Read em' and Seek.

Go tell that long-tongued liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Johnny Cash

If a person flips a coin, the chances that it will be heads or tails is simply 1 in 2. 50/50. What are the odds that the coin will land on heads repeatedly if the coin is flipped 5 times in succesion? 10? 30?

Before the toss, no matter how many times your coin has landed on heads, even if it were 50 times in a row, the next toss will always be a 50/50 chance.

This is known as the gamblers fallacy.

In the song Run On, or God's gonna but you down, I think that Cash had it wrong. God won't cut ya down. The only one that will cut you down is luck.
