is this a waste of time?

Your instincts are solid - live studios switch out wheels way more often than old land casinos ever did, so hunting bias is usually a mirage now. If he logs results, I'd push for a sample size over ten thousand spins before taking any trend seriously.

If you’re after an edge, chasing table selection might do more for you than bias logs. Anyone notice bet365 roulette’s betting rules seem buried, or is that just a crypto casino thing?
