Now here is something interesting to add:

In school once, we had to flip a coin and record the heads or tails (do this 500 times). Results came out almost even (I think it was 48% and 52%). Now it is possible one or the other could have came up much more than the other, since each flip is individual odds.

ie. heads could have come up 50 times in a row, but as I remember it didnt. I just tried now in 10 times, got heads 6 tails 4. The most that came up was heads 3 times in a row.

Anyhow just adding this to the thread, I know it still doesnt make the above have any better odds to win heh ;p
