Part 1 · Gambler's Fallacy
🎯 VOTE

Coin experiment

A coin has been flipped 5 times in a row, and every time it landed HEADS.

H H H H H ?

What will happen on the sixth flip?

Who thinks tails is more likely now? Raise your hand!

Part 1 · Gambler's Fallacy

The coin does not remember!

Every flip is independent.

The probability of heads is always 50%

It does not matter what happened before.

"It landed red five times already, so now it has to be black!"

That is exactly how people think in a casino, and lose.

This is the gambler's fallacy
