for coin tosses, how you bet won't matter. in the long run, you will go broke. if you play long enough you will flip 100 heads in a row. think about it: if you can make money doing this betting on heads, then the person betting on tails HAS TO LOSE MONEY. what if you decided to do your strategy on tails instead of heads: now the person betting heads HAS TO LOSE MONEY. now how can that be? how can head or tails be the winning choice based simply on the fact that you are betting that way? -g-
