Is a coin flip really 50/50?

With this virtual coin, yes: each flip has exactly a 50% chance per side, because the result comes from the browser's random number generator. Real coins are another story โ€” a 2023 study of more than 350,000 tosses measured a slight bias (about 51%) toward landing on whichever side was facing up at launch. So the digital version is actually fairer than the physical one.

Watch out for streaks: the gambler's fallacy

Four heads in a row doesn't make tails "due": every flip is independent and always starts fresh at 50%. That's exactly what the longest-streak stat above is there to show โ€” over twenty or so flips, a run of 4 or 5 identical results is completely normal, not a sign that the coin is rigged.
