Here's a thought experiment that might help: imagine what you say is truly the case - that would mean you could "charge up" a dice by rolling it until you got a long run of a given number - lets pick something arbitrary, say you roll until you get 5 twos in a row. According to what you've said the chance of the next number rolled being a two is now lower than it was when you started "charging up" your dice.

How is this possible? Nothing is physically changing about the dice between rolls.
