probability of 11 once you've flipped 10 is 50-50. probability of 11 starting from 0 is ~1/2000. probability of n in a row is 1 over 2^n.

I need a computer simulation of this, because I have
only hit 5 once.
Of course the most I can lose is the original stake, so the question is how much do I make before I get to 10.
