I know it's stupid, I know the chance of hitting a certain number is always the same, whether it was last hit 10 seconds or 10 years ago, and yet, sometimes, when I play Roulette I keep betting on the same number waiting for it to pop up eventually. Sometimes it does, and other times it doesn't even after 150+ rolls, but I'd rather stop the game than change the number after 150 consecutive fails in a row. 
I'll do the same thing, the hardest thing to accept is when you change the number and after a few rolls your number come out, so you end up sticking your number and hope that it will eventually come out even if it means a long wait, but twenty years of betting is a long perseverance, I'm glad that stick to their game, the worse is if they change the number or stop betting in their 19th year and the next year it comes out, congratulation to this couple.
Yep, by not changing the initial number we are saving us from the possible psychological damage.
I'm too glad they won in the end. And replying to @Kelvinid, no, I don't think they've lost more than $60 million in the course of 20 years. They don't look like millionaires, they are regular folks, and I'm happy for them.

To be sincere, it not stupid. I have seen a friend that does this every time he plays lotto (though it, not the gambling I like) and he has won on several occasions and also lost on several occasions.It a risk way of gambling but not risky if the person can afford to lose the money cause it does wonder sometimes.
If you mean that with this strategy and high enough bankroll one can beat the house, I disagree with you.
