conditionals on lists

I am trying to run a simulation of a roulette game and I have created
a list of 1's and -1's to represent wins and losses. Using the Split
command I can get ordered pairs with the first coordinate being either
1 or -1 and the second coordinate being the number of successive
entries. I am having trouble applying a conditional to this new list
as I would like to perform a different function depending on the first
coordinate of the ordered pair. How do I apply a conditional to a list
of ordered pairs?
