| I've seen a roulette wheel go 20+ times in a row black, so I suppose losing a coin flip 50 times in a row is not outside the realm of possibility. But do you realise that the odds of that happening are roughly 1 259 000 000 000 000 to 1 against. To put it in perspective you are much more likely to buy ONE Lotto 6/49 ticket on wednesday and win the jackpot then buy ONE ticket for the next draw on saturday and win that jackpot too (approx 13 700 000 X 13 700 000 or 187 690 000 000 000 to 1 against). |

| I really can't think of a more unbelievable story that's been posted here. I don't think it's a flat out lie, but it's easy to bend the facts when frustrated. Now, I can see playing 50 tournaments and getting knocked out of all of them when you were close to 50/50 at some point in the hand. It's easy to misplay and do that, then yell at fate.

| yeah, he broke a record for the dumbest lie/exaggeration ever made on this forum you didn't lose 50 coinflips in a row. you didn't lose even close to that. get an actual coin and try to lose 50 flips in a row. you'll spend your entire life trying |

| lol, say your family has a business. That business is flipping coins. They flip coins one per second, every second of every day, they do it in their sleep, they do it when they eat, etc. These people live to be 100 and from the moment they are born to the moment they die are flipping coins. You would expect this family to have one string of 50 in every 17,851,026 generations. Yes not even 17 million generations, all living to be 100 and all flipping at 1 per second from birth to death would be able to do this. Or instead let's use the Earth, it's estimated to be 4.5 billion years old. If this family was around at the creation of Earth, and was routinely flipping a coin per second, for all 4.5 billion years, it would have happened approximately twice. So yeah, basically I don't believe you lol. |
