Original guidance

A fair coin flip is simple, but streaks are normal.

A coin flip has two outcomes, but short runs rarely look perfectly balanced. Five heads in a row can happen without meaning the next flip is due for tails.

That makes coin flips useful for decisions and for explaining independent trials: each flip starts fresh.

Use it for low-stakes choices

Coin flips are best when either outcome is acceptable.

Expect streaks

Randomness can create runs that look suspicious even when nothing is wrong.

Do not use it for weighted decisions

If one option clearly matters more, a coin flip is probably the wrong decision tool.

Topic-specific questions

Is heads always 50 percent?

For a simple digital coin flip, heads and tails should each have a 50 percent chance.

Does a streak change the next flip?

No. Independent flips do not remember previous results.

When should I not flip a coin?

Avoid using a coin flip for decisions with serious consequences or unequal options.
