Page "Gambler's fallacy" Paragraph 34

The gambler's fallacy can also be attributed to the mistaken belief that gambling ( or even chance itself ) is a fair process that can correct itself in the event of streaks, otherwise known as the just-world hypothesis.

Other researchers believe that individuals with an internal locus of control-that is, people who believe that the gambling outcomes are the result of their own skill-are more susceptible to the gambler's fallacy because they reject the idea that chance could overcome skill or talent.
