The human mind is brilliant at finding patterns, and it is easy to assume a pattern is significant when it isn't.
That's why if you ask someone to make a random tally of 100 coin flips in their head, hardly anyone would put 7 heads or tails in a row because they notice the pattern and it make it look less random.... but the chance of getting 7 heads or 7 tails in a row out of 100 coin flips is about 1 in 3 (I haven't done the math on that statistic personally though)
