Well, if your gonna make "infinity" trades and bank on the next coin flip, get after it sparky. 10 of 10 heads, the probability of heads the 11th remains 50%. Period. Stay in school.
However in the real world probability is also dependent on the set itself. The trend is not your friend. If you get 10 heads in a row, probability to get head is more than 50%
GRRRR (troll cheer)....other trolls now have leader troll! Ruthless, irrefutable logic and correct maths cower to flatulently voiced concepts of quanta and energy. Mortal trolls would have to have contented themselves with bit parts in Peter Jackson films or be faced with onerous task of locating Probability 101 textbook in Dewey Decimal system. Here now is a troll worthy of our devotion!
the guy kind of makes sense in a real world situation. if i got head 10 nights in a row, the probability of me getting head on 11th night is probably higher than 50%
ok, ok. the probability of a two-outcome scenario is not really 50%. Sometimes......when you roll 2 six-sided dice.....you get a total of "1" and sometimes "13". Not very often, but in the quanta of horseshit and "energy" that is complete dimensia, it does exist. Now go forth and do great things.
If the first 10.999.999 coin flips are heads then the probability for the 11 milionth one to also be heads is nearly 100%. There is obviously something wrong with the coin that makes it (almost) always land on the same side. Or perhaps there's a head on each side of the coin. Or the coin flipper is a good con artist. Moral of the story is that at some point the probability that someone is trying to game us can become comparable or larger than the probability to get the outcome we're witnessing, and that needs to be taken into account. Applies to live trading as well.
