Is it JAVA?

Yes, there usually is, but it can be quite difficult. You (usually) need to know the generator implementation/algorithm, how the generator was seeded, and some numbers in the random sequence (before the number you want to predict) alternatively how many numbers have been generated (before the number you want to predict).

ok so there is a website that have a 7 bet option. how can i find the algorithm and predict the outcome?

That's very difficult and I suggest you to consult professional penetration tester if you want to do such a thing. Moreover if it's a professional betting service they're probably using hardware or a service which generate true randomness. In that case it's virtually an impossible task.

On the topic of random-- If anyone wants truly random numbers, try this website: http://www.random.org/ using unpredictable 'atmospheric noise' it generates random numbers in an unpredictable manner

It's a neat service and was actually started by a friend of my currect professor (Dr. Jim Dowling). The world is a small place ^^
