Which of the following beliefs are examples of the gambler's fallacy?

B) The long-run frequency of an event should apply in the short term as well.(For example, "He's a 90% free throw shooter, and he's already missed 2 out of 3 tonight.There's no way he's going to miss this next one.")
C) Knowledge of one event will help predict the next event, even though the events are independent.(For example, you may hear someone at the craps table saying to the person rolling the dice, "You're on a roll! Don't stop now!")
