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?

Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

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.
