This isn't news, but a lot of gamblers like to think that they are somehow controlling games of pure chance. That's why Baccarat players take all those notes, and why roulette players like those boards showing what numbers have been hitting, and why craps and blackjack players like to talk about "hot" and "cold" tables.
But it is all, of course, bullshit. If you have fun getting free drinks and losing your money at a 1%-5% rate, then go to Vegas and play the table games. I enjoy them a fair bit, myself. And, if it is more fun for you to keep detailed notes on how the dice are rolling in craps, then please go ahead. I am sure that the casino will even lend you the pencil.
But you are being a tool when you make other people feel bad for not playing "your" way.
