Broken a Record!

nick1611 · Jun 9, 2008

i think ive just broken a record i lost 50 races (when i say races i mean when i have between around 45-55% to win) in a row. mostly on full tilt.

I call selective memory!

I've seen a roulette wheel go 20+ times in a row black, so I suppose losing a coin flip 50 times in a row is not outside the realm of possibility. But do you realise that the odds of that happening are roughly 1 259 000 000 000 000 to 1 against. To put it in perspective you are much more likely to buy ONE Lotto 6/49 ticket on wednesday and win the jackpot then buy ONE ticket for the next draw on saturday and win that jackpot too (approx 13 700 000 X 13 700 000 or 187 690 000 000 000 to 1 against).

I really can't think of a more unbelievable story that's been posted here.

I don't think it's a flat out lie, but it's easy to bend the facts when frustrated.

Now, I can see playing 50 tournaments and getting knocked out of all of them when you were close to 50/50 at some point in the hand. It's easy to misplay and do that, then yell at fate.

yeah, he broke a record for the dumbest lie/exaggeration ever made on this forum

you didn't lose 50 coinflips in a row. you didn't lose even close to that. get an actual coin and try to lose 50 flips in a row. you'll spend your entire life trying

theskillzdatklls · Jun 9, 2008

i dont see how thats possible.. selective memory / selective hand issues most likely.

Million-to-one shots come off nine times out of ten, IMO.

joos · Jun 10, 2008

I will flip for my BR if you can prove this is true

acemcnasty · Jun 10, 2008

50 in a row? Even the worst poker mojo can't go 50 straight without catching a lucky break. Incredibley hard to believe.

Back in school, in maths once when doing probability, we had to flip a coin 200 times and record the results. My coin actually came up heads 100 times and tails 100 times, now as far as i see it, that is one hell of a rigged coin..

Panamajoe · Jun 10, 2008

Just a thought on probability...

How often have two State Lotteries matched their winning numbers? That is the same chance that YOU will pick a winning lottery number.

Makwa · Jun 10, 2008

Go for 100 and get back to us!! That would be a Guiness record at least!!

I lost 50 cents in a coke machine today

Stay off tilt - maybe thats your problem. There are some good articles here for combatting tilt.

In that order, that's amazing!

If there was a "Cardschat Hall of Martyrdom", you'd qualify as the Poster Boy. If the statistics hold true, you have a better chance of being declared a Saint.
