This is a request for information. This subject can die.
There is a site for a coin flip generator at the bottom of this post. It
will come up with a photo of the head/tail of a coin that the last
visitor flipped.
There is a one flip selected. [There are several other generators
available.]
Each time you push the button, it will flip the coin.
You are going to bet on heads. Push the button.
If it lands heads ... you win and you quit and post your result as 1
play. Get a piece of paper to list your play.
If it lands tails, play again because you are one behind. But put a
mark on your paper that you are -1. If it lands tails again, play
again because you are two behind and mark -2. If it lands heads, play
again because you are one behind and mark -1. If it lands heads, play
again because you are even, mark 0. If it lands heads, quit, count and
report your total flips.
If you never get ahead ... you report:
(1) your total number of tries/flips and
(2) the -X when you quit flipping and
(3) whether you ever got 0 (at flip number-s) along the way and
(4) your highest negative number behind
It took me 6 flips to win one bet. Maybe all of us might make a
reasonable group to just see if most of the time we get even or ahead if
we play a short time. Your results may vary, but that is the point of
this simple test.
[A friend on mine not on the list tried it and quit after 50 flips ...
he was down -4 ... never got down more than -8. Serious result, but he
started with four straight losses, one win, followed by a win and then
three straight losses ... he never got lower than -3 along the way and
finally quit at 50 tries ... down -4.]
Very interesting reminder that keeping playing is not any sort of
guarantee you will win one net bet. But it does show that if you do get
ahead one bet, you might consider quitting. How often do you start out
losing four straight ... but it does happen.
Play and report. Please I will stop talking about it if that is the
final vote. We can go back to all the other interesting topics.
