we all know tails always wins, so why do people still pick heads? makes no sense to me.

not accurate. if you lfip a coin enough times it will always end up being 50/50. thats what odds r.

actually the heads side is heavier on a lot of coins and over like a million flips youll probably get about 500,400 heads and 499,600 tails

i mean in terms of the odds. clearly based on a 50 50 chance you would assume it would be half for each

well one side being heavier than the other would change the odds, its basically 50.50 but just not

people are taking this thread too seriously...

i was just wondering if anyone else had the same mindset as me whenever they call heads or tails... i mean i always call tails, heads just cant win in my mind.

I'm with you. Whenever I had to call heads or tails at the beginning of a soccer match there was no decision making in my head. It was just always tails.

it depends on the coin, there's one kind of coin, i think it's a half dollar, that's weighted weird but i think most it's slightly more likely to hit heads if you flip it a ton of times
