Dice have no memory
The odds of tossing a fair coin ten times and getting a head each time is 1024 to one against. But if you toss a fair coin nine times and get nine heads, the odds of the tenth toss being a head is still evens. Similarly, the fact we've won the last several games doesn't alter our odds of winning the next one. The notion of being "due one" doesn't exist mathematically (though it certainly does psychologically, at least for the fans).
