Question about coin flips
 
You're supposed to win 50% of them right? I mean, that is right, yes?

No, See I play with a two headed coin, I always call tails.

There used to be this football ref who would come out for the coin toss with a two headed coin. He told the players he had a two headed coin. Kids would still say tails.

Ask bdawg.

He seriously runs worse with flips than anyone I have ever met. I believe his personal best was an 0-15 streak...

You aren't supposed to win 50%.

You are too small of a sample.

In a 50/50 flip, as the number of repetitions approaches infinity, the balance of outcomes will approach 50/50.

Just play infinitely and you'll be fine. ;)

I believe that's what I said. :cool:;):thumbsup:
