The correct answer is: **an argument that bases decisions on the false belief that random occurrences are somehow predictive of future outcomes.**

The gambler's fallacy is the belief that past random events can influence the outcome of future random events, such as thinking that a coin is "due" to land on heads after a series of tails.
