Frequently Asked Questions

Is a coin flip truly 50/50?+
A fair coin is theoretically 50/50, but researchers have found physical coins land slightly more often on the side they started on (~51%). For practical purposes like games and decisions, a coin flip is considered a fair 50/50 random choice.
Does past flipping affect future flips?+
No. Each coin flip is an independent event. Getting 10 heads in a row does not make tails more likely on the next flip — it's still 50%. This misconception is called the "gambler's fallacy."
