I hope your Doc did better in his health courses than in statistics! Each "flip of the coin" is an independent event. Each flip in a series is 50-50. You can bet the series, but let's say for simplicity sake, three flips...then there are 8 outcomes. (23). No matter the history, each flip is 50-50. A three-sided coin, 1/3 --1/3--1/3 for each flip Three "shots?" 27 outcomes, but each flip is still 1/3 --1/3--1/3.
