Is this an example of the Ludic Fallacy?While betting on a roulette game where the croupier was employing a special throwing technique which resulted in a bias towards certain numbers, would I be committing a ludic fallacy if I solely took into account hypothetical mathematical probability?

Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

This is a tricky one. Being skeptical of such "throwing techniques," I would have to say no. However, if throwing techniques we actually demonstrated to significantly affect the outcomes, and one ignored this known fact, then yes.
