You: The odds of the NEXT flip being heads is 50%. True. Me: The odds of the next flip being heads GIVEN that you've flipped 9 heads in a row is 0.1% That's the math. There is no other math. Now, let's take that to a casino ... If you're playing at the coin flip table and you bet $1 on each flip that it comes up heads, your odd of winning on the next flip is 50%. Your odds of winning 10 flips in a row is only 0.1% So the casino could entire you to play by saying that you win the $10,000 jackpot if you can flip 10 heads in a row. They can feel comfortable that 99.9% of the time they won't have to pay out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:220412 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
