nothing unlucky about it, its 50/50 everytime, just forget what went before.
Its the same with the numbers, odds on 36 coming out 1000 times in a row is the same as 1-36 coming out in random patterns.

NO 
Say I've had
Black
Red
Black
Red
Red
Red
Red
Red
What are the chances of it being Red and what are the chances of it being black?
EXACTLY the same.
In my little computer simulation I wrote (I was sad enough to do it, to stop me losing my money), you given enough time could get easily enough to hit the £1024 needed... but then often much more...
The problem is also, if you do it for £1 - you'll only be gaining £1 a time... so if it goes sour, you may have to risk THOUSANDS of pounds, to make 1 quid profit.
In your case to make £5 but the amount you'll have to wager is FAR higher.
Trust me give it a go 
I know first hand! I was doing it daily on a online casino and skimming £25 a day, by doing £1 each time. Then one day I had a run, long enough to run me out of money (or the amount I could be bothered to lose, to win a £1 back).
Trust me, you'll not win shit doing this in the long run.
