Coin Flips

I was looking for a coin flipping engine (bored... yes) and I came across This Page which will give you sample coin flips. The interesting part was at the bottom of the page...

There have been 17530830 coins flipped resulting in 8762075 heads and 8768755 tails

So that's what
50.01% tails
49.99% heads
over 17.53M flips

I guess in the long run things do come out in the wash (?)

Side Note: Another Coin Flipper, And Another The second also shows...

You know though, this second example shows that, if these were poker coin flips, someone could go through a 151K coin flip downswing, while another player(s) has the opposite 151K upswing. (but that's if you play a billion hands )
